query about palm leaf manuscripts <fwd>

[Doug Cooper]

Somebody may be interested in handling this query from
young Shadow, as well as joining me in speculating on
a) his/her gender, and b) the names of his/her siblings, if any.

   I've put the image, which is rather clear (albeit sideways),
on line at http://seasrc.th.net/temp/palm.jpg
