  Swiss publisher Lars Müller had the ingenious idea to publish my »[Genesis](https://www.juligudehus.net/en/genesis)« in five languages, all together in one book. After all, the biblical text is the same in every language!

To coincide with this edition, I replaced some of my pictograms with others. The ladle that I had used as a symbol for the German title was replaced by a hand on a light switch, as the metaphor and synonym of ladling and creating, »schöpfen«, only works in German. The icon of the gesture for »very good« – thumb and index finger tips put together, the other three fingers splaying out – means something vulgar and insulting to Italians. I therefore kept the internationally familiar thumbs up. I only learned much later that this gesture too symbolises something offensive in another culture (I’m afraid I forget which one).

All of this made clear to me that an internationally, unambiguously comprehensible Icon Esperanto would involve an inordinate amount of effort. Meanwhile, however, I developed a very different approach. You can find out more about it [here](http://tuqtuli.com/).

 

Ofschoon het gebod geen beelden te snijden met voeten wordt getreden biedt dit boek vermakelijke stof tot nadenken.

Maybe this booklet at some time in the future will be a kind of a »Rosetta stone«, as the sequences of pictograms are being translated into five languages, and can comfortably be decoded. A nice idea for those who love riddles, language, and stimulating puzzle games.
