In my own private Glorantha, "arkat" became the word for "liberator" in the
theyalean language of the west orlanthi (ralians), wheras in Maniria &
Peloria it transformed itself into "argrath". So that this wily Garrath
Swordsharp guy very astutely saw the word-play he could do with his name &
exploited it to the max !
