Seawrack's name

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This article on wikipedia got me thinking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrenka

The warrior mermaid depicted on the Coat of Arms of Warsaw is called a
"syrenka" (little mermaid in Polish). I notice also that it has one arm
behind a shield, effectively cutting it off. (It's the left arm and not the
right, but it's still a "missing" arm).  The name is also similar enough
that I could see Horn converting it.
