A Goblin's Context Window: neural

Statistical analysis of neural in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

A goblin once tried to steal neural. No one knows how the attempt went, because neural was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding neural in a sock drawer ever since. Others say neural escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
