I sent a message to Terry C privately on this subject, but it seems to 
have sparked some continuing if unfocused interest, so . . .

_Lot 49_ has several suggestive references to mothers--Metzger's, 
Pasqual's, the dolphin-liberator's, Grace Bortz, etc.--but none I can
think of to Oedipa's _except_ to "those dear daft numina who'd mothered
over Oedipa's so temperate youth."  Those mothers.
