Tabula Rasa: Two more Logos translated

Okay, just a quick update to all the translating work being done over those Tabula Rasa Logos. The one with the grouped houses translates to “Civilization/Community.” Obvious enough as a Logos symbol: they’re houses. Can’t get any easier than that (Guess that makes a single house symbol “house”, right?).

And the second was a bit harder: “Ancestor.” It did have the Logos common to all people-related Logos (the anthropomorphic stick figure), but maybe it was that hat that was the final clincher. You know, to hide the shiny bald heads of the really, really old.

(Although to be serious about it, the hat does tend to have more than just a utilitarian role; the right hat also symbolizes authority, power, or position of respect – for example, the officer’s cap, a crown, or a tribal elder’s headdress. Hence the term, “to be double-hatted” when occupying more than one authoritative post. Just a bit of trivia there).

Well, that’s two for two to the library.
