My a drouvyas shap deffrans. Solyd compes ew. Thew keniver tû egwal. Hemm ew fygur gen dewdhek enep (dodecahedron). Ma dhe bub enep pemp tû egwal. En filosofy Grek hengovek tho an solyd ma perfeth rag “Kosmos” po an form riel a bederyans, bodh po tybyas Devîn. “Na wra kemeres foto a’n shap na,” emedh an gath. “Devîn o vy! Me ew dha Dhewgys. Ma dhe hedna dewdhek enep saw ma dhe vy naw bownans.” E’n pictour cabm ma nag ew an shap gen dewdhek enep “Tan” ha nag ew “Qwintessens” an shap gen ügens enep.
I found a different shape. It’s a regular solid. Every side is equal. This is a figure with twelve faces (a dodecahedron). Each face has five equal sides. In traditional Greek philosophy this solid was perfect for the “Kosmos” or the ideal form of Divine thought, will or idea. “Don’t take a photo of that shape,” said the cat. “I’m Divine! I am your Divinity. That has twelve faces but I have nine lives.” In this wrong picture the shape with twelve faces is not “Fire” and “Quintessence” is not the shape with twenty faces.
