And you know for a certainty it is Mucor speaking at that point, that there is no subconscious bit of Mamelta influencing her?  Remember that she told Silk that she is saving herself for the man she'll marry when they met in person.

"'We'll be lovers,' the woman told him loudly, her voice breaking at the penultimate syllable.  Her hair was as black as Hyacinth's, her eyes a startling blue deeper than Silk's own." (litany 454).

Is it clear that it is completely 100% Mucor speaking here?  Your rational explanation is fine, but as I said, it ignores the consistency of the dreams which equate mamelta with kypris with mother, where her eyes are compared to Silk's, where her first words evoke the goddess of love, where you ignore the idea that the monarch wants a son to succeed him and Kypris shows Pas with Silk seated at the right head of the father.

So you refuse to allow that the words Mamelta says have ANY chance of coming from Mamelta?    No chance at all?  None?  I'm not talking about cloning.  I'm talking about a simple symbolic resonance that in your mind comes down to anorexia?  Just remember that Kypris and Silk do become lovers through Hyacinth.

Is that word consistent with mucor?  Listen to this, when Silk first meets her: "I'm saving myself for the man I'll marry." (p 100 litany, Mucor speaking.)
