“A well-spoken sentence in Aturan is a straight line pointing. A well-spoken sentence in Aden is like a spiderweb, each strand with a meaning of its own, a piece of something greater, more complex.” Patrick Rothfuss.
Cree is like Rothfuss’s Adem, except words operate ‘like spiderwebs, each strand with a meaning of its own….’ Take, for example, the word nâkatohkêyimâwasowin “caring” also conveys the ideas of paying close attention, looking after someone, attending to others, and listening closely to others. Much like these geese tend to their young.
