Vespers For A Language Model, 4/4

19 April 2026

- A eusyllabic word unfolds like a contraption. Jointed, polyform, vised, it latches on the tongue like a technology. With the ends of it, we make out the shape of each other's throats.

- A euphonic word rings like a three-note bell, representing sets of sounds in each language set at complementary distances from each other on the map of the human tongue.

- An embedded word hangs in the mind like a pendulum. The purpose of one is to function between ideas, through which it swings in a perfect and easy period. An example in English is "medium".

- A clean word needs no response.
