I tink they did ursidae Send a noteboard - 31/12/2009 10:52:32 AM
I seem to remember that the Aiel did that when Rand experienced his anchestors' lives in Rhuidean.

Isn't it a bit curious that many Aes Sedai demand of lesser people that they are called by their name and the "honorific Sedai". After all, many or most Aes Sedai and other educated people should know that "sedai" just means "servant" in the Old Tongue. That basically means an Aes Sedai e.g. wants to be properly adressed by a servant/novice as "Servant Lelaine", "Servant Elaida" or "Servant Cadsuane", for example. On the other hand, it's said that a character like Nynaeve often tries to make a point by never adding the honorific Sedai to the name, though that only means that she doesn't call the Aes Sedai servant.

I also wondered, did we ever learn if the Aes Sedai in the AoL, also added the honorific sedai to their name, like Lews Sedai? I only remember their honorific third name.

Anyway, on an unrelated side-note:
Just learned that you can already preorder Towers of Midnight from Amazon.uk. :)

And Sedai is not a title? - 31/12/2009 08:47:03 PM 855 Views
Nope, it is an honorific. - 31/12/2009 09:31:37 PM 925 Views

I think we're pretty much in agreement - 01/01/2010 09:26:26 PM 905 Views

They don't care. The meaning of the honorific is irrelevant - all significance comes from context - 01/01/2010 06:08:40 AM 815 Views
