The Song--how it worked and why it was lost--OGIERS ARE NOT ARTIFICIAL - Edit 2

ok, it is clear that my original post was poorly written. i'm taking an axe to the post.

I intended to convey that i dont think there are any words to remember. If it had words nobody would know the language--do we really expect someone to find magic words that do the trick?

The key is the participants.

There is a common denominator between the song's participants. The human, Ogier and Nym involved were beings whose nature focused on creation/life.

This common quality is important—it is relevant to what they are DOING with the song--they are making things GROW.

The importance of this quality (and the importance of human participation) is evidenced because the Song was lost when the Aiel stopped following the Way.

The fact that the Aiel majority forgot that they originally followed the way of the leaf lends weight to the fact that they also forgot their involvement in, and anything about, the Song.
