Thanks to Miss Malkin for that little gem.

Takeluma

This post is inpired by this. In 1923, Köhler, a cognative phycologist, showed that sound and image had a cognitive correspondance. Two words, MALUMA and TAKETE were matched by 95% of people to the same corresponding image (a round one for MALUMA and a sharp spiky one for TAKETE). Wow, this makes my spine tingle. Association with sound and image .. come one baby!! Its a form of synesthesia we all posess, such as how we visualise a year. Some see it as a spiral, some as a curvy continuous line. If you read this send me drawings of how you see the year to willow@doublevay.com
