Well, since they look like *snails* instead of male anatomy
parts to *me*, I refer to 'em as Phalons or 'snails'. I think
they have another name for themselves (don't have my FB2 with
me right now) as the Kra'Vak do, so referring to them by their
GZG given names would seem to work (Los did this in his Rot Hafen
online sage with the Kra'Vak; seemed to work okay there)
