[edit] meaning of the title

Capillaria is a distinct novel, with a different topic. Science, nature etc are not discussed (or mentioned only slightly), the novel's main topic is the coexistence of men and women. The title has no meaning in Hungarian (and I suppose, neither in English or in Esperanto). In Hungarian, the most similar word it may associate with is “capillar”, but I do not know why: I have not found yet anything related to capillars in the novel.

[edit] The title given in the article
The title given in the article is Voyage to Faremido Capillaria instead of Capillaria. The sentence (and footnote) explaining the relation between the two novels could be copied from Voyage to Faremido and slightly rewritten to match the context here. A section on Voyage to Faremido isn't really necessary because the two novels are essentially unrelated. --Jtir 16:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
