tony said...: ... on second thoughts, the plural of Hoko would probably turn out to be Hokum.; 20 October 2007 at 13:00
guitougoal said...: file.
yes, chapter O it's wild, and there is one for each letter.
"Abondance de biens ne nuit jamais"=too much good is not bad,or something similar-; 20 October 2007 at 13:26
Zephirine said...: I bought the book! And there's much, much more, each chapter is about 30 pages with only one vowel used. It delights you and does your head in at the same time.

Guitou, your pet's artwork was good but your own is superb,; 20 October 2007 at 13:40
Zephirine said...: (tsk, blogger, annoying software)

each time I look at this i-ku it gets better.; 20 October 2007 at 13:42
guitougoal said...: thanks Zeph, I thought about the O while drinking a mojito!! at " Malo" great joint with interesting mixt of people.As the conversation was about names and people we care...it went from Zorro..to Marco Polo...Diego, alfredo,victor Hugo...Sarko-No-not this one. John Lenon of course,; 20 October 2007 at 14:11
file said...: fyi. Wiki has it that:

Eunoia is the shortest English word containing all five main vowel graphemes. It comes from the Greek word εύνοια which means well mind.

It is a rarely used medical term referring to a state of normal mental health.

In book eight of Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle uses the term (in Greek) to refer to the kind and benevolent feelings of goodwill a spouse has which form the basis for the ethical foundation of human life.[1]

Eunoia is also the title of a lipogram by Christian Bök which consists of chapters written using words limited to a single vowel. Bök defines "Eunoia" as “beautiful thinking.”

...did you really buy it Z?

Eunoic Zephirine! Didn't you tell me it took him 7 years to make?; 20 October 2007 at 14:13

Hello all, I'm reading back through all the i-kus and loving them. Have dashed off a few myself but haven't decided whether to send them in yet as they might be a bit vitriolic (it's been a rough week).; 20 October 2007 at 16:25
Anonymous said...: Munni - do send them. Vitriol is good for the soul, sometimes!; 20 October 2007 at 17:40
tony said...: Oh yes, munni ire-kus; 20 October 2007 at 17:47
