Ebb Ogham 85v
Organic Communication and Knowledge
The inner circle starting at 9 o’clock.
Maturing tiny woman later descendant *in the North to counsel, advise a small length (for) them to read lines (ropes) here woven fabric **Athenian***organic
*in the North could be phonetically translated to small amount of time.
**Connotation for Athenian is: Wise Knowing. Word as written, sounds more like the word for churl, meaning peasant.
***Organic could be translated to golden eight, possibly having to do with the seven sisters reference or the segments of four in the image each having a double meaning as the text reads.
Overlap between script lines and rope. There is a notable visual and auditory overlap between the words Ogham and Oakum.
There is an overlap between musical reed and the word read.
The theme of filtering repeats here as well. As we see in the Alkali cycle and several points in the natal sections, description of filtering. Like the processes depicted and explained, the language has also gone through some kind of filtering. A reduction and condensation. A linguistic resin or medicine, so to speak. Here in the center of these four individuals, we have a drain, with Ogham ebbing, leaving behind only “what is needed”(73v)
Middle English reden, ireden, “to counsel, advise,” also “to read,” from Old English rædan, gerædan (West Saxon), redan, geredan (Anglian) “to advise, counsel, persuade; discuss, deliberate; rule, guide; arrange, equip; forebode; to read (observe and apprehend the meaning of something written), utter aloud (words, letters, etc.); to explain; to learn through reading; to put in order.”
We have the themes large and small scale and the theme of musical instrument.

virgin(n.)
c. 1200, “unmarried or chaste woman noted for religious piety and having a position of reverence in the Church,” from Anglo-French and Old French virgine “virgin; Virgin Mary,” from Latin virginem (nominative virgo) “maiden, unwedded girl or woman,” also an adjective, “fresh, unused,” probably related to virga “young shoot,” via a notion of “young” (compare Greek talis “a marriageable girl,” cognate with Latin talea “rod, stick, bar”).
The meaning “young woman in a state of inviolate chastity” is recorded from c. 1300. Also applied since early 14c. to a chaste man. The meaning “naive or inexperienced person” is attested from 1953.
