Often, when digging inside of larger words, one taps into vast catacombs of consonance within the consonants. When every word within another seems its child, or its brother. Sister syllables speak of southern tongues, of lines long since entwined, of the way the concepts run; one into another, morphing - scruff, rough fur. Furious, yes? But carried to terms, form mother words that relate the rest. Language, as they say, is incessant. Tempestuous. Temptress, to the best of us.
Empress, for the rest of us.
