Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of altman
Within the goblin esoteric tradition, altman is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.
The goblins have long maintained that altman is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of altman, and never once regretted the exchange.
