Notes
Ether 13:17 is particularly confusing, as it relates to a time period well after the life of Corihor (or any of the Cohors). It might refer to a Corihor contemporary with Coriantumr, or a faction stylizing itself as the children of Corihor, or actual descendants of Corihor. (Though, this seems unlikely given the population crunch that occurs during the days of Omer.)
