  • (19:13) "the Nos. of the rain bow and the Power of the air"

Riddley always capitalizes these words, as well as other myth-terms like Master Chaynjis. No. (number) is not only capitalized but abbreviated nearly every time, and Riddley always writes numbers as digits, never as words. This implies that all numbers are in a special category, closely related to Power.
