Firstly, I didn't know who Inuits were. Thanks to Google search, I am aware now. An unpronounceable word for a familiar feeling :)

Interestingly you gave two classic book recommendations of men waiting for their eternal love. I have yet to read Fowles, therefore another name added to the neverending list.

Of women in waiting, there are many; however, the historic Penelope in the Odyssey comes to mind promptly. The modern retelling by Margaret Atwood called "The Penelopiad" is a gem worth exploring(or revisiting), for themes beyond waiting.

Cheers :)

My God! How did I miss Penelope! Thank you so much for reminding, and also for Penelopiad 🙂

I have written about two words from Inuits so far, before that I wasn’t aware of that culture, too. This is one of the best aspects of WoW, an opportunity to explore, for both its readers and the writer 🙂

Cheers :)

Thank you so much! What a beautiful thing to hear that you look forward to every issue! Even if I write all the posts mostly because I'm really interested, readers' appreciating highly encourages me, much like every human :)

Also, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, which means a lot to me.

I deeply agree. Without the creator's interest in the topic, no artistic production is worthy, and the reader understands the distinction instantly—at least I do.

Best wishes :)
