You're sounding strangely Bubby there, sionnach.
bob shot my pop and now he's dod.
Haha! Great minds think alike. I did the same thing when I was setting up the puzzle. ;oD
It's complicated and confusing, especially when you start fooling around with other manipulations in the mirror. For example bob can become dod, pop or '909' depending on how you flip the surface it is written on to present it to the mirror! See flipped image v. flopped image here.
I thought the perception in the mirror was the point. And to demonstrate the hold that Wordie/oroboros have on me, I wrote bob on a piece of paper and went in to the bathroom to check! That's where dod comes from. Oh well, they say mirrors don't lie but mine's been telling quite a few porkies since I passed thirty.
The translation is about the horizontal axis only. Look in a mirror and touch your right ear with your right hand. Apparently (in the mirror) your left hand touches your left ear, but it is in fact still your right hand touching your right ear. It is in this sense that I reject dod. BTW, I love your definition for dod!
More: if you get on an airplane and the flight attendant says your seat is on the right, does she mean airplane right or your right? For aircrews the designation of right and left refers to the airplane right and left, which is opposite to what the passenger sees on boarding...just like a mirror image.
On which planet?
Mirrors swap up for down, not right for left. dod is a further manipulation, therefore incorrect.
That would be dod. All we need is a meaning for it now. How about: the process of extinction, tail first, of flightless birds.
bob?
Here's a clue if you need it.
