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.

Another image that has bothered me is the way Cedar Branches Waving , the mother, is described as deflated and empty after the births, and the way that lack of food and success in the hint  is called empty days, coupled with the way seven girls waiting is so insistent that even though she has not eaten she still has milk as if it is what will decide her fate. 

Empty and deflated just doesn't seem like typical birthing terms, nor an infant shooting out and stomping on the ground before anyone notices, not even entirely anthropomorphic.
