[[Kutya]]'lot or [[kutyalot]] seems to be a modified form of kutya. It is not fully clear what function the -lot suffix has. [[Nushnya]] seems to be a modified form of [[nush]], meaning something like "deeply".

The ''no'' in kutya'no seems to be "but", and we see a unique instance of the [[ninte]]/[[ninto]] possessive being truncated to nint (versus nin, ni).

Here, sedainin al'aes seems to be the full and literal plural of [[Aes Sedai]]; as in its original literal meaning rather than as a symbolic title. [[Sedainin]] is "servants", al'aes "of all".
Here, sedainin seems to be a participle meaning "serving" or "service".
