all the alphabets of her land
Dec. 31st, 2025 03:53 pmPosting two days in a row, what?? Is this 2010?
But I wanted to share this quote from Zig Zag Claybourne's Breath, Warmth, and Dream, which I'm reading at a very leisurely pace:
"'There was once'--Orsys stopped to think--'that I taught a child queen to print her name in all the alphabets of her land.'"
Now that's a worthy thing for a child queen to learn. And after learning to write her name, she can learn to write the names of people who use these alphabets, can learn to conform her mouth to their names. But not all alphabets are human-made. Maybe the child queen also learned the alphabet of leaf miners, or the alphabet of animal tracks across a snowy field, or the alphabet of clam siphon holes in the sand.
What language and alphabet would you like to learn to write your name in?
