As interesting as Michener's "The Source" was, I doubt that he coined
the term "ur-mother" or that it refers to a place (real or fictional)
called Ur. In German genealogy, the term "uradel" is quite common,
with "adel" meaning "nolbility" and the prefix "ur" indicating
"ancient, or original". The term "ur-mother" is probably derived from
the German usage.
