Translating "fluid mode" into Anglish as "flowing mood"

playing around with some Anglish stuff (English w French/Latin/Greek removed) and found myself thinking instead of "fluid mode" one could have "flowing mode", and the gerund feels beautifully dereifying there

but it turns out! "mode" is of French origin... so is "manner" "way" goes back to Old English, but feels somewhat ambiguous (although this approach is used elsewhere) huh! seems like "mood" shows up in Old English! and was "a much more vigorous word". and more subjective

okay, "flowing mood" it is. I fucking love it. feels way more alive & first-person than "fluid mode" also a bit less jargony, more intuitive (which can be a downside if it makes people think they already understand when they don't, but what if they dooo already understand 😉🤯)

for people missing context on what "fluid mode" is such that I would translate it, see @Meaningness's page here 👇 (David—I'm curious what you think of "flowing mood") meaningness.com/fluidity-previ…
