Greetings unto Master Rory mac Feidhlimidh, Dragon, Lady Phebe Bonadeci, Rouge Scarpe, and the commenting members of the Midrealm College of Heralds; from Lady Ana Linch, Escutcheon Herald.

The client attached the copy of his letter from Kevin Ambrozijwski, Incanabula Pursuivant: "Master John has found Irish names with similair meanings. He states: <Sa toir ar lorg bhriongloid> means <the searcher for dreams>; see MacMathuna/O'Corrain (p. 100 & p. 275); could mean <one in search of a dream>.
Another try: <bhrionglaideach> (dreaming) -- see Dwelly
(p. 124); so, how about something like <Tha Aine
brionglaideach> (Aine is dreaming or Ann the dreamer) <Aine
an bhrionglaideach>
(Esct. Note: The name "Aine the DreamSeeker" was returned for lack of documentation in the Mar 'O5 and the device with it. I don't think this is much better.)
