Well it isn't watch. Don't know if anyone else will have another idea. I posted my edited picture. The phrase is repeated...first word begins with a W and the second word begins with an N.....I keep seeing "watch nature"

Maybe that?

I have made the changes suggested to the page entitled Tarot.
Here is a first pass at the Decameron
the Decameron - G Boccacio ”the Human Comedy”
-to avoid the plague, we suggest a 10-day road trip fancy kegger in rural Italy
-too real
-Not actually 10 days - its 2 weeks try to take days off for chores & god
-another frame story: stories to survive sort of?
- interesting rel. w privilege & power. Sch has no status, no power, but creates agency & power with the tools he has. These jerks, however, are rich kids telling stories to pass the time
-maybe the 10 are symbolic:
-> they’re each designated “king” or “queen” of a given day which lets them choose the days’s theme
-Maybe the 10 are symbolic:
->7 women: 4 cardinal virtues -Prudence -justice -temperance -fortitude
3 men: Greek
3 theological virtues: -faith -hope -charity Pieces of the soul: - reason - spirit - appetite
-Most stories are “borrowed” from all over (like 1001 N!) -McWilliam translation is prob fine

I'm thinking there might be a relationship between these shadow people and the sticky substance found on the pre-Darwin creationist texts that the librarian of (un)Natural Studies mentioned in one of the Borrowings podcasts. Was something able to manifest itself into existence through these texts?

We didn't get pages 1-12, 14, 32, 33, 34, and 39.

The three kufic squares they provide the digits for, on pages 40 and 41, can be applied as a page, line, word Ottendorf to the Burton 1001N I feel like the last two pages can be expressed as an algebra problem: A + B = C + D
4 x A = B x D
A - C = B x B
A - B = D / 2

We don't see the page numbers on the 1001N square kufic. It feels like it would come before all of the other ones, so perhaps would be pages 32 and 33?
It's also interesting that there are several places where corrections have been made. But I don't see any difference to the one in the Burton translation. Can anyone confirm?

On page 35 I can see what is wrong with the first two kufi, but not the fourth. Pages 37 and 38 further show corner issues, as well as the note "weird corner that doesn't break the rules".
I'll dig back into the rules to see what's up with corners, but if anyone has an idea, I'd welcome a nudge.
