WARDI WRITTEN LANGUAGE (BASICS).

Couya's full name (properly 'Haidamane Couya') written formally and with common handwriting conventions.

The Wardi written language derives from earlier proto-language systems consisting exclusively of logograms without direct phonetic meaning or grammatical structure. These symbols gradually became simplified and abstracted to the point of many having little intrinsic clarity, and combined to communicate abstract concepts.

The development of a full written language did not occur independently (as very few written languages do), and its phonetic elements (namely its use of syllabograms) were largely derived the 'ancient' Burri writing system, gradually synthesized with native writing conventions, and in the contemporary forms a wholly distinct system. The language's Relatively universalized form is a very recent phenomena, developing within the past two centuries with the region's conquering/unification into a single entity.

The contemporary written language is a mixture of logograms and syllabograms. It is read from right to left and arranged in horizontal columns. The most formal variant of this system contains each character within a square outline, usually separated by a small space. This outline confers little phonetic or symbolic information beyond making distinction between syllables exceptionally clear, and can be (and often is) omitted in handwriting. The separation of words is conveyed through a narrow rectangle or line in formal contexts, and again often omitted in handwriting (instead indicated instead by a wider blank space).

The pure logograms that have been retained in this writing system tend to be those of very common words or specific concepts (most logogram characters for types of livestock, key crops, water, major body parts, etc are widely recognized and in common use). There has not yet been any attempts to fully 'formalize' the language and omit potentially unnecessary logograms, and they remain frequently used as shorthand while conveying the same semantic information.

Many of the syllabogram characters are directly derived from logograms that depicted monosyllabic words. For example, the spoken word 'gan' means 'cow', and the character for the syllable 'gan' is identical to the common logogram for 'cow'.

The name Gantoche (literally "cow-eye") could be written either fully with syllabograms as:

or through logograms as:

Both ultimately communicate the same meaning, but the former clarifies pronunciation (the words gan and atoche are contracted, it's gantoche and not gan-atoche).

It is a relatively easy written language to learn, as the pure syllabogram characters indicate their own pronunciation with little ambiguity and often have consistency to their construction (ie the character for the syllable 'man' contains most of the same elements as that for the syllable 'wan'- the dot placement in particular has indication of the vowel sounds).

The inclusion of logograms in general and many of the syllabic characters being directly imported From logograms complicates matters. These characters lack visual consistency, and can be confusing to the large swath of the public who know common logograms but not the full written language itself. Ie: the word 'ungande' meaning 'liver' will be composed of logogram-derived syllable characters for 'un' (which alone means 'hand') and 'gan' (which alone means 'cow'). Someone who is only semi-literate in common logograms may be confused at the meaning, especially since these same exact same characters may be used elsewhere on their own to indicate 'hand' or 'cow'.

One major exception to this tendency is that current religious doctrine requires established logogram characters describing God to be used in place of syllabic characters. The word for god is 'Od', and has its own unique character (as do each of the Faces, the capital F 'Face', and Its deified pronoun). The syllable 'od' [oʊd] is very common in the Wardi language, and a wholly separate character is used for the phonetic sound when it is not a reference to the deity (ie 'lion' (odo [oʊdoʊ]) does not contain the same character for God in spite of its first syllable having the exact same pronunciation). Names are a bit of a gray area (ie: the name 'Odabi' is very common and carries the meaning of 'gift/blessing from God'). Religious leadership is currently experiencing a mild schism on whether the written character for God is separated due to being wholly sacrosanct (and thus inappropriate to include in the written form of a personal name) or as more of a functional delineation of the sacred and mundane.

and before anyone comes to me asking for cooking tips and tricks, my blanket recommendation is always to check out salt fat acid heat by samin nosrat and to learn the science of cooking. when you understand the cause and effect of techniques, the why versus the how-to, you instinctively become better at cooking. i will also say that start here by sohla el-waylly is a great cookbook as well, very beginner's basic technique driven and conveniently the introduction was written by samin :)

Cancel culture may not be “real” or lasting or whatever, but people DO need to be held accountable for the shitty things they’ve done or said. If you dig into anyone’s past you’re bound to find something you don’t like. It’s part of the human experience to learn and grow from past mistakes, to recognize when you’ve had a bad take that was based in ignorance or hatred. And although I myself have been struggling with forgiving people for things, I can at least appreciate when an artist calls themselves out or makes some type of apology in regards to the not great things they’ve done.

So please stop trying to “point out” things from Kendrick Lamar’s past as an example of why he should be canceled while completely ignoring the fact that his entire discography has been about his journey of healing and growth. I don’t care if you don’t listen to rap. If you bothered to go through his music you’d know that he’s mentioned time and time again that he’s not a perfect person, that he’s done bad things and that he’s put in the work to fix it. This man has rapped about being in therapy. He’s rapped about wanting to be a better role model for his children and community. He grappled with the guilt he felt for making music that contributed to stereotypes or lined the pockets of people who didn’t have his best interest in mind. He rapped about the pain he watched his mother go through, the pain he caused his wife by not being a better spouse. He rapped about the horrors he endured as a child and a teen and how much he’s grown from the dark place he was in bc of it.

If you want to get into his music and you don’t know where to start, just start at the beginning. Kendrick tells a story through his music. It’s a story of evolution and redemption that feels very, very genuine. And LISTEN to the lyrics. Actually try to understand what he’s saying bc even when you think it’s obvious what he’s talking about, I promise you it’s not. He won a Pulitzer for a reason. Another thing you have to understand is that he makes a lot of references to Black American culture, which is very widely copied, but rarely understood or acknowledged. And most of these references are made as a sort of protest.

I’m not here to make anyone feel bad about not knowing Black culture in America and how it differs from other American cultures, but it’s worth understanding, especially if you listen to rap, hip-hop, pop, country, jazz, rock, blues, etc. These are all genres that are rooted in Black American culture and most of them were made to protest oppressive systems. If you love Nirvana then you should understand where Kurt’s influence came from and how he was heavily against racism. If you like country music then you should know where it comes from. If you can listen to BTS and read all the translations of their songs, then you can at least try to understand rap lyrics on a deeper level.

There’s no shame in educating yourself.

Helena Eagan, VIOLATION (2025)

[ID: a digital drawing of mark s and helena from severance next to a heater. helena is lying on a blanket that says lumon over and over again. she's entirely ice blue, with only the mask she's wearing being warm orange. the mask is of helly r. her smiling face is drawn on with sharpie that has smudged in places, and her hair is angular like it was cut from paper. mark s is over her, his hand cradling the mask. we see the back of his head and a crack in it in the shape of an anatomical heart. helena's hands are at the edges of the crack, pulling it apart, and the exposed brain is pink in the middle and blue around the edges of the crack. a needle with a tear on it is going into his brain. mark s is also in warm colours like helena's mask and the heater. in the background are design elements- the elevator with the down arrow, ms casey's turned away face, shrouded figures and eyes.
