symbols, motifs, and extra textual relevance vs. onomastic onanism

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.

Sandwalker's 'tree' grows large when he sleeps with Seven Girls Waiting. The Marshmen steal boy children from the Hillmen and castrate them to make their shamans (as Sweetmouth notices in the pit), and they do not grow beards.? The talk of trees is essentially myth and wordplay.

This is where we vary the most - I think the tree allusion to his genitals is the distraction away from their other form of reproduction, this one we are mechanistically familiar with as readers, a metaphor in use because there is more than one way to inseminate an abo, skin a cat, or what have you.
