if SWORDS = WORDS, presumably the constant 1/2ing of blades has some connection to John’s tendency to split compound words so as to obfuscate their identities? and Dirk’s “unbreakable katana” would be the fundamental indivisible concept, fitting Dirk’s avid interest in Platonism…
presumably this is also why the unbreakable katana is secretly one of the “zilly” weapons; zillium being modeled after a diagram of the quarks inside a fundamental particle like this one?
