"An'amụ aka ikpiri na nka.”
Editorial:
The peculiarities of Arthur's speech include a kind of subsumption (sic) of
the letters depicting negation. The sense is is An'amụ = Anaghị amụ i.e (One doesn't or
generally speaking ... You don't ... ). So that the characters [ghị] which typically denote or
depict negation are subsumed in the whole sense and carriage of Arthur's speaking
and writing. A truly beautiful construct.
