uni-link — an all-purpose, multi-function device. It combines the functions of timepiece, communicator, GPS navigator, data net interface, data storage device, and emergency locator beacon. Although it is commonly worn as a wrist bracelet, it also comes in pocket versions, which tend to be larger and even more capable.
wave-crester — Silver and brown bird analogs on the planet Manticore. The equivalent of Old Earth’s seagulls.
white root— treecat name for ice potatoes.
Wildlife Management Service (WMS) — Meyerdahl equivalent of the Sphinx Forestry Service.
wood rat — a Sphinxian rodent-like, marsupial arboreal, about a third the size of a treecat. They are small and fast-moving creatures which live primarily on the bark and leaves of the crown oak, although they also infest other types of trees when no crown oak is available. They are also very fond of finished timber products, such as lawn furniture or wooden paneling. Enough of them can do significant damage to or even kill any tree, but such concentrated infestations are rare.
