Some corrections to Talon's list

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.

Talon has listed some proper names not in the list at the beginning of
_Blue_.  I would like to offer the following (minor) corrections:

>Magnesia / Name assumed by Matera Rose-Marble (see Molybdenum)	/ 37.6

"Magnesia" was her (Marble's) original name; she assumed "Molybdenum" in
order to win Hammerstone.

>Man, The / The tyrant ruler of the city Han / 370.-1

Actually present in the names list, top of p. 9.

>Molpe / Minor goddess on The Whorl / 139.-1, 228.2

Actually a major goddess, one of the Nine.

>Molybdenum / aka Molly. Name assumed by Matera Rose-Marble (see Magnesia) /
>37.6

_Moly_. _Maytera_.

>Shrike / Aquaintance of Marrow / 39.-1

(additionally) A butcher, husband of Scleroderma.

>Sphigx / Minor goddess on The Whorl / 289.-3

Actually a major goddess, one of the Nine.
