I mearly used the elements as an example of how the system works when forming
new glyphs for different concepts. The list given was by no means ment to be
extensive. A while back I wrote (and then proptly lost) a "short" list of
approx. 150-200 "core words/word forming elements" upon which eveerything
else could be expanded and/or modified. Blood {'Iw} was one of those "core
words", though it shared a meaning of "spirit" and "passion" with {tIq}.
