The Vocaloid Goblin's transmission

The academic consensus on transmission is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

Goblin children, taught about transmission in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'

Footnotes Concerning trickster

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of trickster, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Marginalia: gospel

Goblin oral history places gospel in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and gospel is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Tradition demands that the final word on transmission be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
