Ustufu
That which is before there is anything. That lump of clay a potter takes in hand - that's Knought. Suppose you had a seed, that could be anything, depending on what food it ate or what light it got. Knought exist within that seed. Infinite potential, whereas Ymnyzy represents the achievement of that potential. That state of "un-ness" makes Ustufu a bit more volatile than the others, but not unwelcome or unwanted. Ustufu is the mud, the seed, the formless, the soil.
Exigur
(Ustufu of Ymnyzy)
Zero hour. Interesting story about this. X was the letter I gave to this symbol. Exigur was the name I later created.
I orginially called this symbol Dissention and thought of it as the essence of being "between a rock and a hard place,"
to be pinched, pressed. Exigur embodies trial, testing, and initiation, to feel pressed through a seive.
As I do with Nysidra, I thought about it more. Ustufu and Ymnyzy... Ymnyzy and Ustufu is Revaire, the expansion.
What's the reverse of expansive time? How does Exigur represent that? In this process, I discovered the word Exigency.
"The state of quality of requiring much effort or immediate action. / A pressing or urgent situation. /
Urgent requirement, pressing need." The zero hour. Quite the 'omg awesome' moment.
Shilza
(Ustufu of Atraya)
I know how to deceive. Everyone has to hide sometimes. Evade the predator. I can make you invisible for a time,
if that's what you need to be. Deception. Lies. Evasion. To obscure through misdirection, to fool.
This symbol would be the patron saint of a fugitive - the hiding, evasion, escaping, going unnoticed.
Steramir
(Ustufu of Extreje)
There will be a flattened, scorched path between me and my goal. I do not stop to think,
do not ask why, do not check for validation.
Stern single mindedness, fury, anger, vengeance. The concentrated force of raw molten lava of emotion.
Highly carbonated will, shaken, compressed, and released through a tiny opening. The embodiment of the essence of retribution.
Panyu
(Ustufu of Ishili)
You want to look beyond my veil? Where is the veil? How can you look beyond an illusion you have yet to see?
Look at the veil. Look at me. All the world is an illusion.
Illusion. Fantasy. Hallucination. Dreams. Imagination. Hope. Daydreaming.
Fobirk
(Ustufu of Oktodo)
I want more. Get me more. Addiction. To want more of what you already have.
(Contrast with Bwent, wanting what you can't have.) Fobirk embodies the need of greed, and excessive dependency.
To be enslaved emotionally and physically to something.
Ukoolga
(Ustufu of Ustufu)
How can you fix something if you don't know it's broken? Thank goodness for the alarm, or you'd never know the
building was on fire. Take away the pain, and you would fall apart. ... Follow the screams to the source;
follow the source to the cause. Disease / Dis-ease. The squeaky wheel. The state of being uncomfortable, imbalanced.
Ukoolga is also beauracracy, complex systems, rules, regulations, and standards. Ukoolga seeks to maintain everything,
to regulate every bit. When the system is out of check, Ukoolga screems, it wails.
Ukoolga represents the immune system, policing the bod, sending out troops to put down any wrong.
Ukoolga is the swamp, the water filter of the planet. It smells horrid, it looks rank, but it is the immune system.
Ukoolga is panic and rioting, the social reaction to an unchecked problem. Ukoolga says, "THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE!"
