And like magic, a new theme appears from ConWorkShop: Words that appear on Magic: The Gathering cards.

Time to cultivate our language garden and grow some verdant vocabulary. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is Vegetables, spices and condiments.

Sosuratoroma (The Sky-Earth Song)
Fig. 1. The Sky-Earth Song. [sosuratoroma] or "The Sky-Earth Song" is a perfect pangram of the Rireinutire syllabary. In other words, each character appears in it once and only once. Although it has sometimes been used as an ordering for the syllabary, that role has been for centuries now monopolised by the kuuñuuvisu ordering, and… Continue reading Sosuratoroma (The Sky-Earth Song)
