--- Quote from: Somnambulist on August 16, 2017, 04:34:10 pm ---My impression:
(click to show/hide)I always thought (though it doesn't specifically say) that he lost his fingers as a result of sranc attacks.  I think it's mentioned his hand had scars, which wouldn't be the case if it was congenital.  Second, just before he exits the narrative, as the skinspy is chasing him, he feels fury.  I think his defect was emotion, or too much of it according to the Dunyain, anyway.  That was my take.

What I understood from TGO was very much the same, though I wonder
(click to show/hide)why/how he was considered to be defective so young, since apparently he was an infant (per Koringhus' recollections) at the time Ishuäl was attacked. Seems a bit premature to label a child as too tainted by emotion...

(click to show/hide)I think I mentioned this in another thread some time ago, but couldn't say which one it was.  My take was that, after two thousand years of eugenics, they know what to look for.  Also, as Esme recounts the births of her children, she's able to deduce pretty much right away if they were more Dunyain or more human.  I don't see why the Dunyain wouldn't be able to tell quickly one way or the other.

(click to show/hide)I was going to agree with Thelli but I do think Somnambulist makes a good point as well.

I suppose that's possible, yes, hadn't really thought of it that way. :)

Entirely unintentional. Also, thanks for the edit.
