 * Magrat Garlick's given name is a misspelling; it was supposed to be Margaret, but her mother was too shy to make sure the priest got it right. So when Magrat's daughter was to be named, she spelled the child's name out carefully and added a little note to the priest about it.

 * My-God-He's-Heavy the First, implying that there have been at least two King My-God-He's-Heavy.
