Hi Lorraine,

Pris Campbell tested this challenge, and has an iPad. She was able to COPY and PASTE "Blo͞o"

Someone else who states they are not keyboard literate is being helped by a fellow haiku poet.
This could be fun, to ask a friend to copy and paste "Blo͞o"

warmest regards,
Alan

Why Blo͞o Outlier Journal?

Let's see!

Blo͞o origins


blo͞o is related to Old English blǣwen 'blue' and Old Norse blár 'dark blue'

blo͞o is associated with depth and stability, symbolizing trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, truth, and heaven.

Studies have also shown it slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect

blo͞o is a rare trilogy or trifecta of words that can be an adjective, noun, or verb in its immediateness and can be invisible to the naked eye.

*adjective: blo͞o

*comparative adjective: blo͞oer
*superlative adjective: blo͞oest
Denoting one of three colors of a quark which are any of a number of subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge, postulated as building blocks of hadrons and an appropriately colored one at that!


.

*noun: blo͞o

*plural noun: blo͞os

The famed Blue Morpho butterfly has the largest wing span and is the most quickened...


.

*verb: blo͞o

*3rd person present: blo͞os;

*past tense: blo͞od;


*gerund or present participle: blo͞oeing;
*gerund or present participle: blo͞oing


To make or become blo͞o as in the blo͞oing of splashed items or the blurring of quickened blo͞o dragonflies.
