That first flush of caffeine in the morning starts the process whereby the mind rights intself from nighttime stumbling. I had woken from a dream in which I was researching the use of tak and takat as noun-forming postfixes for the enactant or representative concept of a preceding word -- with tuuk or tukut as the feminine -- in an unknown and probably entirely imagined language. For instance kom, area, becoming komtak (native person, male), komtakat as originality or nativeness, komtuuk for a native woman, komtuluk for the concept of being native or aboriginal to an area. Which simultaneously had me decribing a friend's dog as a fluffy wuwu. From which we can deduce that it's actually a chihuahua and male.
You can see why the mind needs waking up.
It does weird things when still asleep.
And that I dislike that dog.
Unimaginative of me.
Most dreams do not involve blackboards and chalk.
Or neurotic linguistics.
Linguisttak = linguist.
Linguisttalak = linguistics.
Linguisttuuk = a female linguist.
Linguisttuluk = descriptive linguistics.
The dog of my friend comes into it because one person assumed it was an adorable German Shepherd puppy and another thought it was a cute dachshund. I had to correct them.
It's actually a fluffy wuwu, and it's effing repulsive.
Don't ask me why there's a loathsome yippy critter in my language class. It's completely a mystery, more so as the owner of the fuzzy beast was off getting coffee somewhere.
Bad student. Inattentive. Absent.
