I think I thought this up first, but I might be fuzzy on the past. I think others independently thought this up as well, but men heal women's stilling fully, and women heal men's stilling fully. The bridge appears to be of Saidin for women, and Saidar for men. This brings up a thought: could a woman who cannot channel be made able to channel by building a bridge for her, or does it have to be there in the first place, and thus healable? Same for men. -- Kenneth G.

Not that it particularly matters, but I remember myself and a few others bringing this up when TFOH first came out. > > The bridge appears to be of Saidin for women, and Saidar for > men.

The other speculation that I remember making is that Siuan and Leane might be having issues with saidar because they've been healed to use saidin. Aaron -- Aaron Bergman
