  3. Summary

    "The Dai Bendu language was spoken by the members of the ancient Order of Dai Bendu on the frozen planet of Ando Prime. The name of the Je'daii Order was forged in that language."

    "Every language is like a one-of-a-kind species. It captures unique conceptualizations of the world and has its own ways of constructing words, phrases and sentences for communicating ideas. As we compare the words and structures of various languages, we come to a greater understanding of our world. (...) Language captures how we perceive the world around us and how we relate to one another, it defines who we are. The Mother tongue language we grow up with is the one used to express what is in our hearts; our heart language."

    "Studying language is invaluable for learning about other cultures and mapping their respective developments, histories, myths, customs, etc. Linguistics also helps us understand and document geographical /environmental influences, periods of migration/diaspora, origin of certain spiritual beliefs, etc. through the study of things like cognates, shared myths between cultures, language families, and tracking differences in word usage and dialects over a long period of time."

    Summary

    Magic School AU, Dark Academia

    After a doomed encounter with dimensional magic, Satoru Gojo has gotten himself trapped in the prison realm- and he used his favorite student, Jujustu Academy golden boy Yuuta Okkotsu, to help him do it.

    When social outcast Toge Inumaki finds Yuuta setting up camp in his library, he knows immediately that something is wrong. The unlikely pair decide to band together in order to save their beloved teacher, but time isn‘t on their side. They must work quickly to decode their teacher’s cryptic clues before the rest of the school discovers that Professor Gojo is missing and their window for rescue closes for good.

    A doomed halloween party, a mysterious special grade ring, and a promise to unravel a centuries-long curse later, Toge and Yuuta begin to realize that their bond might transcend the mission that first brought them together.
