#non-scribal

[luckygrlsyndrome]

hi guys, i've never coined anything so lmk if i do anything wrong !

i wanted to coin a new term related to nonscribal and verbalflux because i haven't seen a term that describes some of my own and my friend's experiences

SCRIBALFLUX: a term for when your ability to produce written or typed language fluctuates between different states, such as having no, some, or full ability to produce written language

Hello! I wanted to make a general symbol for verbality.

It's a star! With an outline of a circle and a filled circle in the middle.

Each Point on the star represents:

Intersection of verbality; co-morbidity.

So, usually verbalism, altverbalism, and related could, and can be caused by disorders. Such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, autism, sensory disorder, ADHD, and a ton more. To represent the intersections of co-morbidities, I wanted to give the subject itself, it's own point. People forget that neurodevelopmental, sensory, physical, and mental disorders/disabilities can affect verbality in many ways.

Verbal, Verbalism, *Verbality* ; Speak, Speaking

The way one speaks, talks, and vocalizes words or sounds. This can range from alternate-verbalism/speaking, hyper-verbalism/speaking, semi-verbalism/speaking, non-verbalism/speaking, or undefined verbalism/speaking. As long as it goes off verbal-normatives or speaking-normatives, it will fit.

Lexic, Lexicon, Lexica

An inability, rather totally, partially, or undefined, to comprehend and understand vocabulary.

Scribal, Scribalism

An inability, rather totally, partially, or undefined, to write, or text using vocabulary.

AAC

So, AAC stands for Augmented and Alternate Communication. This includes any someone may communicate outside of speaking-normative ways. Rather it be using a text to speech app, buttons to text app, buttons to speech app, sign language, sounds, and a ton more! Rather, someone uses AAC or not, does NOT equate the worth and validity of someone who falls under the verbality umbrella.

When it comes to the circle, I personally added this for anyone who doesn't conform to verbality-normative. Rather it be using undefined to describe your verbality, not wanting to use AAC, not forcing yourself to talk, not wanting to mask, and/or a ton more! Generally includes any non-conforming individual who falls under the verbality umbrella.

ASCII : ✬

[Image ID: A flat, blue star outline with a large circle in the middle. The circle doesn't touch the star. End ID]

Note: While verbalism inherently relates to one's *speaking* abilities, I am using it as a *broad* term. Technically speaking, vocabulary is the correct term when discussing non-normative ways of such, I think people might understand me better if I use: verbalism.

Omg I just sent a tiny vent to the antiendos fuzzies blog, but I had to come here and say WHY DID ENDOS HAVE TO MAKE BEING NONVERBAL OR HAVING SELECTIVE MUTISM MEAN ONLY SPEAKING IN EMOJIS??? We're an autistic system who will slip into selective mute episodes when too stressed, and we prefer to type or write when unable to bring ourself to speak. But when I tell someone I'm selectively mute, they make fun of me and say it's not a thing and I need to talk or try harder to talk or yadda yadda yadda and I sometimes think they have the idea of selective mutism from endos doing emoji speak and not from actually autistic people

Sorry for the vent

-🛵 from🧋 sys

mh, personally some of us use emojis when non verbal but usually only the non scribal ones use them ((unable to write and sometimes read)). I think it's pretty useful but also not everyone uses them and assuming that they do just isn't fair

I'm sorry people say that to you though, you're vaild. Selective mutism is a real thing and those who say otherwise clearly know nothing

Hello! I saw your discussion about Inanna on Twitter and got a bit confused. You said that the tutelary goddesses of Uruk, Zanbalam, and Akkad were all "Ishtar" and "Inanna," with the only difference being on a cultic level. But then you proceed to say, "never such a situation as 'there's one goddess named Inanna and one named Ishtar.'" Did you mean that Ishtar and Inanna are practically the same? As a bonus question, who is the deity in the image you posted on Twitter?

I’ll start with the bonus question, since it’s something new, while the rest will pretty constitute reiterating what I already said many times.

Admittedly, I was a bit confused at first, because the last image I remembered posting on twitter was this:

That’s not a deity, it’s a plushie (officially "Ouioui series Y Pathetic Suctipoda") made by the company Itemlabel; they come in blindboxes with between 5 and 12 designs in a series. This specific one is sold out already, though.

Then I remembered I used a crop of the quite unique plaque from the temple of Sin in Tutub as a reaction image at some point:

I’m going to assume that’s what was meant. 

In the 1970s it was in vogue to try to link this remarkable work of art with the usual repertoire of entry level monster combat myths, without any real regard for spatial and temporal distribution of these motifs, but that never really caught on and it’s thankfully no longer a thing. As far as I am aware, today there are two proposals regarding this scene which are worth considering. The first is that it shows the defeat of Enmesharra (Wilfred G. Lambert, Babylonian Creation Myths, p. 288). The logic is fairly straightforward: the one-eyed entity has an eerie sun-like head, which according to Lambert offers an interesting parallel to Enmesharra’s epithet zimu, “splendour”, and the fact in a late account of his defeat it is reassigned to Shamash. He speculated scenes where gods with rays coming out of their body are defeated might be related, and offers an interesting insight that perhaps Enmesharra came to be regarded as luminous in some way due to accidental similarity between his name and Inanna’s arguably most famous epithet, Ninmesharra (which is basically the feminine version of the same name; note that there’s also an unrelated god list exclusive Ninmesharra who is an artificial exercise in inventing a wife for Enmesharra to match Enlil’s en-nin pair ancestors). I think Lambert’s arguments are quite compelling and they basically formed the core premise of the non-gay parts of my Inanna story. However, the one-eyed entity has yet another proposed identity which might fit even better. Andrew R. George in Nergal and the Babylonian cyclops points out that textual sources might indicate that a cyclops might really just be a cyclops. While infrequent, references to a mythical creature named igidalu (probably a loanword from Summerian igi dili - in other words, “one eye”, “monoculus”) are known from various sites, including an omen indicating Nergal was known as a vanquisher of such a specimen. It’s worth noting the birth of one-eyed animals was associated with Nergal too, which strengthens the possibility that we’re dealing with a well known myth which simply didn’t survive in written form. The only thing George doesn’t address are the rays, but it’s not like the “monoculus” necessarily had to look fully human-like.  With the interesting stuff out of the way, let’s go back to your initial question. A solid chunk of it is already covered by the previous ask response, so I will only cover some misunderstandings you seem to have under the cut. Plase read previous ask responses and check the recommended reading doc in the future though because I'm kind of tired of repeating the same basic points every few weeks.

To begin with, cultic information is the most significant and should not be dismissed the way you seem to do. Most myths were just scribal exercises, offering lists and various displays of personal devotion are what reflects actual religious activity.

Inanna and Ishtar are names. “Umbrella terms” as Tonia Sharlach put it (and that’s without going into the existence of ordinary nouns ištar and ištartu). There was no singular Ishtar and no singular Inanna, there were numerous deities who could be referred to with both of these names. There is basically no sound way to have one “character” named Inanna and one named Ishtar; either stick to having just one - a type specimen of sorts representing a whole category - or go into more detail and include like 5-6. Megaten took the dumbest route and I’m frankly not interested in talking about it anymore. An early example, what I brought up on twitter, is that the tutelary goddesses of Uruk, Zabalam and Akkad (the city) were pretty clearly separate from each other. Separate hymns are dedicated to each of the three in the Temple Hymn collection, for instance. Each of the three had a separate repertoire of names. These repertoires partially overlap, most notably the names Inanna and Ishtar were applied to all three of them (and to a plethora of other deities) but we’re fundamentally dealing with related, but still separate, deities.

It is safe to say I. of Akkad was an Ishtar before I. of Uruk and I. of Zabalam were, but she was hardly the only goddess named Ishtar (indeed, you’ll find specimens as far west as Ebla). There’s a recurring argument that she was, for political reasons, conflated with Inanna of Uruk during the Sargonic period and this lead to the interchangeable use of the names Inanna and Ishtar later to refer to various deities; this is not impossible though it’s worth noting that a lexical list from Ebla, which is pre-Sargonic, already recognizes the equivalence between the names Ishtar (“Ašdar” if you want to go by Eblaite orthography) and Inanna. Also, it’s worth noting that it’s sort of questionable to speak of fully separate “Sumerian” and “Akkadian” pantheons - putting aside the fact each city-state would have its own pantheon, the lines don’t neatly correspond to languages, ex. the names Sin and Nanna probably started to be used interchangeably before writing was even invented - and despite being nominally Akkadian, the former was the one preferred in Lagash, arguably one of the parts of Mesopotamia with the highest % of Sumerian speakers.

Regardless of how the names came to be interchangeable, there’s no clear evidence for the goddess of Akkad NOT being considered separate despite sharing some of her names wirh others. If anything, with time she only became more distinct, with the epithet Annunitum becoming her primary name (and she also got a “twin” who splintered off from her, Ulmashitum, named after her temple). The case of Zabalam is even more complicated. Technically, it is possible the tutelary goddess of Zabalam was not originally named Inanna, but rather Nin-UM (reading of the second sign is uncertain). That’s how she is referred to in the Zame Hymns from the Early Dynastic period; there’s some disagreement whether we’re dealing with a case of an attempt to “Inannize” an originally completely unrelated goddess or if some sort of splintering happened (in which case the name Nin-UM would be secondary). In any case, she is also pretty clearly a distinct deity. The Weidner god list keeps her apart from the “regular” Inanna. Furthermore, while the circles of deities associated with both overlap (ex. Ninshubur and Nanaya occur in sources from both Uruk and Zabalam), the connection with Shara is effectively exclusive to Inanna of Zabalam (save for the awkward inclusion in Inanna’s Descent)

While myths might skip this sort of distinction, it’s worth noting that’s not 100% guaranteed. For example, there’s a proposal that the hostility between Inanna and Gilgamesh, which is a motif originating in Gilgamesh and the Bull of Heaven (which predates the singular epic by a couple of centuries), might indicate that implicitly Inanna of Akkad or Zabalam was meant instead of Inanna of Uruk (Douglas Frayne, The Struggle for Hegemony in “Early Dynastic II” Sumer, pages 63-64).
