The Jinmoti of Bozlen Two. What does it refer to? (Culture)

Post by fusion »

Yes, that is my question, in the title: What does The Jinmoti of Bozlen Two refer to? I personally thought that it refers to Horza... However, my friend believes that it refers to the type of ritual assassin on that planet in Consider Phlebas ...

If anyone can answer that question thanks....

It's a line from a story in Horzas dead girlfriends favourite book of fairytales.
It doesn't refer to anything or anyone in Consider Phlebas.
So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

I havent read it in a while, but I took it to be something akin to a jabberwocky.
