Euche — Scapa Language Advisors
Figures of Speech –– Emotion: Euche. Prayer is the most personal expression of emotion; we strip ourselves to pure feeling and in some cases even desperate supplication. Due to its intimate nature, it usually remains private all the way through to the grave. However, if revealed by the author or...

Aganactesis — Scapa Language Advisors
Figures of Speech –– Emotion: Aganactesis. How dope! I am psyched about moving on to the emotion section, which nowadays is more relevant than ever. Cabin fever has taken its toll and enabled aganactesis to boil over the edge. “What on the universe gave birth to you? You asscrack,” unleashed...

Prothesis — Scapa Language Advisors
Figures of Speech –– Distortion: Prothesis. Prothesis is a phonetic concept that must of my elementary students struggle with. The problem is mostly a vestige of Old Spanish circa ‘Cantar de Mil Cid,’ which came before the consonant and vowel readjustment that kicked off modern Romance langu...

Proparalepsis — Scapa Language Advisors
Figures of Speech –– Distortion: Proparalepsis. The world of color is one of the most enticing yet complex organisms that I have ever put some thought on; its complexity has bewildered scientists, artists, poets, athletes, politicians, activists, mathematicians, physicists, doctors, lawyers, cra...
