I don't know whether this has been pointed out before, but it is a fact that
'Seawrack' and 'Scylla' are almost equal as names go. Or, at least, the name
misheard as 'Seawrack' could easily be a derivate of the name
misconstrued(?) as 'Scylla'.

Yes, I know I've been implying that the greek pronunciation of a name such
as Scylla would be something like ['skulla] 'SKOOL luh', but that was only
in the context of knowing the earthly etymology of 'typhoon' - the briahtic
etymology of the name translated as Scylla is quite another matter. And it's
not that I possess some special expertise on the issue, either, I was just
pointing out what I think linguists would say, because Wolfe is nothing if
not rigorous in his choices. And here I must go further even than James - I
think the convoluted history of the word is a *good* reason why Wolfe would
use it (rather than a small nuisance he might forgive).
