haikujaguar has sponsored the poem "With Respect to Fwoosh" ... which is appropriate, since it was inspired not only by her poetic prompt but by her artwork.

With Respect to Fwoosh
What does it mean when your hair blows in the wind?
That depends on the culture from which you come.
For a human, it could be a fashion trend.
For an elf, it means you’re feeling frolicsome.
For a dwarf, alas! You’ve gone around the bend.
For an alien, you’re dancing to love’s drum.
Whether on painting or statue or cartouche,
Only one word says it all, and that is: fwoosh!

I have to ask.
Ruhi shows me the sketch: a round-bellied pot with two tall necks connected by a macrame bridge. "It's a cherry-twins pot," the artisan explains.
olmiki (verb) – In Whispering Sands use, the denotation is of things growing ripe together, specifically the relationship between them. This is a picturesque way of describing the relationship between people who have grown up together and are very close. In noun form it’s olmikim and a colloquial translation would be “cherry twins” or “two peas in a pod.” Then there’s olmikânim, for people who behave like olmikim but met later in life.
Evidently Ruhi thinks this is cute. O_O What next...?
