When in the Protocolium , gēgin are deprived of all natural light, warmth and human comfort save for a bound set of canonical Luxembourg netting opinions, which they must read and memorise by candlelight by way of “nettance”.
Nettoyees are allowed out only once a day, to be hosed down with wooden pails of ice cold water (the “Liquidity”) while reciting the Swappist Oath.
Nettance is a highly secret procedure. First mentioned in Otto Büchsteins fragmentary labretto Ser Jaramey Slizzard
