Twins.
Twins in ourLang are lovers in the mud. Sophos herself is a twin being. Sophos is described by Herr Traurig as 'a bright star from far away, blinding up close. But closer, you see that Sophos is two stars in orbit. The two stars are identical, except that one is slightly brighter than the other. But to the lesser star, the incremental brightness of his twin is an infinite measure. He orbits his twin so fiercely, searching for her extra brightness, that he spins the threads of her knowledge into a fiercesome Rose.'
