Ankles

[dEVabox]

People in this age honestly must have problems with their feet or something. I am at the part where Perrin is about to save Galad from trollocs in ToM, and Galad just twisted his ankle. I swear the in the past two books there were 3-4 people who did the same thing. Just saying.

According to Ideal seek, the word 'ankle' wasn't used at all in TGS, all of its uses in KoD had nothing to do with twisted ones, and there's only this instance of someone twisting theirs in ToM. Are you sure there have been other examples?

I could have sworn i saw ankle in the gathering storm.... must have been mistaken.

either way a twisted ankle is pretty common in any battle, even modern ones.

I am pretty sure there were some more, now I'll have to research! It might be important for the Last Battle! Maybe Rand will twist the DO's ankle...

I knew I wasn't crazy...

 

ToM:

" She breathed in and out, trembling. But she had to see. She had to know. She rose to her feet, left ankle twisted. She hobbled to the treeline and looked down."

 

ToM:

"Galad rolled, sword twisted to the side, but he had landed wrong. His ankle wrenched in pain."

 

TGS:

"Each name was like a thorn through Egwene’s skin. Dagdara Finchey, who had healed Egwene once when she’d stumbled and twisted her ankle."

Strange how Ideal Seek doesn't have it showing for TGS. Either way I don't think there is anything excessive or odd about this...
