I think there's still a tiny bit of miscommunication going on somewhere. Zhon, I'm fairly sure Suttree knows how the a'dam works. What he said he didn't understand, was 0rion's original question;

How you think Tuon gave to Joline a pain through the a'dam or here was something other?

And I didn't really get it at first, either, but I think it's a matter of punctuation. I believe what they were trying to ask is; How do you think Tuon gave to Joline pain; through the a'dam or some other means?

And the answer would be, through the a'dam.

And I Walk With Them - My Dying Bride

Now, this is actually ridiculously catchy...

Outside Down - Graveworm

Elysian Night - Draconian

Two Winters Only - My Dying Bride

About halfway through The Way of Kings, currently, and more than a little frustrated with most of the characters... x)
