. a sober me will do something akin to: listening to cabbage's song perdurabo from the album nihilistic glamour shots on repeat... reworking en plein air poetics: notes towards writing in the anthropocene (brian teare) - yes, the scribbly bits - and yes, the song on repeat... with an interlude for dinner, a movie (unsane): and about 10 minutes wrestling with a bottle of ***** in plain sight... after a movie like UNSANE? you wish for a drink to mule the whole plot of insanity on screen... but a reminder: i was working on something more important, wasn't i?
cultural darwinism: what could ever be
more than a history that is a history
in etymology?
there is no proof of going up
bound to a ladder -
supposed "praxis":
well... i too was on the search for
an "etymology" of a script
that i'd be able to call: yore - yonder...
albeit not in ᚷᛖᚱᛗᚨᛁᚲ
i thought i could not
have shared a genesis
as that:
'as old in writing:
as in thought.'
something older,
so to my surprise: it does exist!
but reworking it
had to be known (at least to me) -
standard-bearer:
26... letters... from English /
Latin... script...
Ⰰ - A Ⰱ - B Ⰲ - W Ⰳ - G
Ⰴ - D Ⰵ - E Ⰽ - K Ⱄ - S
Ⰸ - Z Ⰻ - I Ⰾ - L Ⰿ - M
Ⱀ - N Ⱁ - O Ⱅ - T Ⱆ - U
Ⱈ - R Ⱂ - P Ⱇ - F Ⱌ - C (20)
exceptions:
X
other exceptions?
graphemes...
which will be included...
20 letters... minus X:
minus V... or...
when d'aal...
Y.... and H... and J
Ⱘ - Y
Ⱓ - Ju
the closest i've come to is...
well... Greek has 24 letters...
who says that anything less is...
"uncivilised"?
Hebrew... that's 22 letters...
Ⰰ - A Ⰱ - B Ⰲ - W Ⰳ - G
Ⰴ - D Ⰵ - E Ⰽ - K Ⱄ - S
Ⰸ - Z Ⰻ - I Ⰾ - L Ⰿ - M
Ⱀ - N Ⱁ - O Ⱅ - T Ⱆ - U
Ⱃ - R Ⱂ - P Ⱇ - F Ⱌ - C (20)
Ⱘ - Y (21) what's needed,
in all honesty... is... something to balance
laughter on... a H... ah... Ⱈ - ch...
which brings me onto the graphemes...
some are missing:
some, depends on your orthographic
taste, in the context of Western Slavic...
you'd be making orthographic
mistakes:
personally?
if you're going to bother marking
an S with an acute sign...
you might as well allow the S caron...
ergo?
a list of graphemes
and diacritical individual markers:
Ⱎ - Š
Ⱔ - Ę
which makes Ą missing...
Ⱍ - Č
Ż is missing...
no, no mirage... je suis sam...
Ⰶ - Ź...
or at least this is a sketch of what
i would inherit from proto-slavic...
high-slavic?
that's the ogonek on the A and
the E... no caron above the vowels,
an an orthographic pedantry of
either U or Ó...
there's already a name for
all of this: i just didn't know where
to look!
- and i was looking at it
to begin with!
well... what seems like...
modulating what would
have been the equivalent
of: runes...
the glagolith, the bukvitsa:
h'ieronymian...
or mine: gadanina
since there's no Ł
to write out: słowo (word - swovo)
- looks like we now know
the "problem" of the H, I and J...
here and there: erroneous leftovers of
etymology... scraps...
and... no one thinks that
the English language has... "too many"
letters?
Ⰰ - A Ⰱ - B Ⰲ - W Ⰳ - G
Ⰴ - D Ⰵ - E Ⰽ - K Ⱄ - S
Ⰸ - Z Ⰻ - I Ⰾ - L Ⰿ - M
Ⱀ - N Ⱁ - O Ⱅ - T Ⱆ - U
Ⱃ - R Ⱂ - P Ⱇ - F Ⱌ - C
Ⱘ - Y Ⱈ - (c)H
certainly the graphemes
(Ⱎ - Š, Ⱍ - Č & Ⰶ - Ź...
but there's a missing...
grapheme
for the je suis! Ř or Ż
Ⱔ - Ę)...
apparently i need:
Ⱑ - ja
after all..
so... how does one test this out?
ⰘⰅⰡⰀ!
ⰏⰀⰏ
ⰐⰀ
ⰋⰏⰋⰤ
ⰏⰀⰕⰅⰖⰞ
a day's "hobbying" just to end up
writing something like that...
last revision:
Ⰰ - A Ⰱ - B Ⰲ - W Ⰳ - G
Ⰴ - D Ⰵ - E Ⰽ - K Ⱄ - S
Ⰸ - Z Ⰻ - I Ⰾ - L Ⰿ - M
Ⱀ - N Ⱁ - O Ⱅ - T Ⱆ - U
Ⱃ - R Ⱂ - P Ⱇ - F Ⱌ - C
Ⱘ - Y Ⱈ - H (Ⱎ - Š Ⱔ - Ę
Ⱍ - Č Ⰶ - Ź Ⱑ - ja)...
i.e.: there are still only 22 letters...
Ł does exist:
like any diacritical mark in modern Russian...
look at it!
Ⰾⱏⰹ...
БЛЫОTO
душкa душкa! Мишa...
Ⰻ ⰜⰑ
Ⰸ ⰕⰅⰃⰑ?
it's almost like,
i remember those guys from
school, who would sneak out
on weekends
at night, to scribble graffiti;
wherever it was,
or wasn't,
i sure as wasn't:
the ever studious
faustian archetype...
tzn.:
ⰖⰝⰑⰐⰨ
ⰕⰖⰏⰀⰐ!
here...
here's my graffiti...
but... ha ha!
here's an idea...
how about....
how about!
people get those ****** Chinese
worded tattoo written off their skins?
