Let us pretend for a moment that things will calm down in Uknowwhere, and have a laugh or two.

The works of Heraclitus of Ephesus, c. 535-c.475BC, though in antiquity one of the more well-known Pre-Socratic philosophers, sometimes credited as the father of Stoicism, survive only in what has come to be called the Fragmentsโ€”the most famous of which is the one about not being able to step in the same river twice.

Here's another, quoted by Plutarch centuries later:

๐‘ž๐‘ฉ ๐‘ท๐‘ฎ๐‘ฉ๐‘’๐‘ฉ๐‘ค ๐‘ฏ๐‘ฐ๐‘ž๐‘ฉ๐‘ฎ ๐‘’๐‘ฉ๐‘ฏ๐‘•๐‘ฐ๐‘ค๐‘Ÿ,
๐‘ฏ๐‘ท๐‘ฎ ๐‘ฎ๐‘ฉ๐‘๐‘ฐ๐‘ค๐‘Ÿ, ๐‘š๐‘ณ๐‘‘ ๐‘ฆ๐‘ฏ๐‘›๐‘ฆ๐‘’๐‘ฑ๐‘‘๐‘•
(or if you prefer, ๐‘ฏ๐‘ฒ๐‘ž๐‘ผ)

The oracle in question could have been the one at Delphi, but there was a nearer one down the coast at Didyma.

Daffodils now in bloom. Joy!

Subject: The Shavian alphabet and Esperanto

Toggle Shavian
As many of you will know, there is a form of the Shavian alphabet that is used to write Esperanto. If you want more information on that adaptation, please contact me, Erik Felker, at ejfelker@dslextreme.com. I would like to find people with who to practice the Esperanto version of the Shavian alphabet.
