Wing's Edge-4/4/25

 Wings Edge


Part 1 of 2

Note: Game on, on the radio...Angels behind, late innings, down 3 to Cleveland...in part 2 I'm gonna tie this to those blessed 9...oh, Trout with long fly out...blessed 9 to 11 flight feathers that the Egyptians stayed faithfull too in their art, their hierioglyphic writing, their grammar, their spelling...a written language has spelling...odd, the Egyptians were all about spells, the other kind of spelling-superstition...one ponders if they were as accurate about those spells as they were spelling...Angels done, Cleveland piling on...meticulous transcripton-any baseball box score...Robert Graves points to it all with the Roebuck in the Thicket...

.In Wales as aboyIlearnedtorespectthelapwingforthewonderfulwayinwhichshecamouflagesandconcealshereggsinanopenfieldfromanycasualpasser-by.AtfirstIwasfooledeverytimebyheragonizedpeewit,peewit,screamedfromthecontrarydirectiontotheoneinwhichhereggslay,andsometimeswhensherealizedthatIwasanest-robber,shewouldflapaboutalongtheground,pretendingtohaveabrokenwingandinvitingcapture.

Ohoppe hit a home run...the copy/paste missed the spaces...why not...for awhile early Greek didn't have spaces!...anyway, the lapwing may not be the right bird...kildeers do this...lay their eggs in open, and pretend to be injured far away to lure Coyote or Bobcat away...I guess...I dunno!...things like this in Nature are a "tell"...a clue...to what?...9 to 11 flight feathers in birds that fly is a clue...in science, birds evolution...noting the Egyptian were noting this a pause!...same kinda pause with the step fret triangle in the Americas...part 2 tomorrow...Guardians 8-Angels 6...🙂

The Historical Grammar of Myth

AI Overview

Grammar of Oral Speech

+5
The grammar of oral speech, or spoken grammar, differs from written grammar in several ways, being more flexible, less formal, and relying on context and interpersonal relationships. It often features shorter sentences, more personal references, and a greater use of repetition and familiar words. 

Grammar of Written Speech

When considering the grammar of written speech, it's important to understand that while written language often follows stricter grammatical rules, spoken language, especially in the context of a speech, allows for more flexibility and casual phrasing. 
Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
1. Formal vs. Informal Language:
• Written Speech:
While still aiming for clarity, written speech can incorporate more formal language, complex sentence structures, and precise vocabulary.

Edge of Grammar


"Edge of grammar" can refer to the Universal Grammar theory, which posits that humans possess an innate predisposition to develop languages with specific properties, or it can refer to the "edge" of something, meaning the point at which it may start to happen. 
Here's a breakdown of both meanings:
1. Edge of Grammar as Universal Grammar:
• Universal Grammar:
This theory, explored on the Edge.org website, suggests that core commonalities across languages exist because they are part of our genetic endowment.
• Innate Predisposition:
Humans are born with an innate predisposition to develop languages with specific properties, such as parts of speech (nouns, verbs), and ways to embed propositions in other ones.
• Explanation for Language Similarity:
This theory could explain why languages are similar and how children acquire their native language. 
2. Edge of Something as a Point of Transition:
• Meaning of "Edge": The "edge" of something, especially something bad, is the point at which it may start to happen.
• Examples:
• "A species on the edge of extinction".
• "The company was teetering on the edge of disaster/bankruptcy".
• "She was on the edge of tears".
• Synonyms: Verge, point, brink, threshold.

Feather and Waves/1/11/2025

 Feathers and Waves








https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frying_pan_(NAMA_4974)#:~:text=It%20is%20separated,left%20end.%5B


In the main field, stamped spirals, linked together by engraved lines, surround a ship which is engraved slightly below centre, opposite the handle. The hull and an upward pointing prow are depicted by engraved double lines. There is a fish symbol and two banners on the high prow. Above and below the hull, oars or rudders are suggested by slanting lines - a different number on each side.[1] A unique feature compared to other frying pans is the orientation of the ship. It is the only known depiction of a ship with a high prow, which is usually identified as the bow, at the left end.[2]


Note: browsing the facebook reel feed, I happened on an Egyptian model ship, with a pause...it had this Mycenean pattern...and towards the bow was another, the bull, I think...I think, because it scrolled away before I could share it to my notes...so, I'm off looking for it...some encouragement, as here the pattern with boat...the Egyptian ships are like a microcosm of the whole art...noted this with Kheker Frieze...normally that's on a painting, walls, and such, but I found it on an Egyptian boat, sideways, decorating the bow...the boats were special, used for ceremonies, and everything Egyptian packed into their decor-symbols...lemesse if I can find one illustrating this...oh, found another with the Mycenean curls...just a little bit...top pic...behind Nat. Geo. pay wall...time to feed cats, and me...more tomorrowmorrow...
