Anyone have one of those? Hehe.. brings back memories..
and the low down on n... (from wikipedia as was the image above)
One of the most common snake hieroglyph was used in Egyptian writing to stand for a sound like English "J", because the Egyptian word for "snake" was djet. It is speculated that Semitic people working in Egypt adapted hieroglyphics to create the first alphabet, and that they used the same snake symbol to represent N, because their word for "snake" may have begun with that sound. However, the name for the letter in the Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic alphabets is nun, which means "fish" in some of these languages. The sound value of the letter was /n/—as in Greek, Etruscan, Latin and all modern languages.
My N is for never again.... I'm cleaning my scraproom in a few moments (as soon as Keagan goes down)
Here's a photo of my scraproom from .. january? and it looks WORSE now..
I'll be back for the after!
