1 Oversleep Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 None. IIRC Aon Ati was actually made so that "Matisse" (which Hope of Elantris is tribute to) could be an Aonic name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +hwiles Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Correct; Sanderson is pretty good about identifying situations in the Cosmere where words/names are similar strictly by coincidence, and this is one of those times. Recall, the planets all have different languages and alphabets, so while we read everything with the same letters most characters in the Cosmere wouldn't. When words that have multi-world significance are spoken in-book, it's usually by worldhoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
