  Personnel Files, Dax, Ezri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Yanas is an important business leader in the Sappora system, and she owns the sixth-largest mining facility in the entire sector.
Yanas believes that her daughter has always been too proud for her own good, and can never do anything the easy way, but Ezri simply has no desire to follow in her mother's footsteps, and become part of the family mining business.
The young Trill's defiance of her mother's wishes shows that Yanas has not smothered her daughter's independent spirit, but the same cannot be said for Ezri's two brothers, both of whom work for the family firm.

 Yana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Yana is a Sanskrit word with a range of meanings including nouns such as vehicle, journey, and path; and verbs such as going, moving, riding, and marching.
The use of yana to refer to a spiritual journey may date to the Rig Veda, possibly composed circa 1500 BCE, whose 10th Mandala makes several references to devayana, (translators usually render this as the "path of the gods" or similar) and one reference to pitryana ("path of the fathers").
Yana has been used subsequently in a number of schemas of the Mahayana Buddhist teachings in which there have been two, three, five, six, nine, and more vehicles.
