That's funny because I always thought that Vivamort was a French pun on "La vie et la mort" - life and death. That, and the burnt out Monkey Ruins (Ruin de Singe) were the only contributions of French punning to the world of Glorantha that I am aware of. The northern tribe of ice hockey playing ducks has never been discovered as far as I know (Canarda).

Just for the record, Sans Souffle doesn't sound scary in English, it sounds as if someone hasn't got their dessert.
