At first Sinew did\nnot hate Horn but at some point between his birth and Horn's leaving for his\ntrip to Pajarocu, he believes Sinew came to hate him.\n\n-Horn gives no evidence that Sinew hates Nettle, but Sinew does not feel\nenough love/loyalty to stay on Lizard with her and protect her.  Or did she\nmake him go to protect Horn as she sent Hoof and Hide out to search for\nHorn?\n\n-Sinew was determined to go to Pajarocu and helped his father on the lander.\nHe stayed with Horn part of the time on Green but at some point\n*defected/deserted* Horn.\n\nThe question I haven't been able to answer is what is it that Sinew has\nagainst Horn and possibly Nettle that the other children Hoof and Hide don't\nseem to have against their parents.\n\nMy first thought was that it was anger that they didn't protect him from the\ninhuma.  But then why did Horn say that it was when Sinew was older (12?\n15?) that he came to hate Horn?  I couldn't find the reference just now but\nvaguely remember a line in IGJ saying something like...Hoof and Hide were\nalways good sons and so was Sinew, at least at first.\n\nWhat happened to turn Sinew against Horn?  I keep feeling that until I know\nthat event (One of GW's big secrets) the whole mystery won't be revealed.\n\nDennis/Endy\nhttp://home.mindspring.com/~endymion9/index.htm\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
