[noosphe-re]

syllable (n.)

"vocal sound uttered with a single effort of articulation," late 14c., sillable, from Anglo-French sillable, an alteration of Old French silabe "syllable" (12c., Modern French syllabe), from Latin syllaba, from Greek syllabē "that which is held together; a syllable, several sounds or letters taken together," etymologically "a taking together" of letters.

This is from syllambanein "take or put together, collect, gather," from assimilated form of syn-"together" (see syn-) + stem of lambanein "to take" (see lemma). The unetymological -le apparently is by analogy with participle and principle.

Cheers

Eve Merriam

The frogs and the serpents each had a football team,

and I heard their cheer leaders in my dream:

"Bilgewater, bilgewater," called the frog,

"Bilgewater, bilgewater,

Sis, boom, bog!

Roll 'em off the log,

Slog 'em in the sog,

Swamp'em, swamp'em,

Muck mire quash!"

"Sisyphus, Sisyphus," hissed the snake,

"Sibilant, syllabub,

Syllable-loo-ba-lay.

Scylla and Charybdis,

Sumac, asphodel,

How do you spell Success?

With an S-S-S!"

can you give me a made up fact in haiku form?

No, that's more of a Haikubot thing. I'd not tread upon their gimmick.

7 Nuggets of OPIc Speaking Guide (vol.2)

OPIc Speaking Guide

1. Your speaking should be intelligible and easily understood. 2. There shouldn’t be consistent lapses in pronunciation throughout your answer. 3.

Reading (listening to, as Homer intended) the Iliad making me go oh. Ohhh. I should have done this before I read Gideon the Ninth. I get it now.

Particularly thinking now about the tidbit that in early drafts, our beloved gray-eyed Necromancer Warden of the Sixth House was named Diomedes Sextus. For Diomedes, king of Argos, young, brave, noble, heroic. Favorite fighter of Athena, bestest friend of Odysseus. And, notably, fought gods and—well he didn’t win exactly. But he got them good.

And specifically, he fought and wounded Aphrodite; Aphrodite, who is also called Cytherea.

And then of course Tamsyn Muir said she decided to change his name so she could make the Sex Pal joke.

Palamedes is a less heroic, less fondly remembered character in the Trojan War, but according to Plato, he unrelatedly invented both number and the alphabet, so you keep that connection to scholarship even if that’s not the first association with him. More interestingly, imo, there’s also an Arthurian Knight of the Round Table named Palamedes, best known for his unrequited love for Isolde (and his apparent ultimately gracious acceptance of her choosing Tristan).

I think this is actually a super interesting shift in thematic naming focus: from favored-of-Athena, fought-gods-and-wounded-them to unrequited heterosexual love, but didn’t act like a dick about it.

Also y’know. Sex Pal
