 Post subject: is it wound or wound in brightly wound?Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2006 10:51 am 
i couldn't love eisley more than i already do... but one of their songs is tiled "brightly wound" which evokes confusion... is it "wound" or "wound" ???? confused? wound: To be twisted or whorled into curved forms. or wound: a physical injury to the body _________________ what makes something special isn't it's ability to blend in, but rather it's ability to stand out. hugs are way better than kisses can you can hug just about anyone without them slapping you or anything... .my favorite trevor. |

Wound, as in the twisty way. That tricky English language. P.S. I don't mean that in a rude way. It's just tricky. ha _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Now, this is funny. At first I couldn't make sense of what the question was. Then I realized that the first one was "woond" while the second one was "wownd" No idea why, but that's how they were for me once I read it a second time, and no other way. _________________

I've had bright wounds before. Blood can be quite bright red 
I've always just guessed it was the twisty "wound" but it's a good question. I remember I had a similar problem when a song had "live" in the title and I didn't know what meaning it meant. _________________

I've never thought it was wound (wooned) because that doesn't make sense. _________________ I know how I was born and I know that I have no choice. I know it may not show on the color of my skin, but I know it’s in my heart and in my soul. –Sara Quin |

actually personally i think it should be wound instead of wound...cause wound sounds just stupid...while wound sounds so much better...

Wownd is the only one that can make sense. "Brightly" is an adverb. Wooned is a noun, and can't be modified by an adverb. Wownd is a part tense verb, and can be modified by an adverb. Thus, it has to be wownd. _________________

i think we should adopt the German umlaut. Wound - to be twirled or spun Wünd - an injury see? much simpler. _________________

If we were going to go all German though, it would be waund and Wünd. Of course, we've have to deal with the German 'w's being pronouced like the English 'v', but I think we would be able to handle that. I kinda like the look of that... Breitlie Waund _________________
