If you read 'The Haven' you will see some playful use of those languages with some of the names. For example, the name for the forest town, Penyon, is derived from the Spanish 'peñón', which means an outcrop of rock or crag but also is used in reference to island forts that are usually sit upon a mass of rock. Similarly, the name for Colonel Hakennase is derived from the German word for hooknose.view less
