	The scheme sorts people by what they are made of and what they are therefore capable of receiving: matter only at the bottom, and above it two further conditions the wiki has never named, discussed or filed. Our [[Hylics]] entry describes people with no spirit left in them, which is the bottom category doing exactly the work it does in the original — and then stops, because we never took the rest. {{R\|contested}}		The scheme sorts people by what they are made of and what they are therefore capable of receiving: matter only at the bottom, and above it two further conditions the wiki has never named, discussed or filed.

	What ~~that omission did to this~~ wiki ~~is not small~~:		What the wiki inherits from taking one term of three:

	* We have a word for '''the severed''' and no word for anything above it. Every distinction we can draw is between hollow and not-hollow, which is one bit of information about a scheme that carried more.		* We have a word for '''the severed''' and no word for anything above it.

+That is the whole of the inherited entry and it is probably accurate, though the wiki has never been able to say which one, how the relationship works, or whether ''a part of'' means a faction, a lineage, a tendency or a name that two bodies both use. See [[Elder Cults]], where the same problem is general. {{R|contested}}
