*nods* I think it's the influence of the man rune as
well. Glorantha also compares well with (ahem)
Aristotle's original taxonomy of "animals" (living
things that move) and "plants" (living things that
don't move). Add plant+man together and you get a
plant-thing that moves.

LOL! Of course, unless Azhur does develop some
horticulture or similar skill he'll be operating from
a base of 6 to work out the significance...

Does remind me, I'd better start posting what
year/season/day it is as well...
