On the issue of the second inutteral, from TTT p.380:
I always think of the soul as possessing a sort of thin boundary between the Outside and the mundane, with utterals and inutterals acting as varying sorts of portals set on either side of the boundary.
Quote
With three voices he sang, one utteral pitched to the world and two inutterals directed to the ground. What had been an ancient Cant of Calling became something far, far more...A Cant of Transposing.So it's not about refining the purity (although surely that sort of thing is possible), but about creating a new meaning entirely.
