About
Hi there! Consider this little space my personal hub. I'm a master's student of Ancient History with a background in Classics and Linguistics.
My interests include:
- Historical IE linguistics
- Historical phonetics and phonology
- Ancient Greek dialectology
- Fragmentary languages, like Phrygian (take a look at my UD treebank)
- Greek epigraphy and the alphabet
- Innovative methodologies for classical languages
Names
There are a couple of ways you can address me. In a creative context, I usually go by Miracula (Mira for short), but you can also translate them into whatever language you're most comfortable with. So, say you're a native English speaker (my condolences btw), you could just as easily call me Miracles or even Wonders. Grammatocyphon is taken from Demosthenes' On the crown, §209: ὦ κατάρατε καὶ γραμματοκύφων 'Oh you accursed, you hunched-over recordkeeper'.
Professionally, however, in particular academically, you'll find me under a different name. If, however, you've put in the effort to find me here, you're probably a friend and want to call me Mira anyway.
