@pastthepixels why is rune pointing to theta. also yes have you seen the game characters of course it’s therian

@sodiboo the theta symbol is a rune. i say this as someone who has taken university level math courses. everything is a bunch of ancient runes

@pastthepixels deltatheta

i never played deltarune or undertale btw

@pastthepixels I disagree. I feel like theta is not a rune. I say this as someone who has a special interest in linguistics and just spent an entire hour researching the topic. runes are letters of runic alphabets; theta is a letter of an alphabet but it is from the Greek alphabet. the runic family of alphabets are related to the Greek alphabet, and while you could perhaps claim that Θ (theta) is a rune because ᚦ (thurisaz) has the same sound value and that sound is two steps derived from Θ (at least according to this chart); I feel like this is stretching it because two letters being related does not necessarily make them the Same. they are too far apart, look completely different, and are in entirely different alphabets, so even though one is influenced by the other, they are not The Same Letter and therefore Θ is not a rune

@pastthepixels also in my research I found a 10 year old YouTube video of a guy talking about the meaning of the rune. this doesn’t cover the etymology so it’s entirely unrelated to “is theta a rune” but it was a cool find I think

@sodiboo @pastthepixels the go programming language begs to differ

@sodiboo oh.. sorry i was uhh trying to.. make some stupid joke how it feels like one. sorry. that’s cool though!

@pastthepixels yeah “rune” also has the connotation of like “magic runes” which is not an actual language but can be used to refer to almost any symbol really. I get that this is what you were going for HOWEVER I also thought it was an interesting question to research as if you meant runic script and wanted to present my findings to the class

@jade @pastthepixels the fuck you mean Go . what does Go have to do with this.. elaborate at once

@pastthepixels i think we need to decide if it's objectum first

@sodiboo @pastthepixels char is called rune

@jade @sodiboo why (/hj)

@pastthepixels @sodiboo no clue.

@jade @pastthepixels ohhh this is familiar . I think I’ve seen this in line at least one other language too

@sodiboo @pastthepixels that’s a lot of words …
