Happy SaturdAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Image descriptions and explanation on the last two slides:
The above is a chain of posts showing different language representations (and canine figures associated with said languages) screaming “AAA”.
First is a photograph coyote, with the Latin letter A.
Second is a Japanese depiction of a fox wielding a sword using the katakana letter “ア” (pronounced like “A”). Katakana is often used for onomatopoeia, or for direct transliteration.
Third is a depiction of a Chinese canine yelling “啊”, a Mandarin character pronounced like “A” used as an interjection.
Fourth is Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god of the dead, with the Egyptian Vulture hieroglyph, one of the twenty-four uniliteral symbols sometimes used to depict sounds. In this case, the Vulture can be used for the sound “A” in Old Egyptian.
Fifth is an illustration of Fenrir, the apocalyptic son of Loki in Norse Mythology, using the rune “ᚨ”, Ansuz, meaning god, which represents the sound “A”.
Sixth is a Mayan depiction of a Coyote, and a representation of one of the Mayan script symbols used to depict the sound “A”.
Last is an image of Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the underworld, and the Greek letter Alpha, used for the sound “A”.
People in the early twenty-first century may not recognize all cultures, symbols, and depictions, but from context, people can very easily determine the common theme (different depictions of canines screaming the same thing in different languages appropriate for the depiction).
