Ishikk's Foreigners Theory

[Thalath he/him]

So this is my first ever post on the forums. There might already have been a theory about this but I was thinking about it. I was rereading The Way of Kings and I came to Ishikks chapture in the first interlude. As far as I can remember this is the only time we meet him in the Stormlight Archive. Now the interesting part of the chapture is at the end when the meeting is over and the foreigners are leaving. The man Ishikk called Grump said, "Where are you, Roamer? What a fool's quest this is." Now the interesting part is what he said in his own language, "Alavanta kamaloo kayana." That if I'm not mistaken is Duladel from Sel due to the word, kayana. I dont think the same word from Elantris is a coincidence. So foreigners from Sel are on Roshar looking for Hoid. I'm excited for Oathbringer to see if there's a chapture on Ishikk or the Foreigners. Looking forward to your thoughts and theories regarding it.

Yeah I did a little more research after posting that and found that brandom had confirmed that they were.

Thanks, I'm a pretty recent Sanderson fan.

Since they are from Sel, and they are worldhoppers, could they be

Only one of them is from Sel, and I'm pretty sure we have it confirmed they are members of the Seventeenth Shard.
