@caitlinrgreen@PeritiaEditors CO seems very compilatory. I am surprised that we don't have more individual episodes preserved separately1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@caitlinrgreen@tomod14 definitly. That’s how I feel about Longes mac nUislenn. Its effect depends on the audience knowing the tradition1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
