<avva> From the traditional annual October lecture of Andrei Zaliznyak on the graffiti found over the past year:
<avva> "I will start with the grammar that was found yesterday... This is such a square of about 5 in 5 centimeters, and this is what the text is there:"
<avva> "ѧdogsѧ"
<avva> "Well, of course, here is this division into words: ѧ puppyѧ “I am a puppy.” On top of this square there are holes for attachment. (Laughter and applause) "
That such things were not alien to the Novgorod writers on the breast, says the letter No. 199, belonging to Ontim, - so you are absolutely right, it is a greeting from Ontim, - who, having drawn the beast (I will not reproduce it, as he did), wrote on this beast the following inscription: "I am a beast." Now we have a second such literature: this puppy, therefore, decided to announce to us who he is.

<gimli_m> Hm. How do I correctly write "I am crude"?
