This was the first instance of my recog event with ABO'lalia, through the (rl) sound. I had difficulty articulating doqxun'turlan, which was intended to be a -tulan. The (rl) tried to interect, but it was only a partial entry. I classify (rl) as indigenous to this land, belonging to the ABO'lalia half, yet its presence was also caused by how the OZO'lalia half constrained & mapped in my mouth.

I detected (rl) within the Persian registry a few years later, through the word for cherry, known to me as [kiraz > kilaz], which morphed into -->> kirlaz.

gugaqaqkakat'la kak'atma was strongly influenced by the kookaburra bird once again. I resonated with [gugaq] because my first vocalisation for [kucak | kujak] as a baby was [cugu | jugu]. It sounded like home.

During this piece, it felt like a language-related reawakening of sorts, hence the reference to a 40-year coma.

NB - only noticed from the fargone-future, record of the RPAH trauma line struck here. Medical gaslighting event c/o Multiple Sclerosis. TRACK YARA.

 

Awake. Too late. Need to tag & identify where the [rl] comes from.
