1: Strange Companions (32.1)
lalanu (LALANU) is NAL slang for “winter leaf or leaves of grass” — in short, a flake.
Ilon insinuates the East (where he is from) is as male-dominated as Ondo asserts; jokingly he translates Ondo’s name for his home hemisphere: The Air Dominion, after its rule of the skies.
Ondo calls its own femaledom the Sea Dominion and refers to a laledom as the Land Dominion. It isn’t just folk tales, though, since each of these names represents classical military strengths of their respective homelands.
Fixed typo.
