imriel452 Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I was thinking about Nakomi the other day, and the fact that it is one of the remaining mysteries left in the WoT, and it got me thinking: When Aviendha asks Bair about Nakomi, she says that she knows nobody by that “ancient name” which led me to the Companion, and the Old Tongue Dictionary...which is where I discovered the following: Nak- Who O- a Mi- My Or Whoamy...Who am I... Could it be, that after all the years of fan speculation, RJ wanted to have a last moment of fun with us all, where we could speculate to our wits end, but in the end, we may never know... If that is the case, you know what, I think I’m good with that- it’s definitely a perfect answer for me. 10
TrдVψLшR 0115 he/him Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I would say that is a fair assessment. I want to know (also about rands new magic) but I can also respect RJ leaving some mystery there which I am always a sucker for. J. J. Abrams likes to do that too
Wyndlerunner he/him Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 It could also be possible that the being that refers to itself as Nakomi is referring to itself with that title to purposely throw Aviendha off. The Aiel seem to have a much greater usage of the Old Tongue than the other cultures in Randland, so if this being (Whether or not it is Future!Aviendha or the Avatar of The Creator) had any intention of keeping their true identity hidden from Aviendha, creating a purposely misleading title seems like the best way to do it. (Or, Nakomi is just really wanted to troll Aviendha and the community) But those are just my thoughts on the matter
