i do like to know that. in the story that Glide came from, there is much about the period (2000 years in the past of the present of the story) about the origin of the language, and hence the game 'the dance of death' and hence the whole death dancer culture. and much back and forth between original glide as gestural and its evolut ion into mazes of glyphs, and the gameboard. many opinions exist, of course! diana
