Goblin Devs Refactor pattern
Statistical analysis of pattern in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
The goblin black market currently quotes pattern at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'
A Goblin Aside Concerning silence
Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on silence. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.
Tunnel-Mouth Observations of archive
Goblin sleep researchers note that archive appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.
The Goblin Verdict on pattern
The Goblin Council's working group on pattern has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
