In Human culture the analogy between day, year and life is very precise: each one has four seasons (that are further divided into three periods each).

Let's consider the first periods:
• Primanɔtte (Earlynight) is like Priminvɛrno (Earlywinter) and when you are a bambino (a person from 0 to 7 years old).
• Meʒʒanɔtte (Midnight) is like Meʒʒinvɛrno (Midwinter) and when you are a citto (a person from 7 to 14 years old).
• Tardanɔtte (Latenight) is like Tardinvɛrno (Latewinter) and when you are a ragazzo (a person from 14 to 21 years old).
Age is not just a number, but a point full of poetical associations in your journey, something you should appreciate as you should appreciate each season of the year and time of the day.
Humans are as happy to turn 35, 56 or 84 as they are to turn 7, 14 or 21.
Main influences:
🇨🇳 Diving the day into 12 periods
🇮🇱 The day begins with the night
🇬🇷 Four elements, each one associated to a season and a period of the day
🇮🇪 The year begins in Winter
🇮🇳 Dividing life into 4 periods of 21 years each

The rationale behind alphabetical order in Human:
• 1 vowel, 4 consonants, 1 vowel, 4 consonants...
• Impulse vowel (ɔ) at the beginning, culmination vowel (a) at the centre, cadence vowel (ɛ) at the end.

#conlang #alphabet #language #letters #linguistics #human #langtwt
• Impulse nasal (m) at the beginning, culmination nasal (n) at the centre, cadence nasal (ŋ) at the end.
• Pure letter (h) at the centre.
• Elemental vowels follow the order of the Elements: Water (u), Air (e), Fire (i), Earth (o).
• Non-nasal sonorants near their elemental vowel: Water (ʋ), Air (l), Fire (j), Earth (r).

@ashkiriel and @karmanphilchick Fragility and softness: tender things clearly show their incorruptness, because any corruption would be easily perceived
@learnsomepopo2022 Sunlight: it is pure and it represents truth
@atlantic.language Disappointment: incorrupted things may be disappointingly dull, compared to adulterated ones
@karmanphilchick Refreshment: experiencing incorruptness is like fresh air to the spirit
