The only thing I'm not sure about here: the use of the definite article in your subject line for this page.
ReplyDeleteHuh. Good point. Changing.
DeleteAlso: is it appropriate to write Gwydion's name in ogham, in my efforts to write names in their birthtongues? (Also, do you know how to get a computer to type in hieroglyphs? It might just be a quirk of Arial, but it just has boxes in the hieropglyph section of their Unicode :-( )
No, Gwydion's name shouldn't be in ogam--the Welsh didn't use it to write anything, only the Irish who lived in Wales used it. (Welsh orthography, while interesting, is very difficult indeed.)
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about hieroglyphic typefaces. Tamara Siuda might be one to ask about that.
Also: I'm still seeing a "the" in your title and the tab for this page. Of the many folks I know, I'd have thought you would be a great proponent of there being many trans* experiences...!?! ;)
