Nehima is the sword that was given to Lirael by the Nine Day Watch before she left the Clayr's glacier. A weapon made by the Wallmakers, it is a powerful blade infused with Charter marks. Nehima is the Sister sword of Binder (the sword Lirael uses to bind the Stilken in the Great Library). The Disreputable Dog says that the name Nehima means "Forget Me Not," and says the name is ironic because Nehima herself was "long forgotten." Nehima's original inscription was "The Clayr Saw me, the Wallmakers made me, my enemies Remember me." Later Nehima's inscription becomes "The Clayr saw a sword and so I was. Remember the Wallmakers, Remember me."
