*ponders* You might have something there - the one is so recent with newness in my recollections and the other less so so my own perspective (of course) biases. On some reflection, I hadn't really considered the naming of things within the text. Which is .... odd.
On a wholly (mostly) unrelated note: when you read the original three Wraeththu books, did you get the sense that the Har renamed everything (as is stated in the latter books?) or, like me, did you think the names were simply to show how far in the future it was?
