Language is one of the strangest behaviors in our human experience. Though we often see it as ordinary or commonplace, there is something deeply profound and mysterious, something pregnant with unseen histories and intelligences involved.

Definitions of words are public; but the connotations are private and largely invisible… though some portion of the connotation web for some word may be shared in cohorts or clades. And this web is often modulated, intentionally and unintentionally, by circumstances local to a specific moment, situation, or circumstance.
