Why were syllables important?

The first nyear is explicitly defined by Rule 3 as beginning with the probably-hypothetical nweek 0. So Corvette of nweeks ending in 3 is AGSHD. Well, we totally failed to party in Agora's dishonor. I hope they feel mildly insulted by the oversight. Fun fact: "nweek" is explicitly defined to be a two-syllable word, "for all purposes of grammar and syllable-counting." The Revival Era did not actually revive the aspect of the old rules that made syllable-counting relevant, so this is dumb, but there you go. Anyhow, I move to the Piazza. _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
