Means 'monkey-fuckers.' See #Shenera Endraae.

Belonging
The Laws of Belonging state that a Child Belongs to its Mother; a Student Belongs to its Mentor, and then the Adult Belongs to itself. Belonging is a state in which you owe obedience to the one who Owns you; Ownership is a state in which complete responsibility for those you Own is given to you.
The Word for “belonging” and “responsibility” are different inclinations of the same symbol and sound in the Old Tongue, a fact overlooked by many students at Addergoole.
Blindness of the Gods
An effect that makes humans ignore/not see Ellehemaei strangeness, even when it is in plain sight without masks.
He stepped back from the carnage as a sinkhole began to form under the largest of the monstrous enemy corpses – thirty feel long, and as big around as he was tall, looking and smelling of old vomit, and soon devoured whole by the growing sinkhole. By the time he reached the boss of this crew of itinerate biker so'jers, all evidence of the bloody fight had been swallowed by the ground, leaving a soft mound of bare earth, a perfect circle in the middle of the wheat field.
He nodded approvingly. It was good that most of the so'jers still kept to the old ways, and didn't rely too heavily on the Blindness of the Gods. A bare patch would cause commentary, yes, but not as much as a stack of corpses.
The boss seemed to read his thoughts. "Some of us still remember," he said solemnly, though the girl on his arm giggled. He held out his hand – as dirty as Aelfgar's own. "It's been an honor fighting with you."

Cohort
