ascendant DOES also mean ancestor. but that's a much less used meaning
in english... rising is what people think ascendant means.
i wasn't aware of the second definition until i looked at the dictionary
myself...
so ascendant is probably not the clearest choice. people use ancestor a
million times more for this purpose.
