The '''Imθumăytil''' (CWdm: /imtʰuməjˈtil/, lit. 'Delvings' or 'Inquiries', Modern ''Imthumitil'') is a collection of stories, anecdotes, parables, songs, lectures and sermons, in [[Naeng/Classical|Classical Naeng]]. Some passages are in [[Tseer/Classical|Classical Tseer]]. | |||

*Scientific concepts? | |||

*Imperial commentators of the Imthumăytil should make all kinds of convoluted justifications of their doctrines in terms of preexisting myths and symbols | |||
Perhaps these are too mathy and mystical for Mărotłism but: | |||

Once, six children were in a round table. Master Brăwiid asked them: "How many of you are here?" | |||
While the others were still counting, one child replied: "Sixty-three: 6 individuals, 15 teams of 2, 20 teams of 3, 15 teams of 4, 6 teams of 5, and 1 team of 6." | |||
Now Master Brăwiid asked: "Well then, how many people will be there if another person enters?" | |||
The child said: "It is plain, Master: here we have all of the old teams, as well as another set of teams with the new person!" | |||
Master Brăwiid praised the child, saying, "This child has wisdom indeed." | |||

===Notes=== | |||
The notion of choosing subsets from six items may have been a metaphor for cooking. The Naeng recognized 6 basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, umami), and each combination is essentially a taste on its own. The mystic [[Verse:Tricin/Etsoj Jopah|Etsoj Jopah]] interpreted the parable as a recipe for building a just intonation scale from prime factors, thus introducing Combination Product Sets into Talman music. | |||
