What is "aramina"

Usage examples of "aramina".

The Girl Who Heard Dragons Aramina was aroused by the urgency of her parents' voices: Dowell's a fierce whisper of persuasion and her mother's a fearful rejoinder.

Straining her ears to pick up only her parents' words, Aramina ignored the myriad nocturnal noises of the enormous Igen cavern that sheltered some of the hundreds of holdless folk on Pern.

When Dowell touched Aramina's shoulder, she swallowed against her fear.

Aramina had been fascinated, and obliquely repelled by Giron, Thella's second-in-command, the dragonless man who had scrutinized her so intently that Aramina had been hard put not to squirm under his cold and empty eyes.

Thella had hinted at concessions for Aramina's family, perhaps even a hold, though Aramina was not so stupid as to contest that possibility, even as Thella offered the bait.

Indeed, Nexa merely draped herself sleepily across Aramina's bony young shoulder and snuggled into the supporting blanket without rousing from her deep slumber.

For the first time Aramina regretted that her father's skill with woods had purchased for his family a partially secluded alcove toward the rear of the great Igen cavern.

Frequently Aramina had to shift Nexa in the journey down the sands to the river, sinking occasionally into old refuse holes and trying not to trip over debris.

Neither had approached Aramina, for which she had been grateful, but perhaps Thella had alarmed Dowell.

Whatever the reason, Aramina was grateful on many counts to be away from the brawling, odorous, overcrowded cavern.

Since Aramina heard dragons and could give warning of the imminence of Threadfall, the family could travel with some impunity.

Barla climbed into the rear of the hide-covered wagon, took the sleeping Nexa from Aramina, the bundle from Pell, and gestured the children to the fore where Dowell was untying ring reins from the tether stone.

Despite the hour and the circumstances of their departure, Aramina felt a tremendous relief as they moved off.

Her acrimony was therefore the more memorable, and Aramina, as well as her surviving brother and sister, knew Fax as the villain, despoiler, and tyrant, possessed of no single redeeming virtue.

Although Barla would never be specific about that, of late Aramina was beginning to get glimmerings, now that she had become a woman.
