A Terse Post-Script.

If we look at the etymology for war, you find things
like the Late OE. (c1050) wyrre, werre, or the
North-eastern OF. werre, etc; Wer, Were, Ver, Gwer ~ish
sorts of things. In Latin there was bellum, which,
according to the OED, the Romanic peoples were obliged
to avoid for meaning war because of bello or beautiful,
but look what combines the sounds, the term verbal, or
werebell. Now where do we find a 'were-bell'? In the
figure of the Chinese Taotie. Here in Portland, I worked
years ago for a pair of builder architects, one of which
was an intellectual, and one which was a mook. The intellectual
ended up designing the innards of one of the best tea-houses
here in the city called, oddly enough, The Tao of Tea, which
is an eminently cool place to take tea and read a book
of all things. I don't know what happened to the mook.
That leaves the little remainder, the agglutinative,
false-cousin etymology for verbal, war-beautiful,
or "viral ball" or maybe just "buy more gas".
I don't know. What is a Nahar? I'm really not
much of a writer at this point, more of a weirdo.
Or is it just that writing itself represents the
werre-ding, the virthing, birthing, pure thing.
"I Yam what I Yam." That's Nahar!
