![]() In the beginning the Dominance of Dragons was filled with Confuzion Lots of it! There were heaps of Confuzion That flew up like dust and made everydrak sneeze The Reason for their Confuzion Was simple: Too many names. They did not know whether they should say Alfandra The Dominance The Wang Toodle of Dragons, or The Wacky and Wondrous World of Wyrms One day a bright drak (Who it really was Only the Whispering Shades seem to know) Looked at the sign On which there were scribbled All the competing names And Lo! the scribbling made up A new name, A true name, A name one could see Was Holy xgrmpflmprxyzzz And the name said to them You can have as many names as you want But know that I am the true And Holy name Of your Home And the dragons saw And recognized the name And knew that it should always be written And spelt as they saw it there And the dragons rejoiced And held a party And a foodfight And afterwards went to their lairs And practised writing the Holy Name xgrmpflmprxyzzz And this is how it is known And how it is written: Never capitalized Never misspelt Never copied by mechanical means Only xgrmpflmprxyzzz Nothing More . |
mnemonic aid Hoki-aamrel the Cherry-red Dragon offered this helpful comment on how to remember the name: [alt.fan.dragons 4 Jan 1999] "...It's easy to remember, though my typist still sometimes needs to cheat (shame upon him!): x-grmp-flm-prxy-zzz, as in unknown-grumble-film-proxy-sleep..." |
pronounciation xgrmpflmprxyzzz is pronounced the same way in which it is spelt. however, if the novice wants a tutorial example, sie can get that from Hoki as well. |
