Talarian has weytam (to know), weytinam (to be
thoroughly familiar with) and palemam (to
reveal).

The latter two, in different ways, answer your
question. Philosophers like these kinds of runes:
A disciple said, 'Master I know (weytinam)
myself.' The Master said, 'Thou knows (weytinam)
thyself? Now, know (palemam) thyself!'

In Telerani spiritual parlance, palemam is
"reveal to yourself who you are"; because who you
think you are is really no more than what you
think everyone else expects to see. As we live,
we come to think that this shadow is in fact Us;
but it's not really. You might think on it as a
kind of "finding yourself"; it's a matter of
taking off the mask and funny hat and finding out
what's behind it all.

Padraic.
