Not a Shadow Cat, nor yet a me (an unlikely comparison, especially with respect to SIZ and DEX), but a Julian, I do believe.

As has been pointed out (nay, discussed, if not to say, debated) on this list before, this isn't even an adequate definition of "species" in the RW, much less in Glorantha. Not just semantics, quite, but distinctly "soft" science (in the RW, perhaps "soft God Learnerism" in Glorantha).
Besides, have you carried out the necessary experiments, for all possible permutations? ;-) [Wareran x X seems pretty reliable, mind you...]

Nils is indeed right about the Teleosans (same source, B1, p9), but what exactly does G:G have to say about the Vadeli being Wareran (and indeed, where does it say it)? All I found was that their language is Western, and that they're included out of the list of Noted Exceptions to the Big Four races, which may be indications, I'll warrant.
