When I looked up material on Uleria in the
Library of Londarios, I noticed that the old RuneQuest
version of the Uleria cult text contains a line that
reads,
"Most stories about the goddess are sensual and
_chotic_."
I have tried to discern the meaning of "chotic"... It does not seem to exist as an English adjective, I looked it up in all my dictionaries as well as online, in Merriam-Webster and elsewhere. Most sources suggest it is a misspelling of "chaotic" or "choric" or "cholic".
What is it?
Chaotic: hardly seems reasonable, as Ulerians are
decidedly opposed to all things Chaos.
Maybe the original text still said "chaotic", but
referred to "confused, haphazard, fragmentary",
but not to the Gloranthan "Chaos" things.
"Choric" doesn't quite make sense in this context,
as the passage does not talk about church choirs.
"Cholic" ... as in "relating to bile"? Hardly.
Could you native speakers help me out with this?
