December theme: Religion 📿
Introduction
This is the family that no matter how long I work on it, it's never done. That's what I get for trying to explore the possibility that two extremely important and productive roots may be connected: *h₂er-, related to cosmic order, and *h₃reǵ-, related to societal order.
This iss originally the transitional post between December 2017's Religion theme and January 2018's Noble Titles theme.
