The Three-Value Logic of Aymara.
"The Runes of Weland's Sword
A smith makes me
To betray my Man
In my first fight.
To gather Gold
At the world's end
I am sent.
The Gold I gather
Comes into England
Out of deep Water.
Like a shining Fish
Then it descends
Into deep Water.
It is not given
For goods or gear,
But for The Thing.
The Gold I gather
A King covets
For an ill use
The Gold I gather
Is drawn up
Out of deep Water.
Like a shining Fish
Then it descends
Into deep Water.
It is not given
For goods or gear,
But for The Thing."
--Rudyard Kipling via FGR
“In English, the past is said to be behind us, while the future lies ahead. In the Aymara language of Bolivia, however, the positions are reversed: the past is seen as in front, while the future—perhaps because it is impossible to see it—is always spoken of as if it were behind.” –@HaggardHawks
