FW 1.20-21 --HCE as whale--

synopsis: leaves of time — four entries from the annals


FDV: "The Annals tell how
1132 AC Men wondern as Wallfisch and. Bloaty wares." →
"The Annals bring how
1132 AB Men like to ants wondern all over on a groot Wide Wallfisch
and that lay in a Runnel. [Blubber]{Blubby} wares [in]{upat} Eblanium."

we get an imperfectly reflecting timeline: 1132-566-0-566-1132

the modifiers on these numbers changed mysteriously from:
AC AC - AD AD →
AB BA - OD DO →
AD AD - AD AD
