About the book >.>.> Dominant sapients Tau Ceti 8 noted for the practice of fru ment an art form combining aspects of Terrestrial hog calling: Martian slipping involuntarily upon the ice and Uranian droj (lovingly nurturing the growth of slowly maturing crystals by en- folding them in all eight of one’s limbs). Frument an activity highly valued by the Glotolog is performed (according to official histories of the practice) almost exclusively by the Whelk-finned (or “Pal-Mal”) Glotolog. Extra-Glotologgi students of the art have found evidence of considerable contributions made by Crescent- finned Spotty or Mottled individuals but historians of frument (who are almost always of the Whelk-finned form) tend to either ignore such efforts or condemn them as mediocre lacking in structure of technical interest merely or above all na poi fru- menti (“lacking in the proper spirit of frument”). Without the all- necessary poi frumenti according to one famous Glotologgi critic frument loses its artistic character and becomes “merely a lot of inartistic hollering all the while belly-whopping about in a meaningless and foolish manner on uncontrollably slippery sur- faces” (Frument Kronologa q.v.).
