Another thing I wanted to comment on is the scene in Urth where Sev looks up and Apheta is peering at him from Green.  I really need to take notes like I did for Short Sun for Urth of the New sun next time (I cross referenced every mention of tree, wind, chimney, etc for short sun back in 2001 or so)  Still not happy with the explanation for wind in the chimney.

I'm sure there's SOME cosmological hint there I simply have not been equipped to handle; I never paid enough attention to the hierogrammates and their tools.
