ABSTRACT

The effect is one of polyphony; themes flow one above the other as in a fugue; the printed words represent a series of cross-sections, chords. Syllabic sounds are treated as units which can be moulded or reassembled so as to convey a host of meanings in a single vocable. A slight vowel change may suffice to add the required nuance, orand this is where the plain reader is apt to stumble-the basic word or root is sometimes deformed out of easy recognition.
