Either way, I have a little difficulty with bloodwaterheart. I'm sure
somewhere somebody wrote that word and everybody grokked it and thought it
was SOOOOOO cool that nobody ever had to explain it again, but somehow I
missed the reference. I read the original as, "As soon as I arrive at the
other side (or another side) the bloodwaterheart won't forget me, your
honor." It sounds heavily symbolic, and I do not understand the symbols.
Please let me in on it. As yet, it is not serving the primary function of
language: creating a thought in my mind roughly matching that in the mind of
the source of the words. The thought in MY mind approaches more closely:
"Huh?"
