The proposed Appendix A presents Munro as compiler of provisional transliterations reconstructed from inscriptions, oral transmission, and resonance-field analysis. Entries include Aruun, Ovara, Gaerath, Velora, Searath-Lúm, Rúmvel, Thalovar, Eris, Maerlin, Maʿat, Heka, Danū, Bóchra, Rónach, Áilun, Sérqa, Thessan, Dúra, Kaia Sat-Danū, Braunach, Heshka, and common phrases.
Its most useful narrative property is epistemic: Munro’s glosses can be intelligent, evidence-based, and still incomplete or wrong. That allows the novel to show scholarship changing as context changes—the same interpretive architecture used by the Toy. Accordingly, this record should not automatically overwrite the objective language/cosmology records. For example, the appendix calls Maerlin the ‘Seed-Mother comet,’ while other current material treats Mother Stone as the deep-time panspermia story; this requires reconciliation rather than silent merger.
Open questions
- Does Munro's lexicon appear in the novel, an appendix, or only the story bible?
- Which of Munro's translations are intentionally incomplete or mistaken?
- Is 'Maerlin' as Seed-Mother comet retained, revised, or separated from the Mother Stone tradition?
