Well, I suppose that could be true, but it would be Porta
who did the mistranslation then. He was the one who
translated his own work from the Latin. It could also be
his misreading of Aelin in combination. Your guess on
that part is probably close and one I would guess as well.

Even a mere confirmation of my suspicions is well worth it.
If you do check the citations, then I'd be thankful, but if you don't,
no worries. I can voice the concerns in the class (which won't
be until October anyway). Regardless, Lion or Locust is still in
*my* "icky things" list. :)

Thanks bunches,
