Perhaps he meant (or should be read as having meant) 'Orlanthi Only'.
As for the sources cited: KoDP offers only 'statistical evidence'
It would be very odd indeed if you needed to join Nandan just as a
route to get cow-tending magic... (Unlike Ernalda the Mother, in
which case it would rather make sense...)
of this, so far as I'm aware (i.e., "I've never seen a male Uraldan
in KoDP"), and HW:RiG isn't specific about this 'aspect', saying only
that 'many' aspects have such a restriction. (Which in any case
Nandan initiation would do the job for, fairly generally.)
Cheers,
Alex.
