I was doing a re-read and noted that the Ring of Tamyrlin contained Amyrilin?  Was the T removed because it was masculine or ... ???

The leader of the Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends sat on the High Seat and was called "First Among Servants."

 

It stands to reason that the Ring of Tamyrlin became the Ring of the Tamyrlin (making Tamyrlin seem like the name of the office), which would later become Amyrlin.

 

It's basically a corruption of of Tamyrlin.

Tamyrlin was reputed to be the first channeler to conciously gain control of the power and wield it. It's unknown whether Tamyrlin was a man or a woman, but the ring was supposedly made by him/her, and was worn as a symbol of authority by the First Among Servants (the leaser of the Aes Sedai, as Ealdur so correctly points out).

 

From there Ealdur's probably right... Amyrlin is a corruption of a memory by women trying to prove their connection to the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends in a world full of supposedly 'fake' Aes Sedai.

Where did u find that information about the tamyrlin Luckers?

Direct from the lips of the creator... I believe at DragonCon 2004. I believe there was also some mention of it in one of the Q&A's he gave after the release of Winter's Heart, though i can't for the life of me find out which one.

How do you keep all of this information in your head?  Things just keep falling out of mine.  ???

I have a pensieve.

 

 

Oh my god... i can't believe i just made that joke. Somebody kill me!

Wow, how'd you get one? I tried searching on ebay, but there was only one auction, and it had already closed.

 

Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for that thing Neville had (can't remember what it was called).

Sweaty-hand disorder?

Don't be so hard on Neville.  Personally I thought he was gypped in the end.  I wanted to see him do in Belatrix.  It was a "remembral" that Neville had.  Of course, he did manage to forget where he put it.  Oh well...

I definately had to look that one up......I guess I need to become a Harry Potter fan?  here it is below?

 

The pensieve is described as a shallow stone bowl with strange carvings along its edges. The bowl is designed to hold thoughts, which in the Harry Potter books can be physically pulled from the head with a wand. Memories are a silvery cloudlike substance, which swirl around in the pensieve like constantly shifting water. If a memory is corrupted of tampered with, the silvery color will dull and the thought will move sluggishly, as Professor Slughorn's memory does during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Hey, he got to be herbology professor in the end, so that's a plus. :)
