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.

I need to look at it again but I think this is a silk, horn, and windcloud kind of hus sharing.  Eventually it's just Horn in there but the hus is a nice intermediate house for displaced spirits.  Remember by that point I believe the rajah to be fully silk and horn to be almost entirely in Babbie since the last chapter of one when he says goodbye and Babbie actually shows up, being called by his name. 

The tree of quetzal is not a neighbor but probably a vanished god, as are the cannibal trees on green and the giant "herbs" that make up the islands on blue.

The trees can make new vanished people or neighbors but are not "really" them. 

The liana actually are primitive inhuma who have not been exposed to animal or human blood in some generations.  Eating and drinking are important to these creatures, but the recombinatory affect of the liana-adult inhumi may very well be a product of parasitizing the vanished gods-trees, who have the ability to produce hybrid offspring much more effectively than the debased lianas.
