  • Interesting, I never heard about that system.
    During my reply to another comment I stumbled upon another issue with how I thought pauses could work, so maybe instead of pause they distinguished dashes from dots by designating different knocking surfaces (e.g. wall for dash and wood(like bedframe or doorframe) for them?

    The goal would be to produce different sounds so e.g. dot = tak and dash = tuk. That way only pauses would be for switching the surface and for intermission between phrases


  • So, for dash they could have put pauses on both sides, maybe?
    Few examples:
    a) -·· => Tak. Tak, tak.
    b) ··- => Tak,tak. Tak.

    Then only option that wouldn’t work is -·-.

    Other option, that would allow all combinations, is if they devised solution where dash and dot knocks used different surfaces to produce different sound. E.g. for dash on a wall and for dot on wod (like a bed frame).

    Yeah, I mean by the point we reached the rickety part from pic we were tired (unfortunately I don’t have a good pic to show that path to that plato is also made of staircase).

    For our tour weather was also great (ignoring the high humidity), from 10 day we had only one downpour and it was in Kandy area (mountains). Unfortunatly with packed schedule of our tour on same day we also saw Polonnaruwa, by the dinner time we were in Bambulla and in the morning we had to be in Peradeniya. When I saw the twin boulder I whished that we had time to visit it I imagine view on King’s palace was special.
