* The term "harmonium" has never been used in the stories published so far, but [[Brandon Sanderson]] introduced the term in one of his talks even before the release of [[Shadows of Self]]{{qa ref|1094|43|Salt Lake City Comic-Con|date=Sep 4th, 2014}} and has afterwards confirmed that it is another term for ettmetal.{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}} [[Marasi]] probably did not know the term harmonium when Allik described ettmetal to her, as otherwise the word would have translated.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
 
* [[Brandon Sanderson]] has described ettmetal as "super-cesium" in reference to its violent chemical reaction with water.{{17s ref|post|513046|Ettmetal is Harmonium|date=December 3, 2016}} [[Wikipedia:Cesium|Cesium]], like other alkali metals, is an extremely reactive real life metal, and will cause an explosion with water even at sub-zero temperatures.
