Patrick,

Thanks for the first question!  (I suspect Gene Wolfe might answer
this question as worded by just mentioning the Bible bits that "Oreb"
is mentioned in; or he might say "Hebrew for `Raven'"; etc.  But
maybe not--he could very well tell us something about the bird from
Palustria.  In any case, if you'd like to further refine the question,
you've got a few days to do it in.)

Now are you going to come up with a disarming Vironese nickname or am
I just going to introduce you as "That guy, you know, you said
`=That= guy,' remember?"? <g>
