: Four. The Tain. There is but one reference to this in the
: entire several hundred page book. The story speaks of
: having someone collect all the *shards* of the tale
: known as the TaÌn. And that is an accented
: "i" in case it doesn't show up properly.
: Although the TaÌn is obviously a tale or story of some
: sort, it couldn't have been too hard to make it be an
: artifact.

Tain is a middle-English word that means taken. I always assumed this is where the name comes from.
