Okay, I was reading through Harlequin the other day and realised that I wasn't entirely sure what a certain word was. On the bright side it's going to be a quick thread to answer, but what is the asterisked word?
Full Version: A word in Harlequin's "Ritual"...

| From the focus of my heart I call the words Of anger spoken and desire revealed By my Challenge of word and deed By my blood consecrete thy bane invoked Thy shape and form decreed never was. On the Physical form, I call the words of rendering On thy Hates, I invoke Justice, thy anger unappeased On thy Past in shadows, I shine the light revelaed On thy Loves and joys, I gift separation On thy Spirit, I speak abandonment On thy Future, I bring fear and grief On thee I invoke all. The winds shall erase thy name The sands the traces of they path The sun the ********* of thy shadow And unto the waters I command thy essence Thy Shape and Form decreed never was. |
Thanks in advance.

coolness
9-letter word...any more clues, like what some of the letters in the word are?
How about a little more clarity, like which Harlequin book is it? What page?
As chance said, "The sun the coolness of thy shadow."
I have more or less the whole text under chal'han in my Sperethiel dictionary.

Two points for the fat kid.
Ka_Ge mislead us! "Coolness" has only 8 letters, but he clearly posted 9 asterisks.
Obviously, I'm very upset about this.

Maybe the word includes punctuation?
But the word "coolness" doesn't have any punctuation!
The sun, the coolness, of thy shadow
At least, that's how I'd write it.

But that's just not how it's punctuated in the quote.

well its written twice, once its typed out on page 127, ad then later on its done as a tag. The tag is alot harder to read
Do not encourage FanGirl to buy the book.
In the german version it says 'die Kühle Deines Schattens' which means 'the coolness of thy shadow'.
I vote for "coolness". Sans punctuation.

I laugh at you
It's not hard to read at all in my copy. You spill your coffee on it or something?

Yes it does it's COOLNESS! really loud. See, you just have to scream it and it makes sense.
My copy of Harlequin is buried under it's companion SR books, but if I had a page number, I can help.....

Beg pardon? You told me I could read any book that came before System Failure. Why this new restriction, and why didn't I learn of it until just now?
I didn't think you'd know of the book... And what book might you be talking about?
Harlequin, of course. That's the one that everyone is talking about here, right?
Isn't it a romance novel?

What a very odd post.

Harlequin's Back is romance.
Harlequin is a sordid tale of lust and vengence.
It was a joke
