Translating the meaning/intent of God's communications into any of mankind's languages
would be a trial I imagine.
I do, and do not understand
what you mean by separating the terms 'words' and 'text.'

Perhaps it's like trying to pin down something as delicate as a butterfly's wing.
The more and more it's handled, it dissolves.

I suppose it's somewhat akin to having a large variety of words
that attempt to describe the many different shades and textures of snow,
where snow is thee enviroment.

How indeed could we scribe our own body language/eye contact/ pheromone shiftings?

I wonder if my 50 year old brain could learn Arabic. I would hope so.

As an aside/ I always thought I was dumb trying to learn math as a youngster in the USA.
The Iranian mathematics teacher I was blessed to have,
during an apprenticeship program
for tool and die making, had the ability to really...teach/translate/infuse/
/pull the veil back/ open the door/ to the gift of mathematics.
It was a beautiful awakening lightbulb happening,
for both the teacher & the student.

I remember this being touched upon somewhere earlier in this thread.
