I've thought about that, too. But, if the Earth didn't have the moon, we'd
probably have 10 hour days, very high winds, all sorts of "unearthly"
weather, and probably far far more meteor craters. Though, perhaps Jupiter
would have been enough to filter out the meteors.

Part of my purpose in creating Terjemar (& Kelen) is to play with stretching
what we have just enough to where it stops being normal, but not to throw it
out entirely and be weird on purpose. (Not that there's anything wrong with
that, it's just not what I want to do.)(Well, okay, Kelen deliberately
doesn't have verbs, but beyond that it's relatively "normal".)

Anyway, extra high tides would be a good reason for all my Keleni to live
inland, though I suppose that with enough mass, any lunar system could
noticeably effect lakes and rivers, too.
