it's a poem. in my native language to my beloved sweetheart
Babatunde Raimi May 2020
Bewaji "Omo Jogunomi"
"Omo Odua, Omoluabi"
Your simplicity intrigues me
Your six "Shuku" braids
Adorned with petals of royalty
Fit for a royalty like you
Represents all Oodua enclaves

In a fortnight, I shall bring you gifts
From the evil forests no man dares
Therefrom, I shall bring you "Ori Kiniun"
In your name shall I conquer territories
And name them after "Eni bi Okan mi yan"
I am the "Ogboju Ode Inu Irumole"
The only man fit for a goddess like you

Bewaji oh!
I shall call forth fire upon your foes
Even without a degree in water engineering
I will I pave a way from the stream to your house
Build you a fortress as high as Jericho
Because you Bewaji are my treasure
"Eledumare''s" greatest mortal creation

Don't cry for me if I die in this cause
You can put it on love so deep, so true
I strongly desire and adore you my "Bewaji"
My World who wakes up with beauty
Give me a shot from your *******
And my life will not remain the same ever again
Now, tell me, who is your "Bewaji?"
in close association with the katakana:

       -a                𐀀

to create a D - oblivious me:

having to cut off
the following "matchsticks"

   to create, not a D but a D'ah

     𐀀

|- moved across - slide: amputating |
to create:
    
                               𐀅        

yet so primitive before tangent A:
     Δ came along... linear beta:
prior to standardised A... the tangent

weaving out ideographs...
𐂀 - man
              𐂁 - woman...

like the katakana -
there is DA     but no(t) AD

vowels can stand alone -
but consonants need to precede them
when "complexing"...

added...        impossible in linear B...

προστέθηκε - prosthetics: etymology
from prostethike...

     𐀞𐀫𐀮𐀳𐀴𐀐
pa-ro-se-te-ti-ke

     only much later would an F
emerge from 𐀏        KA

as Θ and Φ           but now i can see how:
and why...

how then similar to katakana?
katakana: 5×10 grid (gojūon)

         ゴユオン (goyuon)

             yīn                   adjective: sonic...    

SA-TA-RA-YE
   satire:       but no saturn... RN...
no two consonants meet...

          サチレ         satire

サツレン         SATUREN: but not SATURN

no L in Kyoto no F on Heraklion...

𐀊𐀆             jade - jay'd but perhaps ja'dé
like rose is to rosé

  hei matau taonga:       タオンガ
                       but see apparent:
possible for consonants
to meet: with diacritical addition on GA
hence how polynesian culture
started in Taiwan almost 5000 years ago...

can i see μυ in 𐀘       ?
      as much as i see γ.      in         Υ

κόλλα γλυε κόλλα γω

oh i'm pretty sure those ancients
                were stupid
as modernity has taught us to believe
that the Medieval
    times were harsh is true
but that somehow stupidity was rife
due to superstitions
                                    astounds me
given our own gallery of whims,
quips (about the past)
and pronoun debauchery...

    ビンゴ         !

possible root of birth of letters:

a special place of N among consonants -
coda:


ナ ニ ヌ ネ ノ
ア イ ウ エ オ

yīn and 🔊
       and 🗣️
       and 💬                sonic:
                           ọrọ ni nwachukwu

kiniun ariwo: eyin ti o padanu
                                  wa sisi: nani anajua

origins in spice - chillies...
🧨       or      𐂑: aroma
🚀

                           repenting me, O repenting me,
silly me, now digressing me.
