Usage examples of lowan.
Before sunrise three mornings earlier, Lowan had killed a possum with a pouchful of babies.
At nearly the same moment that Lowan made his move, another man, George maybe, must have taken a two-handed swipe at the Philadelphia boy and buried the hatchet head deep at the junction of his neck and shoulder.
And she struck Lowan with a switch, and spun down the slope of the hill between the trees like a forester-doe with the hunter-hound behind her.
Then again, what if she came up against Lussatte, who was also not her equal as a pilot but was not the blemish Lowan was?
Most of the lowans reported a continuous bright light that changed color from blue to orange and took about three minutes to pass overhead.
