 Beste Elsie en Theo:

Onderwerp: LL-L "Lexicon"

Ek kan my vererg dat ek nie die 'Eugene' Marais gesnap het nie, my keudigter
in Afrikaans.

Terloops, ek praat onder korreksie, maar is kohl nie 'n vorm van kopererts
nie? Daar is myne ontdek in Swaziland wat tientalle duisend jare gelede glo
bewerk is vir 'kohl', waar kopererts ontgin word. Die ertsoplossing is eens
in Egipte met gestook affineer, en in gelyke wyse toe die alkahol uit gebrou
uit. Om die rede het ons die woord alkahol uit die Arabies 'al kohl'.

Ek dink aan u stelling, Elsie, oor die snoesige, langdurige hitte van
swart-doringhout en die hoflikheid daarbyvorbonde. Vir seker is dit wat saak
maak, want is die stem van die storieverteller asook die danslied en die
versoek om haar te hoor nie saam met die jagterswederkoms (iedereen in
teendeel nie-towenaarlike verdrywe) heen nie?

Dankie vir die gedig en die ontdekking.

Die uwe,
Mark
