Kathy You're right.
Clark might *think* he can resist Lois (he can't), but a *family* is going to be harder to walk away from - particularly as this Clark lost M&J when he was a child.
On a different matter altogether. I notice you're from Indiana. My friend recently had a baby called Indie Anna.
John The essence of your speculation is right; the reasons, though, aren't right.
Virginia Oh, look, he must be Lois's son. Already obsessed with the space man.
"Laka" must mean spouse. Darn, the lie is something else.
Sol = Son
Moa = Daughter
Did I understand this correctly?
Laka does actually mean 'pledge' in Lingala, although it isn't used as a name referencing marital status (to my knowledge).
I couldn't find Lingala words for either son or daughter, so Sol and Moa are my inventions. Sol=Sun ... get it? :p
QofA Good deductions!
Overall, the Bangala naming system is an interesting one, but the nature of it seems to erase all past relationships.
You make a good point. We have a similar custom when a woman marries and takes her husband's surname. However, as you pointed out, this is much more fluid and could happen several times.
Kate A perfect son for Clark, and a good lesson. Diddi and Lois are so different, but they belong together.
This is the main reason why I made Diddi Lois's adopted son. They are so different, but they fit together perfectly. And, as you said, it's a lesson for Clark.
SJH I dont know enough about how Lois was found, and what went down to insure her safty. Something has.
Yep.
Andreia You're doing well with realising that the Lois/Matymbou relationship is not like a usual Western marriage. You're not doing so well with the rest of it. Thanks for your thoughts, though.
Thanks to everyone for the comments.
Corrina.
