I'm "resurrecting" this topic because there are a couple of things I wanted to add to this discussion (and keep forgetting to...).
On Cimoira: she has been discussed quite a bit over the years, I suppose, but there's something that I've never seen brought up (might be I haven't found the right threads).
Both "Cûno-Inchoroi Wars" entries in the TTT and TUC glossaries state that (bolding mine):
Apparently Sirwitta had seduced the wife of a high-ranking Ishroi and conceived by her a daughter named Cimoira. The Judges of the Ishroi were perplexed: such a thing had never happened before. The truth of Cimoira was suppressed, and despite her mannish blood she was accepted as Cûnuroi.
Which means that Cimoira would
not have been obviously identified as a hybrid by her appearance alone. She had a close enough resemblance to any full-blooded Cûnuroi female that no one would know the truth about her ancestry without already being aware of it (or being told of it).
This raises interesting questions regarding the other known Cûnuroi/Halaroi hybrid, Anasûrimbor Sanna-Jephera. Did the fact that Sanna-Jephera's Cûnoroi parent was his father rather than his mother influence his appearance? (that does happen in nature with animal hybrids) Or did he, like Cimoira before him, looked enough like a Nonman to pass for one? It certainly makes me wonder how well he would have been accepted as his grandfather's successor once Sanna-Neorjë had died. Let us consider: he was a) illegitimate, b) born of rape, c) not fully human, d) a descendant from the female line. All factors that could have a strong impact in how well he was accepted as a lord (seeing as the Anasûrimbor were not yet kings at this time?). Add to all of this the fact that he did not even
look human, and well...there's definitely a story there that I wish we could know.
The other thing: in the link to the Bakker AMA of April 2017 I posted at the beginning in this thread, Bakker says:
But the big thing is that Nonmen tend to look at humans as clever forms of wildlife, and congress with them as bestiality.
Not all of them, apparently!
From chapter 11 of TJE, Achamian tells the Skin Eaters (and Mimara) about the different versions of the story of Nostol:
In the second, Nostol himself seduced Weyukat, whom the Nonman King prized above all his other concubines, since she had twice carried his seed to pregnancy, if not to term-among few human women ever to do so.
So we do in fact have evidence of other hybrids (assuming there is at least
some truth to this story), just non-viable ones. Apparently, Gin'yursis was not above considering the "breeding with humans" option, despite what Bakker had to say (again, this depends on the truth of this tale). An interesting tidbit nonetheless...
