Umm i just read this desc in the world book...this is great for a more colder climate like one with four seasons but do you think this is the right sort of tree we should have in nemen....Nemen with its JUNGLE!!

I can't remember who made the refarre up, but IIRC the aim was to get a mangrove-like tree.

I do wish the author would change the name 'refarre'; he probably wanted to demonstrate its relation to 'rafet',
but 'rafet' is a word of a language which has never been spoken anywhere near Nemen.

indeed, i understand the issues that might arise... although, I intended to make the Refarre tree live in similar conditions as the RL mangrove... which lives in ropical areas like Florida and many tropical islands.
As for the name part, I would have no problem with it being changed, however, i would like to say, not to offend anyone, but simply to note that in a 500x500 km (approx. if I remember correctly) would most likely have few very isolated places in the world, and thus languages might mix or borrow, if not coming from a distant common ancestor, as most of (mainly southern, i believe) Europe.
However, I would like to restate, that I have no problem with changing the name.
