OK, I actually like the Ahriman one. That's becuase its black and in Avestan. Its difficult for something to be in Avestan and not look nice. Black sunburst? Good from an appearance point of view (though I prefer fewer straight lines in tattos, particularly on shoulders), but otherwise quite... wier...

[While the silliest religious sign is the zoroastrian man-in-a-spaceship.... you're not getting that one, are you?] To be honest, I despise the way coloured tattoos look. And, indeed, almost all representative tattoos. They just look so ugly - and when they start to fade, and wrinkle, they look even...

Yes, we normal and healthy people just invent elaborately detailed fantasy worlds that are just as distasteful as the real one. Leaving behind one imperfect world, we expend our energies creating other imperfect worlds. That far more rational than escapism, and infinitely more rational than attempt...

Mark says they're implosive, if i recall. I could be wrong, though. But of course, there are four major different sardinian dialects, some of which are no closer to each other than to standard italian, and a large number of odder minority dialects (eg, i recall there's one dialect in the north that'...

Yes, I know. Although I think laminal refers to any sound where the articulator is the blade of the tongue, rather than the tip - no matter how far back from the tip it may be. My /S/ has the frication caused by the blade, far back. My /tS/ has an apical /t/, and then the /S/ starts apical and moves...

Whimz, as you know Mandarin, could you help me with the alveolo-palatal fricatives ? & j . They're a bit confusing to me. I'm flattered that you'd ask me, especially since I know about 20 words in Mandarin. Nevertheless... Like /S/, but laminal, would be a close approximation, I'd say. And <j> is t...

Like ad, bad, cad, dad, fad, gad, had, jad, lad, mad, pad, rad, sad, tad, yad, and wad(ok, so maybe not wad). If you don't mind being archaic, you can add oad and xad; various british dialects yield vad and zad, while US slang supplies nad. There's no ead, iad, kad, qad or uad, but there is eadi, an...
