So just what the heck is a Habble?

kdx7214:
Okay, I've read my ARC and enjoyed it.  My ONLY question throughout the whole thing is wtf is a habble?  Google was no help, neither was an OED.  I'm assuming it's just a made-up word for a place to live, but it seems odd that JB would do something like that without reason.

Mith:
Is it a typo for "hovel" then?

Second Aristh:
I would guess that habble is more than just a place to live.  The prologue takes place in Habble Morning, but the characters give it political weight as well.  Perhaps a habble is a major subsection of a Spire?

KevinSig:
I want to say it's a play on habitat.  That's what I assumed in my reading of my own ARC.

I wouldn't doubt that it has some roots in that general vicinity.  Perhaps a portmanteau of habitat and rabble = place for the people to live?
