Famicase 2025: A Dictionary of Modern ℲʚꝾⱵꝲese

Another year, another Famicase. This time my submission, THE現代蟐挧語辞典, is a callback to my ghost characters article, using them for good effect.

The description:

勉強・日常生活・観光・専門家に必要な3万語以上収録！ 最近人気の旅先である蟐挧特異区域の言葉のみならず、 地図・習慣・祭事・物理法則の違いの徹底紹介も。

初回限定版にはレシピ集の小冊子も付録。 お家で孵りたての壥々で妛槞作りにチャレンジしよう！

※閠駲郡と妛区方言は別売りソフトで対応。

Or in English:

Contains over 30,000 words necessary for study, daily life, tourism, or specialists! This includes not only the language of popular travel destination of the ℲʚꝾⱵꝲ Special Region, but also detailed coverage of maps, customs, rituals, and differences in the laws of physics.

The limited first edition includes a recipe booklet. Try making ʅƪꭍ𝼍 with freshly hatched ꝅꜿꜿꝭ at home!

The dialect of ꝴȢƨ County and Ꝅꝟꝷ Ward is covered in a separate cartridge.

Of all my entries, this has by far been the most difficult to translate into English.

The dictionary is one I found discarded shortly after moving to Japan, and the cowry shell I recently found on a trip to Miura.

This is my tenth submission, and the 20th anniversary of the event itself, so there's a special booklet this year in addition to the usual catalog of entries. The physical exhibition continues until the end of the month, so be sure to check it out if you're in Tokyo. Ψ
