Hmm, It's so entirely alien to me that it conveys no meaning at all..

In Greg's mail he mentions the dropped concept of an "etheric double" and it strikes me that "Etheric Double" or "Etheric Part" might be more readily recognisable without being confused for a specific otherworld part (hang on - whaqt's wrong with "otherworld part" or "otherworld portion"?)
