Two Words for the Same Field

Soil Naming and Plot Lending Between Two Villages Sharing One Valley Floor

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions has cultivators from two neighbouring villages name the soils of the same 96 valley-floor plots, one village by colour and material, the other by how the ground behaves. The vocabularies coincide on the sandy and white ground but divide the black three ways, and over seven seasons land crossed the valley almost only where both villages would call it the same thing.
