2) Wolfe uses Italian now, interesting. I'm sure using an Italian dictionary on the character's names will yield some enlightening information.
I translated most of the characters' names for mantis. Would the list like this to be posted? (It saves time with a dictionary, and is, in a few cases, amusing.) You could email me, but, if there are compelling negatives, perhaps posting is better.
