The briefing sheet put forward the idea that the origins of language where irrational and of a magical nature. This got me thinking that words are symbol systems which are far removed from the potency of the thing they define.
I want to present a dictionary which defines a language in a more illuminating way than the symbol systems which we use, i.e words.
I came up with the idea of defining my language with the medium of water and how my chosen things react or move within it.
