Does the existence of Cishaurim imply the possibility of Transhaurim?

Unfortunately not, since it explicitly indicated the existence of the Indara-Kishauri.  C's and K's are always in an odd place for Bakker without much rhyme or reason.

I think it's a Sheyic vs Kuniuric(?) thing:

Eta: and apparently the trans-haurim came up 9 years ago.

Ah, yeah, I do recall something like that.  But as was pointed out, I don't think that "rule" is applied consistently was all I was getting at.  This sort of thing does happen in real languages, I think, but I also recall Bakker once saying that part of the inconsistency just comes from moving from different versions of things in different drafts over the years.  Or, maybe I just imagine he said that, I don't know, I am old and can't recall things like I used to.
