Examples

“In 1936 my class consisted of six students, all of whom had possessed enough curiosity to enroll in a course with the strange name⟳ of "Speech Pathology." We explored the subject together, a modus operandi which still constitutes the base⟳ structure⟳ of the course. But then we could talk⟳ informally with much commentary, prediction and recall⟳ as well as nonsense They used to refer⟳ to it as their “sharing time.” Usually it was more of a septalogue than a dialogue, but the mutual identification of student and teacher was always present⟳.”

“His claim⟳ to be doing nothing more than laying bare the moral teachings of the prophets and apostles is belied by his replacement of the old Decalogue with a new septalogue.”
