'How do you call among you that that wheezing sound your dicks make when you jack off?' Paul asked remembering the time he walked in on Farok masturbating at Tuono basin. He illustrated with one hand. A chuckle sounded through the troop. 'We call that one Honk'Oof" said Stilgar. 'I am Atreides,' Paul whispered, and then louder: 'It is not right that I give up entirely the name my father gave me. Could I be known among you as Paul-Honk'Oof?'

How much of the fremen ecological project do you think is dedicated to growing coffee - or do they just import enough for millions of people without anyone noticing?

I always liked that even the fremen weren't able to live without coffee. Relatable. I guess it's just full blown speculation, but yeah large scale coffee growing on arrakis seems questionable. Given the size of the imperium and the amount of spice bribes the guild is getting, I would more readily buy coffee for a few million people falling off the back of a heighliner

I had always thought their coffee was actually brewed with spice instead of coffee bean grounds. Giving a kind of cinnamon-y brew with similar perky effects and also the occasional prescient vision.

At a kerjillion solarii per microgram, I'm certain there is a healthy and sizeable underground spice market. Maybe not spelled out so much in Dunc, but in the book & Dune 1984 it seemed like the Spacing Guild looked the other way on just about anything as long as the spice flowed. So yeah they could afford to get some sort of weird future space-cat-poo poo coffee to mix with their wormpoop hash and really just go nuts

I did a quick ctrl-f through a dune.txt that I found a while back, and it's mostly "spice coffee", which is ambiguous. Except one time when Jessica's coffee is "spiced coffee", so I guess it's just the good ol' black stuff with a sprinkling of

It's not the cost that's an issue, the fremen are absolutely minted. It's shipping in coffee for ten million plus fremen on a planet with a supposed population of 500,000 or w/e - although I just looked it up and apparently there are ~5 million non-fremen people on Arrakis. So not that extreme. Also I hate that Arrakeen is the name of a city. Welcome to the city of French, France - we do lot of trade with Spanish in Spain.

The city wasn't called "Roman" or "Romanus" though. It's being an adjective which makes it so weird.

So not that extreme. By the time of the books, the fremen are well on their way with the ecological transformation of Arrakis. I can't remember if the appendices list some info on it, but Kynes is the second generation of planetologist on it, so we can assume a good five decades or more of work. They have palmaries and other plantation stuff on the southern hemisphere, and bribe the guild to go all "Ah no, impossible to put satellites around the most important planet in the empire, too much... sand...... static??" so no one really knows about it.

Paris was “Lutetia Parisiorum” to the Romans, “Lutetia of the Parisii”, then became “Parision” then just Paris. Very common pattern all across Gaul actually because of how it was organized into cities for administrative purposes post-Roman conquest. Trier was formerly “Augusta of the Treverii”, Angers was “city of the Andecavi” etc. We can similarly hypothesize that Arrakeen is just the slightly degenerate common name of (City/port of the) Arrakeen (people).

Who were the guys they used for that Sardakur blood ritual? Prisoners? Volunteers? Seems like the rain would really dilute the hell out of the blood though.

It's a prison planet. Was the former capital but the environment went to hell so they just turned it into a hell-prison. Because it's a hell world they also think it's a great army training world too.

I like that in Dune the two ways to get a really good army are 1) Raise them on a hell planet that sucks and recruit the survivors (Sardarkaur and Fremen) or 2) treat people mostly fairly and then train and equip them well

Dunc thoughts- Yueh could've just gone to Jessica and 'betrayed' himself. Leto is honorable; they could've set a trap for the Harkonenns. The whole setup is so Yueh can murder the Baron to get revenge for his wife Did he think he needed permission to do that? Or did he think Leto would gently caress it up? yes, Yueh was specifically looking for release for Wanna, and I suppose if they somehow entrapped the Baron then maybe that wouldn't have happened. However it seems like Yueh is all but confirmed that she's dead anyway, and betraying himself to Jessica would both enable his plan and allow Imperial conditioning to remain intact
