Notes

Related to syndon (birth). The word is spoken in the show, in season 1 episode 8 by Latra Posae Decume, addressing Lews Therin Telamon (she calls him “Aman Syndai”, “Dragon Reborn”, also the name of a song in the soundtrack). However, grammatically, it is not clear that the word is specific to “rebirth” as opposed to birth. In the WoT universe, because of its cyclical nature, every birth is also a rebirth, so it makes sense that this distinction is not made in the language.
