Hm, just going through my old mail... I wonder whether that house
belongs to two ladies called Kassiopeia and Penelope?

In Verdurian, <casi> /"kasi/ means "helmet (nom.sg.)" or "corner
(acc.pl.)"; <casî> /"kasI/ means "helmet (nom.pl.)" or "corner
(nom.pl.)".
In Barakhinei, <kasi> /"kasi/ means "helmet (nom./acc. sg.)".
In Cadhinor (ancestor of Verdurian and Barakhinei), <casi> means
"corner (acc.pl.)".
Cheers,
Philip
