English (n.1)
"people of England; the speech of England," noun use of Old English adjective Englisc (contrasted to Denisc, Frencisce, etc.), "of or pertaining to the Angles," from Engle (plural) "the Angles," the name of one of the Germanic groups that overran the island 5c., supposedly so-called because Angul, the land they inhabited on the Jutland coast, was shaped like a fish hook (see angle (n.)). Reinforced by Anglo-French Engleis.
So English formed from the angles of creation, leading out into the fluid waters, the destinations and experiences encountered, captured into form through the word. The words that lead to these places, experiences, these places. The land and word received the 'food' from these places, retained the knowledge of these places. The land of angles, the name of the land is the name of the word, the language, and so the word is one with the land. The land in the shape of a 'fish hook'.
Or the letter J, as a fish hook.
hmmm, what is a fish-hook J, lemmie see here
J - (programming language), retains all language into a dimensionless space, to use align, reform, etc, visuals, etc....
