This dictionary is for items that inhabit the grey area between sound and words. For use in my study of Gut Musicology, we are creating the Pidgin language for this area - making a way for the two distinct camps to communicate. We are at the crossroads of words and sounds, and by relating them to an intermediary - in this case, a feeling - we can open a dialog between the two.

For the vocabulary, I've chosen feelings associated with the "together vs. alone" dichotomy explored in my Family Discourse, in particular, the good and bad feelings represented by the extreme cases of both sides of the dichotomy.
