The lias fàil in Irish mythology

Just out of interest, the personal name Lias has occured more than once for Trolls in the Discworld. This suggests TP is aware of the Irish myth and that the Gaelic word "lias" simply means "stone", and is therefore a valid prenomen for trolls of a more "Hibernian" disposition? No doubt more will be explained in the forthcoming The Folklore of Discworld.--AgProv 08:32, 5 September 2008 (UTC)



The Thing and the Whole of the Thing

I thought that was the actual quote...not "the thing, the whole thing, and nothing but the thing"?

I think (whoever wrote the above) is right. Hapenny 21:39, 17 April 2012 (CEST)
