Names, animals and meanings (U)

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.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

Urus.  Bos primigenius.  Also called the aurochs.  Ten foot long
bovid.  Domesticated by humans.  Now extinct. Criminal.  Associate of
Auk's.  Sentenced to the pits. Led group.  Gave information to the
Trivigauntis.  This is the only species used as a name in the books
that is extinct.  Saying the letters in the name sounds like "you are
you is."  This reminds me of Mint telling Urus that some people are
just naturally bad and can't be changed, you are what you are.
