The Seven Axunemi Classics

Axunaiš sigadu yutei - The Hundred Flowers of Axunai - poetry
Duxuvax - Treasury of Lessons - moralistic stories
We seem to be missing one. Or is the Dusočuvax included?

Are these classics in the eyes of the modern Xurnese? Did the followers of Endajué seek to do away with the old ideas or were they receptive to ancient wisdom? Not to mention ideological changes during the Revaudo Revolution...

(Further up it says that Endajué "has its roots in the Mešaic philosophical tradition," but I figure you can make a show of disposing of outdated ideologies while still holding on to lots of things subconsciously.)

Indeed. Christianity has its philosophical roots in Judaism, as does Buddhism in Hinduism.

Did I say Seven Classics? I meant Six. :)

(I did miss one; but six is actually a better number in Mešaic tradition, dating back to the Wede:i base-6 numeration.)

The books aren't holy in Endajué, but they're still considered the cream of Axunašin literature.
