Anglo-French lusard, muscular part of the arm, from the original.

am I the only one recognizes that if you take (the word) "Latin"

and remove the L you get "atin" or "at in" as in I'm "at in Hell"?

or that if you take "animal" and reverse it, remove the L (AGAIN!!

- the "L"!!!) you get "anima"? What is "at in anima LL"? I am 

positive the reference is to "atonement" in "Hells" (or the El, a

popular name for an elevated railway)  (somewhat the same as we

fall towards a gushing end among the applecarts below). Hells,

Halls, Hills, Hulls, but the Holes and Wholes, one filling the other.

DO YOU SEE WHERE I AM GOING, DO YOU? It's like this:

Qanon = Kanon = Cannon; one queues for the El, does one knot?

Oh and by the way I'm the first to point out, I am sure that LIVE 

is EVIL backwards, that DOG is GOD, that VILE and VEIL are

in there somewhere. Speaking of Diogenese lacertus,  D. Lizard,

- note there is no relationship at all and THAT is the relationship.
