OK, so given that the "mother" had been on the island seemingly a long time... and she speaks Latin to Claudia...
This means either
a)she is from Italy circa 300BC or later
b)she had extensive contact with Romans, enough to learn the language.. which leads to more possibilities as well...
1)other Romans had visited the island within the last few hundred years
2)she had a means to travel or at least view/hear other places
3)she had some "power" that allowed her to know languages
if the answer is b) 2) then I retract my posit that she is also a smokey since being smokey seems to chain you to the island... UNLESS smokey is only chained to the island when a"guardian" won't let him leave... and if she was both guardian and smokey, she could do whatever the hell she wanted... but it's more likely she was powerful or had access to power that manifests in another form.... using THAT to fill holes and burn villages and possibly travel the world (or view via lighthouse or other device) on occasion like Jacob did.
