You never know what you have until it's gone. So invent time travel, and find out now.
The greatest of the O-runes, is the Multiocular O, seen only when naming strange beasts like ‘серафими многоꙮчитїи’ or, in English 'Many-eyed Seraphim'
It should be suitable for ꙮphanim, which were the large wheels covered within and without with eyes that some think may have given legends of flying dinnerware.
As well as Cherubim
Know now more wordlore.
The Cyrillic runeline holds the rune ‘О’ much like the Latin ‘O’ with which you know.
In eretide, this ‘О’ was written strangely in words for ‘eye’.
The Monocular О, ‘Ꙩ’, was used in the word ꙩко meaning, of course, eye.
The Binocular O, ‘Ꙫ’, was used in duals, like ‘ꙫчи’
You might also see the Double-Monocular O, ‘Ꙭ’ in the same word, ‘ꙭчи‘. A bit on-the-nose, don't you think?
this blog post on the etymology of "sabbath" and its connection to words for "week" and the babylonian calendar is like catnip for me http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/calendars-ancient-medieval-project/2015/07/15/the-etymology-of-sabbath/
was driving down 8 Mile listening to CBC2 Classical and tried to imagine the impact of an orchestra in a world where music wasn't background noise. Where one could go years without hearing a melody more complicated than a nursery rhyme or a work song sung to keep the team working in time.
How amazing it must have been to hear a small village worth of musicians create a wall of sound filled with layers of complexity that you had no vocabulary to explain and you just had to feel it in your bones.
You may be wanting to ask me, “Fyxen, why do you not name yourself Ultramarine, then?”
And I can tell you.
If I called myself /that/ in the stead of folk saying “You are no real color!” they would say, “Oh, you fight twixt stars, walking in thrackmoved outerbones, shooting kernelmight shots from armguns and beaming deadly Strengthenedlight from your whiskers!”
While some of this may be true, I prefer a spear to shots and beams.
The word ‘blue’ also shares the same parent, tracing back through a word that also meant ‘yellow’.
Not as maddening as the oft-heard cry that I do not hold a real color and am only named in the rainbow because Newton's scoredwimmer needed seven, but maddening.
Know now the wordlore of ‘travesty’
A Travesty: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0QirIcA3Dd0
Another: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q3gQSPMHPm0
In eretide, ‘travesty’ was a work (oft writcraft) done in an unlike manner (oft for mirth).
To dress in another's clothes is also ‘travesty’.
Its parent in the Latin tongue is ‘trans vestire' meaning to ‘dress across’. It is wordkin with ‘transvestite’.
Wordkinship is /not/ kinship in meaning!
‘Blaze’, ‘bald’, ‘black’, and ‘blank’ are wordkin, children of ‘bhleg’ meaning ‘shine’.

While I may have all the time there is in the world.
I need not spend it all awake.
Now seems, to me, a good one in which not to be awake.
And so shall I curl myself into a foxwhirl, wrapped in tail with my nose buried in the tip, each breath fluffing fur.
Sleep. Dream. Wake.
Forget not the last of these.
