Pentecost

Your references to Whitsunday or Pentecost prompted me to think a new
meaning (to me at least) of this "50th" so important to _Lot 49_, too. 

49 turning 50 could also be understood as percentages? 

Suppressed people becoming powerful when they surpass the 50% limit?
But of course, this never happens inside _Lot 49_; the novel is not
revolutionary romantic. But not anti-romantic, either, in my opinion.
