==Trivia==
Steven Erikson says the Tiste language "was made up as we went along. Sometimes we invented meanings for names when they suited the scene (and then, like an idiot, I'd not even make a note of it — Cam, I think, was/is better at making notes)." He advises fans not to spend any time looking too deeply into the language's meanings or constructions.Ask Steven Erikson Your Toll the Hounds Questions! - See answer to question #36
