[Facts] A-ha!
So, as with the name "Aslan", C.S. Lewis created another character's name from an actual word taken from a foreign language.And, though the word is Greek, there's still the Arab connection for the Calormenes!Oh, and Aravis is aptly named, after the short-barreled rifle. Coz in the story she shoots off comments like bullets.-- Nanaea
