That's pretty interesting. I've never seen it (in Kannada) though I supposed it could happen there too. Are these a couple of one-offs or how regular is this? Could it be analogy with kαΉ›ti/kruti?

Aside: Have you seen/tried that google(?) product that takes a pdf and creates an audio podcast with two millennial-sounding hosts discussing the content? It's wild and actually pretty good

Same. That's a ringing endorsement. Will check

RIP Searle, I took a class with him as an UG, unremarkable. Didn't realize (as an 18yo) he was a big deal or possibly a predator

IIRC he parked his karmann ghia on a main drag on campus. The only other prof I knew who could do that was the guy who wrote the O-chem textbook. A Ferrari

Reading about tongue muscle fibers: "As the research involved only autopsy specimens, it was exempt from consent requirements." Take that IRB!

Wouldn't this be something more like an incident wave and so would have direction? It looks great and beautiful animation!
