I was just about to ask what 'ferex' meant, as I saw it twice today while reading through your replies. Then it hit me. It means 'for example'. Is this your invention, or do others use it also?

It's a common internet coinage, which is where I picked it up. Like verbal lint...

I just finished reading "Penric and the Shaman." Thank you. I enjoy both Pen and Des very much. I did notice something that interests me though. Nowhere in either Penric story or "Hallowed Hunt" Is Chalion mentioned (that I can find), although some other countries like Ibra and Darthica are. Is this because Chalion was too obscure back then, or did Chalion actually not exist that much earlier than Cazaril's time?

In Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, where Morozov explains Ivan's relation to the Barrayaran throne*camp stool--can't puzzle out why Prince Xav wasn't next in line for the throne after Emperor Yuri, rather than going over to whatever branch led to Ezar? I know in the past it's been referenced that Salic descent was important for disqualifying Miles, but isn't that related to descent thru Olivia Vorbarra etc?
