I prefer the former, though it may be in print less often.
Speaking of spelling, some of us have had discussions on the correct spelling of Babeester Gor (this spelling occurs often enough I'm convinced it's right). At Glorantha-Con V, Greg Stafford read from one of his new myths. He lost his place at one point and started a sentence over. One time it came out of his mouth as "Barbeester," the other as "Babeester."

Really? I assume you're not counting the fact that few and far between are the humans who have the opportunity to hunt and eat them.
Some Hsunchen (like the Damali) hunt and eat their totem animals; some (like the Telmori) don't.

Why wouldn't people use horses on the north coast? And probably mules, given the Issaries influence in earlier years.
Your list doesn't include domesticated cattle; this would suggest that none of the transplanted Umathelans came from Esrolia/Heortland or Ralia. (Which is quite possible -- Wenelia and Fronela are still possibilities for their origin.)

Dogs are just as much pack animals -- they just have a human pack. They probably see wolves as spurners of friendship.
