 | This is a segment of my reflections mapped onto the conlang; e "for" is used in titles of non-essays, as opposed to ti "on" which is used in titles of essays, and both mean "about".
Numbered superscripts are not part of the orthography but mark notes relevant to the intended meaning of the text. |

Detect the long long long long line I found something interesting: the eye can read static text that overlaps moving text. Try viewing this page on [your] phone and scrolling the gloss around.

The cross-section of cloudy water hang above; here I, with many others, ride on wheels of neon the trend of economic downturn clutching an electron gun to make a diffraction of someone's face. Against the sky where birds rot away mid-flight, we used to dine at the end of the waves, inside walls of fused blades. Before that it [this place] was a painted-over gate where a homeless man spent his days and nights, and before that relaxed diners [I remember] from my childhood, but the city has since forgotten them. Now all the fervent surveillence cameras turn to one point in the plastic arena. Nobody will answer cries for help; here pain has no significance outside the brain. As easy music drowns out the dying wailing around me, I shut my mass-produced eyes and connect the dots: one, two, three. ¹ I wrote this text to show how a language designed to be precise can be made blurry. I think (and hope) I don't have the ability to predict the future. ² For the pronunciation of ''Fractlcilinu v uqcari'', recall that the apposition particle ''v'' is palatalized. uqcari: uq- "of the mind", -cari "network", contraction of ''carsapi'' ³ An electron emitter used in diffraction demonstrations ⁴ When these relaxed diners I mention here still existed, the PST.PFV form of Hwnic verbs was to suffix -''pn'', part of a deprecated system now superseded with auxiliary verbs.
