Another story, another obscure word that everybody seems to pronounce differently. Once again I went to my physical dictionary from 1984 and went with that. The word? Eridanus.

Cingalese is an old spelling of Sinhalese, who are a people native to what was at the time of the writing of this story known as Ceylon, which is today known as Sri Lanka.

The pictures used are:

Chapter 1: Photo of 55 Mount Vernon St, Boston, MA, by John Phelan, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en). Technically this is the Nichols House Museum, but it is on Mount Vernon Street close to Joy, in the heart of the Beacon Hill district, so it would be very much like what you could expect the fictional Cabot Museum of Archaeology to look like.

Chapter 2: Ghatanothoa, by Patrick Phipps, at the Domy Monster Show 2007 used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/).

Chapter 3: The Bridewell translation of von Juntz's book, not the Golden Goblin Press edition. Oh well, it's hard enough to find any sort of pictures of it, so beggars can't be choosers.

Chapter 4: Screaming mummy, intended to reflect to mummy of T'Yog.

Chapter 5: "Scary mummy" by Nyall & Maryanne, under here the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/). Think of it as the petrified mummy of the one intruder.
