Footnotes
elachistotero is a grammatical impossibility—the comparative form of the superlative elachistos ('the least')—yielding something like 'the leastest of all.' The deliberate ungrammaticality intensifies the self-abasement beyond what correct Greek allows. anexichniaston derives from ichnos ('footprint/track')—literally, what cannot be followed by its tracks; F.O.G renders it 'unsearchable,' F.O.G Message 'inexhaustible,' both reaching toward a depth that defeats all pursuit.
