@foxfeather Insightful! Thanks for sharing

@CitySquirrel I read and enjoyed both as a kid

@Mainebot Merry Christmas to you too freakozoid

@sarokel A very warm welcome! Don't be shy, the people are lovely (here's a nice intro article if you need it: https://opensource.com/article/17/4/guide-to-mastodon)

@Yukari I'm really looking forward to a full week off work - atm it very much feels like the end of a school term, which is kind of weird...

@typhlosion Ooh, I reckon the speakers would see the wind as self-animated, I guess hafure it is!

Was in the spirit of #lexember a few days ago, here's some of the fruit of my train journey:

fura, v. blow
mafura, v. breathe
chatta, v. jerk, tug, jump
machatta, v. cough

fuan, n. cloud
iwashi, n. sky

but should 'wind' (n.) be:
hafure, 'that which blows'; or
hafuru, 'that which is blown' ?

@icefox I don't have the background to properly understand this [as a maths grad] but I find it hilarious

@Mainebot *snaps fingers softly*

@Shutsumon also, 'a newt' used to be 'an ewte'

soak ewte!

@Mainebot There's a guy in the US with the same full name as me who writes science fiction... and it's a pretty rare surname!

@nonphatic :O

@nonphatic Best name of any polyhedron? I think so.

@jason You... you get paid for this?
