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.

Sort of a silly question if the beings in question are plural in nature, not
individuals. We have a clear example of such in Tzadkiel.

Not a copy. A shared portioning. Soul is like fire, maybe. A plasma-like substance.
It can be shared without losing any of itself. Surely when Tzadkiel breaks him/her
island-sized self into smaller giant, man, monkey and fairy sized portions, each 
one has a full measure of the original soul without loss by the original.

Horn died in the pit. No worries there. The discussion ought to be more on whether
a Neighbor shared its soul to facilitate the resurrection. I think James makes a
good case for this. Especially when a hooved, horned animal is involved.

Please no more talk of "which Neighbor". It clearly doesn't matter much. They share
a soul which burns about the same in all of them. Including within SilkHorn it
would seem. This shared soul would help explain dream travel.
