#and can i just say i’m obsessed with “vush”. like yeah if there would be a word that’s a balance between hard and soft and is also not real

[kiki-or-bouba]

CRUSH??? YOU'RE TELLING ME BOUBA CRUSHES THINGS??

crushing is course and rough, it's not bouba, it's 1,000,000 tiny kikis

bouba does not attack you. bouba does not puncture wounds. bouba is disease. bouba is pus and blood. bouba also squishes things but it does not crush

a heavy stone may be smooth and bouba but the damage in your skull is kiki. the action of hitting someone with a rock is ambiguous

i propose a subset of kiki: vush. if kiki is a sharp pain, vush is a soreness. if bouba is a smooth stone and kiki is a sharp rock, vush is a thousand grains of sand. it's coarse. it's an itchiness

bouba is /p/

kiki is /k/

vush is /s/

this isn’t something i’d normally say to an anon but i think we should kiss
