    LOVE. For the next task, you must descend into the chasms and face the fearsome chasmfiend. ...Later: How was the chasmfiend? Obelix: Very tasty.

    The house names are usually written with a glyphpair (two glyphs) but it's also possible to write each of them as just one glyph.

    Yeah, there's an error here. Where it currently says "Twelve days" on page 788, it's supposed to say "Eleven days." That should fix everything you say here, right? Page 871 is correct. Page 367 should be "faring." Thanks!

    I don't think there's a hotdog equivalent in Herdazian food, but I could be wrong.

    Glyphs can have extra lines added that are just decoration.

    Isn't this what the Theoryland database is for? Who has editing access on that currently?

    The Lopen is correct whenever it is used. And Lopen is correct whenever that is used. "Weak as wet" is also correct. I need to look at the number of Shards thing further.

    Vamah, not Valam. Valam is Veden.

    Reya is somebody female and important.

    Kaladin has turned 20 but Renarin is still 19 (all in Roshar years).
  11. PeterAhlstrom
    Could be an error. I'll look into it.

    It is not a meta comment.

    Chasm life picture.

    The 7:46 thing is because of different time systems in use in different areas. The regrowth/Blade-severed arm thing has a specific reason for it.

    Yeah, the glyphs are all in Alethi rather than transliterated English. Including Freedom.

    Re: Urithiru's location, the book says "Judging from the sun height, the scholars placed them near the center of Roshar, somewhere in the mountains near Tu Bayla or maybe Emul." So TomR is looking in the same ballpark as the Alethi scholars. #2 is the only one he got dead wrong. I'm very impressed.

    Actually, the bridge 4 glyph does not say "bridge" in English. It uses the Alethi word. If you found "brj" in there, that's a coincidence.

    The zero-width spaces in the ebook are there just to make the paragraph reflow without the ebook reader adding hyphens. They and their placement don't have anything to do with the code.

    Compare it to the one here.

    Brandon is never asleep at 2 a.m. Anyway the Silence Divine may end up as a novella rather than a novel. Brandon has mentioned that before.

    Just in case there's any doubt: What's in the book is not an error.

    I looked into it and this is definitely an error due to something in the revision process. So I'll get it fixed at least in the ebook. Also I verified that weird Nook "oth-" bug on my iPad. That is super funky. I've asked Tor to submit their own bug report to Barnes & Noble, because there's no reason it should be doing that. By the way, here are the other errors I already know about. Nearly all of these have been fixed in the ebook already. Some of them were already fixed in the UK hardcover. Page 4, page 8 Isaác is supposed to have an accent only the first time on page 8, as a joke. Page 19 paragraph 10 Current: her mother Navani could not Replacement: her mother, Navani, could not Page 25 paragraph 15 Current: even if meant returning to the feast. Replacement: even if it meant returning to the feast. Page 36 paragraph 6 Current: I’m going get a glimpse of Replacement: I’m going to get a glimpse of chapter5.html (ebook-only error) Current: “Though the Storm-father knows, Replacement: “Though the Stormfather knows, Page 99 paragraph 5 Current: and work up.” Replacement: and work up to him.” Page 142 paragraph 10 Current: this little strand of trees. Replacement: this little stand of trees. page 147 paragraph 10 Current: but the the sleeve was Replacement: but the sleeve was Page 650 paragraph 4 Current: operating a table, blood everywhere. Replacement: operating table, blood everywhere. Page 690 paragraph 16 Current: Gawk slunk around the corner. Replacement: Gawx slunk around the corner. Page 767 paragraph 13 Current: how the madman had acted to her Lightweaving Replacement: how the madman had reacted to her Lightweaving Page 827 (The US hardcover has the wrong version of this image.) Page 1058 paragraph 1 Current: lantern for her that was extravagant, considering Replacement: lantern for her—that was extravagant, considering

    Shinovar does have mountains on the west too. But I don't know how much shelter they'll give.
  24. PeterAhlstrom
    Wut. Brandon wasn't supposed to be writing that yet.
  25. PeterAhlstrom
    It's not that the glyphs use Thaylen graphemes. It's that they ultimately derive from the same source.
