Holy wonder! The human enunciating mouth,
these ancient echoes shaped by teeth, tongue, lips,
letter by letter sounding syllables into words.
Some letters hidden from sound but not sight,
not mouthed. Quiescent.
For example, the paradox of
Silent Night
Every letter in silent is sounded.
Every letter in night is not.
What contribution does the ‘gh’ make?
Historical. Linguistic evolution.
Slow change over time.
Language alive is lively.
Contracts. Expands. Breathes.
Disappears.
The ‘gh’ adheres.
Good nite!
