Inuus's name was there in your original remark.
Considering Wolfe's regard for linguistic rigor, I find an Inuus -> Inire
substitution quite unelegant.
Latin verbs were also not quoted in the infinitive, but the present S1, so
_ineo_ is how one refers to the verb.
_Inire_ may have been (was) used in copulating context, but that wasn't its
primary meaning, not any more than it is the primary meaning of english 'enter'.

For all the identification of Pas with Pan, I don't see what the similarity
between them is in the sexual regard. (Well, Typhon was naked when Severian
met him. But shrivelled, he says.)
