Cameos

The next word in the glossary  ... it initially referred to cameo brooches and pendants that were carved from shell. Eventually the other meaning i.e. that of a 'brief appearance by a known person' became significant, alluding to the way that the same person plays the different roles of mother/lover/friend/servant/etc... in quick succesion... and always beautifully!

'Gedienstig' means 'subservient'....!
