Namely, 6


NAMELY

EP-oh-nimz

a word based on or derived from a person's name.
First Known Use: mid-19th century

“What’s in a Name?”
Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, 2.2

6: braille: a writing system comprising raised dots that represent letters. It allows blind or visually impaired people to read. (Louis Braille, 1809–52, himself blind since childhood, invented the system still in use today; first use of the word in 1853.)

She learned to read and write in Braille—
Determined she would never fail.

She mastered it—determined to
Succeed in what she wished to do.

She wrote some books—they were a hit.
(She never really bragged of it.)

An inspiration she’s become—
Her life’s become a vibrant drum

Whose beat excites all those who hear—
Its message, animating, clear.
