Linguistic Asides

I have decided to dub Takadox "Lucifer." The name is Latin, meaning "light-bearer," but is associated with evilness and malignance – and Takadox uses light, but is evil. Even further aside, Lucifer was a Roman mythological figure bearing a torch, associated with the morning star and the planet Venus, as the herald of dawn and so the bringer of light – the literal meaning of Lucifer, from lux, light, and ferre, to bring. Just to add more confusion by associating a male figure with a planet now bearing the name of a female.
"... clamavit uxor e cubiculo excurrens."
Leigh Ann: " '... exclaimed the wife, running out of her cubicle.' "
