These tales, undoubtedly exaggerated over the ages, tell of her breeding with the ghola Hayt and subsequent Duncan Idaho gholas, her plumed union with the young Leto n, and most imriguingly, her direct identification with or relation to tire Ixian production of Hwi Noree, the beloved of Leto II If HUT Nonee was the parthenogenetic duplicate of the child of Lady Margot Fenring and Feyd-Rautha Harkosnen, then she was an androgynous half of Hie union that the Bene Qessent had tried to create in Die late 10100s via Harkonnen and Atreides children. Hwi's attraction to Leto II may be explained as the fascination of meeting face-to-face an ancestor 3,600 years old. Of equal significance is the possibility that these genes had also been introduced into the last Duncan Idaho ghola, making Leto II's antagonist in die final days also a part of himself. Such a theory is highly conjectural, but it does rise the fascinating possibility mat the seemingly inviacible Leto H was confronting significant portions of himself in Hwi Noree and Duncan-the-Last. Contemporary rumors that Sister Quint i n ins Violet Chenoeh was a descendant of this daughter have no validity and should be discounted.

A small, tubular device used on Arrakis to help prevent loss of body moisture. Many examples have been uncovered in different sietches All are made of a spice-based compound, with silicon and orthatan added in varying proportions. There is a high correlation between the proportions of additives and the locations where the plugs were found; differences in composition appear to have been a matter of local preference Most filtplugs were about 25 mm long, with each branch of the Y-shaped device between 5 and 7 mm in diameter. The single outlet at the bottom fitted the upper end of a stillsuit's primary catchtube. Each upper branch of the Y slipped into one nostril The outside surface of the fitted ends was roughened slightly so the seal would be snug. The roughness caused sores at first, and eventually left calluses around the nostrils of constant users. The filtplug directed all the air exhaled from the lungs, with its moisture, into the still-suit's recovery system. FISH SPEAKERS 219 FISH SPEAKERS Rltplugs had screen filters of moderate mesh built into each of the Y branches They captured significant participates, keeping them from fouling the distillation apparatus If one filter clogged, the wearer could still exhale through one nostnl Filtplugs could be cleared in the field by pulling them from the nose and the catchtube and blowing backwards through the air passage Usually, however, both filter cleaning and the substitution of a new filtplug for a used one were earned out before leaving or after returning to the sietch FISH SPEAKERS.
