yes, in a different way.  i dream about the glide glyphs--and wonder when i
will cross the bridge and start thinking in glide.  it's happening a little--i
was writing out several paragraphs of heavy-duty language theory and realized
i could say the whole thing with about 4 glyphs, properly arranged.  i'm going
