Episode 5: "The Days of the Week‪"‬ Tapissary Talk

This week, I’ve written some phrases about the days of the week in Tapissary’s ‘Sunrise’ style. A frequently used Art text style (called the ‘Sunrise’ style) in Tapissary is generally written from right-to-left as in Hebrew or Arabic. Reading right-to-left is called the ‘sunrise’ mode because your eyes travel from the east margin of a page to the west margin. Many of the çelloglyphs in sunrise mode have elongated shapes that differ from the forms in the ‘sunset’ mode (written from left-to-right as in English). The elongated forms of the sunrise mode allow the writer to build up a design within the basic rules of layering: right-to-left, then top-to-bottom. In the following text of the film, most of the phrases are double layered. A couple examples show triple layering. The days of the week in Tapissary: Monday - MonnidiTuesday - TsëxxiWednesday - WenndiThursday - ThissxriFriday - FxemattiSaturday - SataxxiSunday - Zbaxxcéti
