I can't remember, but I thought Avendesora was the only chora to survive and that they gave a cutting to the Cairhienen. I suppose even if this was the case that it wouldn't count as reproduction, just a cloning, but it does suggest one way for some constructs to make copies (or have copies made).

I am also curious about Someshta... He says he remembers Wolfbrothers when he meets Perrin, but this must mean he is even older than the AOL (or at least was already very old by its end) unless I missed something and there were wolfbrothers during the War of Power. He also remarks that it's been TWO thousand years since he's been under Avendesora. Was this a mistake on RJ's part, or did he have something to do with Rhuidean after being set up to guard to the Eye?

Finally, you recently suggested that Nakomi and the Green Man may have been ancient gods predating the Wheel cosmology. Did you mean that the Nym were ancient gods, or that they were created to celebrate that tradition? In the AOL, seed singing was done by men with a Green Man, so this leaves out the female aspect of that older cosmology. What was Nakomi's role? If not growth and rebirth, how was she supposed to work with the Green Man? Was the Serpent more than a symbol for time in this cosmology? Was there any space for the Dark One, or the True Source? I think the Horn of Valere (already an ancient misunderstood object during the AOL) may also have something to do with this older belief system. Some things we are told are very old, maybe older than the AOL: The Way of the Leaf, Dreamers, Wolfbrothers, the Horn of Valere, the Great Serpent, Portal Stones, the Ogier and the Stedding, the Tower of Ghenji... Do you think there are clues here to the outcome of the Last Battle, or are these just elements of world building?
