Florence Wallis

hi Florence, Thanks for the event, your organizing and your great performance yesterday. I've put these two placeholder cells into this shared notebook. Once you've supplied draft text, I'll edit it for thelaob.com and take a fork that will actually go into the LAOB Utopian Pre-Launch annual. I haven't yet, but I will also figure out a way to get the animation to show one verse-shape at a time, and then make the reader-facing website version. But for now, if you could write these two paragraphs directly into this notebook, that would be great! Best, John

hi Florence, I very much like this paragraph-at-stake. Did you mean to write "so far, translations of Sumerian have been unable to divine"?

Perhaps 'Previous translations of Sumerian have divined a reality which starts to disintegrate here through covering, uncovering and anarcho-translation.'?

Yes, I think that is clearer. I see that your original way of putting it did express some dissatisfaction with existing translations but the left them rendered them divinatory, if not divine, and I'm not sure they deserve this: certainly less than your own Eme-Sal ;)
