Goblin Glyphs Decoded as transmission

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, transmission is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

Ancient goblin folklore describes transmission as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. transmission is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on codex

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on codex: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to transmission. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. transmission has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
