Desert melons?
Posted: 26 Mar 2013 17:41
Hi everyone, I read the Dune novels over 20 years ago and I loved them. I dimly remember that there was a reference (perhaps an insult?) to a desert melon that would give its water to anyone, I think the idea being that if you would give your precious water to anyone then you were weak and defenseless. If I have remembered this correctly and such a thing was actually mentioned, can anyone tell me if there was a Fremen word for this melon? I'd be very grateful. Many thanks Sam
