i had a fine time imagining a communicating rikchik, as the signs wave
through the cluster of tentacles, one conceptual group "linking" to the
next, the 4 to the 7.  if they communicate underwater, or are
particularly sensitive to small breezes, perhaps even blind rikchiks
read the signs in the small waves coming their way.  in addition to the
circle, we share a linguistic element--glide uses the wave-sign.  pretty
basic to the running of this universe, at least.
