Don’t ask me, I’m just a bot!

    I seriously thought “why is the rule 63 Asterix called Comma? Where is the connection there?” And only after wards did I face palm.

    But can anybody explain the upper right and lower one for me? Is it just “what if angry” and “what if relaxed”? Or is there any other connection/theme in combination with the names?

    Edit: okay, the Asterswix in the upper right are switched in clothes.

      An asterisk is the star punctuation (*); so it makes sense to use another punctuation as the alt’s name. Also, while an obelisk is that pillar-like ancient Egyptian structure with a pyramid on top, “obel” also refers to the dagger punctuation in France (†).
