Urbit defines pronunciations for all of its sigils with the goal of enabling verbal communication of its forms; however, it makes no attempt to be sensible language, its more of just random english syllables that compose without too much harshness, justified by the use of greek letters in mathematics (part of their value is they have little/no context to bring in, so you can freely build your own)



I look forward to seeing what we learn from urbit ten years from now. 0=true? Crazy sigils, three ways?

I just went back to their website to remember the special name they used for distributed computation, and they have introduced /even more new words and layers!/ Godspeed, you.
