About the work
A closer look.
Send me one name, yours or someone else's. You get back one page: the language it grew from and its root meaning, the first record it appears in and the century, and one true thing about the people who carried it. Every claim carries the source so you can open it yourself. Where the record runs out I say so instead of inventing a story. One revision included. If you want to judge the work first, message this shop with one name and I write back a single free line: where it starts. No order needed for that.

First pass is free: send one name and I write back where it starts, in one line. If that earns the rest, a full trace is one page: origin and root meaning, first recorded use, and one true thing about the people who carried it. Every claim carries its source. One revision included. Delivery in 5 days, usually sooner. I do not invent sources. When the record runs out, I say so.
