Huginn actually, thought and memory respectively
you can remember because it's Thought and MEmory, and Muninn and Memory are Ems
According to legend they flew around and told Odin everything but telling requires vocalization; they TOLD Odin so thus they vocalized, but chitanous beaks don't lend well to forming syllabic speech. Why would Odin have birds that would have trouble vocalizing the days events at a respectable rate when obviously flying squirrels with disproportionately large wings would be much better for the job as they'd be able to ride thermal currents and the jet steam and they chitter really fast; once you teach them language they'd totally kick a raven's butt in the realm of relaying news words words words

Yeah, glad I voted for the right one. Part of the psychic ability, you know.
Now we just wait for Mu-Nan to say, "Ozymandias, meet your grandfather, Locke..."
"Eh???"

Why would the spelling of the names matter so much when they belonged to a people who, to the best of my knowledge, communicated only vocally and never wrote anything down?
Not to mention the language they eventually procured has some strangely accented letters not even found in the language via which we are currently conversing...
This subject amuses me greatly.
Oh... and I figure Mu-nan probably isn't Ozy's biological father, but is deliberately set up to look like he should be.
I just figure we can rely upon the Simp's love of irony to fix this little matter.

I thought about that, but I kind of have the feeling that DCS is trying to move forward to something else he wants to get done. Or maybe it's more about their reaction to the revelation than the revelation itself.

The spelling is one of the standard ones I've seen (the other kind has just one 'n'). It's a convenience. Kinda like how when writing Chinese names in English, you usually end up with several differing spellings but some become more standard than others.Why would the spelling of the names matter so much when they belonged to a people who, to the best of my knowledge, communicated only vocally and never wrote anything down?

Tai is also making a swipe at me, regarding the inability of birds at producing speech, because Muninn is the username I have on IRC (though I'm pretty sure you were unaware of this).
Fair enough. Standardisation is how languages come about, and for names that I don't hear often it isn't surprising that I wouldn't be aware of the standards.The spelling is one of the standard ones I've seen (the other kind has just one 'n').

And no, I wasn't aware you used that name... but now I am. Fair enough. ^_^
In any case... we may receive more solid confirmation or denial of Mu-Nan's nature tomorrow.... or possibly we could just end up waiting longer without knowing for sure.
I still remain fairly certain that irony has to play a part... if for no better reason than to be contrary.
