Comic question

[edit]

Is this comic https://abstrusegoose.com/153 flipped as part of its gag or is that just some sort of error? Duomillia (talk) 00:44, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello D. Yes it is part of the gag. The title "Doppelgänger" is part of the giveaway (and another part of the joke) for this. MarnetteD|Talk 00:50, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And it's also fitting that "abstruce" is similar to "incomprehensible". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots01:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You see? 'Abstruce' is another AmE spelling we right-pondians mostly don't know about! {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.125.75.224 (talk) 10:18, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Funny. No, I just mis-typed it.[1]Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots12:21, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anthems and keys

[edit]
  • In what key is this anthem was played, based on this? I want to make the sheet music, but I can't find a good key.
  • According to this article, the song was played in two versions : ...the complete version of Kaba Ma Kyei includes both the anthem in traditional Burmese style and Western-style. Can someone find the music sheet including the traditional Burmese style?--Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 15:59, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't find an answer in the usual places, but it might be worth mentioning that the "Burmese style" likely uses Lanna 5-note scale. —2606:A000:1126:4CA:0:98F2:CFF6:1782 (talk) 21:18, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
