EDNOTE. In VN-s color letter correspondences the blue group includes the
"steely x," "thudercloud z, and huckleberry k. Q is "somewhat browner than
k, while s is not the light blue of c, but a curious mixture of azure and
mother of pearl." _SP, Memory_ II, 1. For Cyrillic correspondences, see
Drugie berega.
I, incidentally, published the first study of VN's synaethesia and its
implications for the writer. See chpater I of my _Worlds in Regression._
But to answer your question---I do not know that "blue" has a general
"meaning" in VN or in RLSKn. Might repeat looking into.
