No Longer Scriblet but Sibilant
This tumblr used to be called The Scriblet. I changed it coz it sounded tiny n weak.
It’ll be called The SIBILANT. No philosophical reasons. Just sounded unique.
Well, actually i cought the word from the gorgeous Laksmi Pamuntjak’s translation of the briliant Goenawan Muhamad’s poem ‘Adegan’ (the Scene).
seperti tempias hujan ——- like the sibilance of rain
I’m not sure if sibilance can be used as tempias tho.
