--Well, someone named Camille Meesh (sp.?) has informed me that the word "umbelliferous" means "umbrella bearing", and thus has no actual connection with the Umbra.

I ask you: does that make any sense?

AFTER ALL, isn't the Umbrist group-blog entitled, "Umbrella"??????????????
Can you think of any phrase, any phrase at all, that makes a better "kenning" for Umbrism, than "The Umbelliferous Dark"?

"Come in, she said, I'll give you/ Shelter from the storm."

A fellow named Zimmerman wrote that.
