Yes, weirdly. Severian reports that he says he was brought up by his
parents in what he called the normal way 'though actually it is rather
rare'. He may be lying, of course - unless he is a chemical person of
the _Long Sun_ kind - but even then, I think it would be easier for
him to invent if he had indeed been on Urth in his youth.
