^ same question

ꙮ you can count to twelve on one hand by counting your phalanges!!!

Avatar
Salme

I think I’m stupid and don’t know how to count my phalanges

ꙮ you can count to 16 by counting the tips of your fingers and each knuckle but that gets very silly

ꙮ each, like, piece of your finger is a phalanx, each finger has 3, 3 * 4 is 12

Aurelius

i have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about so i will assume this a Strange Alien Custom

Avatar
Salme

thumbs don’t count?

ꙮ you can count to 144 on both hands instead of using two entire hands just to count to 10, it’s very efficient

ꙮ you’re counting WITH your thumb, your thumb points to the appropriate phalanx

base 12 is the most objectively correct base system, it’s even better than base 16

this is why we’re still using imperial instead of metric :(

which is better than base 10, which is better than binary, which is better than any other base system you could be using

Google, very confidently:

ꙮ and you made me think of him!

Avatar
Salme

hm.

ꙮ <catherine_hmm.wav>

Avatar
Salme

Okay so “Sh’voq Li” is Aramaic. “Šbq” (Aramaic is a abdab so they don’t have vowels) is a verb that has a couple different connotations: it can mean to “leave” in the sense of “abandon”; it can mean “permit”; it can mean “forgive”; it can mean to “release”. “Li” is I’m pretty sure almost exactly equivalent to the Arabic term. “L” is a preposition that seems to mean “to/for” and the enclitic “i” appended on the end is the personal first-person pronoun, to “to me/for me.”

Avatar
Salme

so I read it (and I could be very wrong I don’t know aramaic) as “permit me” or “forgive me” or “abandon me” or “release me”

Avatar
Aurelius

: “forgive me” kind of a funny song to be sandwiches between The Night Where Everything Burns and Flawless Victory / End Of Time Summer Party

ꙮ you are reading the title precisely correctly
