For the longest time, I assumed (as did most GLP fans) that this unpublished comic was an image of a kolkesplir. The kolkesplirren array themselves in seasonal colors, in greenish hues called tindulmoss in the spring and summer, and in reddish hues called firruberry in the fall and winter.
Then one day, I found an entry written by Yost in the Black Oxford Notebook:
“Alice’s mask design for Tilleena Ontin Bahjee – is the green form kindred to the Egyptian goddess Wadjet??? The red form to Sekhmet??? Her name comes from the Second House, meaning Ocean-Eyed Grandmother. She is often depicted with eight eyes, one pair floating free of the body.”
