Asses Bray and Zebras Bray, Butt Asses are Champ?

Note the following in regards to notable persons recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site whose surnames are additions to the recent “First and Last 2 Letters in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster:  

• Lynda Hale (1954 – February or March 2026) footballer                     (*hale)
• Chase Pistone (August 20, 1983 – March 2026) racing driver              (*pine)
• John P. Hammond, 83, American blues singer and guitarist                 (*hand)
• Claude Lacaze. (5 March 1940 – 28 Feb 2026) rugby (national team)   (*laze)
• John Homer Caldwell (Nov 28, 1928 – Feb 27, 2026) Olympic skier    (*call)
• Sonny Gibbs (Oct 25, 1939 – Feb 27, 2026) football  (Detroit Lions   (*gibs)
• Travis Wammack (Nov 1944 – Feb 27, 2026) rock and roll guitarist   (*wack)
• André Vanasse (March 6, 1942 – Feb 26, 2026) Canadian writer          (*vase)
• Vladimir Veber (20 July 1941 – 26 Feb 2026) football player               (*veer)

The woes provided via the above cluster are designed to form a cryptic communication.  Two words in particular — hale and call, are related via etymology: 

hale (v.) c. 1200, … from Old French haler "to pull, haul, tow, tug", from Proto-Germanic *halon "to call," from PIE root *kele- (2) "to shout." 

They are determined!!  My Tou sense worth— the words “hale” and “call” are cryptic ways of communicating “hello”— they are calling us to say that they are  coming out and communicating!!  The word “pine” generated from “Pistone” , … is another story.  Note this etymology:

pine (v.)Middle English pinen "cause to starve" , from *pīn (n.) "pain, torture, punishment,"(see penal). The intransitive sense of "to languish, waste away, be consumed with grief or longing,"

As well, the surname Pistone is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, providing us with several words: “stone” is an addition to the recent “Rock/Stone Theme” pattern cluster, … and then we also have words: “piston”,  “tone” “one” and “is” … , and of course there’s the cryptic phrase in Pistone — “pissed tone”.  So they’re calling to express that they are consumed with longing … and want us to note their pissed-off tone!!  Now the “hand”… that too can have several meanings, … butt, do note the “wack”… as in give our hand a whack, although “wack” today means “crazy person”.  And then we have “veer”— to turn,… as in we need to veer in the direction they want … the “wright” direction… as in no more laze. As to the word “vase” and “gibs”… not sure, butt vase being a container … could be symbolic.  So I put the question to Google, symbolism of a vase in hieroglyphs  , and AI provided an answer… that didn’t quite fit, butt immediately below was a wikipedia page for an ancient vase: Caylus vase

Note from the vases wiki page: 

Beyond its historical value as a dynastic artifact of Achaemenid Egypt, its quadrilingual inscription was also the key element in confirming the decipherment of Old Persian cuneiform by Grotefend, through the reading of the hieroglyphic part byChampollion in 1823.

It just felt “wright”, and we have a name, … and do note the “Champ” , so note from Champollion’s wiki page: 

Jean-François Champollion (23 December 1790 – 4 March 1832)

And now note his date of death— March 4, that brings me to the two other dates highlighted in the above list—  the two birthdays, Lacaze on  March 5 and Vanasse on March 6.  So now with Champollion’s date of death we get a perfect hand of three— a “March 4, 5, 6/Date Sequence” pattern cluster. 

Other dates in the list stand out— August 20th being my fathers birthday,… and October 25th being a 2x’s frightening and sad death day on my family side, and a 3x’s happy B-Day on my in-law side (ex).   

Leaving no stone unturned,  there’s likely a reason as to why the rhyme with words  — laze and vase, … that are generated by the “First and Last 2 Letters in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster.   Perhaps we’re to do some leg work … as in rhymes with: brays, graze, craze, praise, prays, raise, blaze, glaze, plays, days, lays, mays, nays, pays, rays, ways, tays, daze, faze, gaze, haze, maze, quays, vase, ways, yays….  And I highlighted the word “brays”, … because it cryptic-connects to the “ass” (in the above surname, Vanasse , via the “Word in Name” pattern cluster. , and remember Vanasse tprovides the cru[toc “vase”.  In this case, the meaning of “ass” is “mule”… and so connecting with “bray” that in turn connects with Justice Chiasson that you can read about in my February 3, 2026 post, 

God Gives Her Rose … or Chêne Blanc Français (UPDATED Feb 4, 2026)

Note from the post: 

Finally, even Justice Chiasson is getting with the program… or perhaps it’s just her inner twin, note from her Decision emailed to me today where Dickens is quoted using the word “ASS”… and then in referencing another court case, the name “BRAY” occurs, note these excerpts from Justice LouAnn Chiasson’s Decision: 

So …, asses … and donkeys bray… as in hee-haw.  Don’t take my word for the above excerpt from Justice Chiasson’s Decision when you will be able to read about it for yourself when it’s made available on line.  

As to the birthdays of Lacaze and Vanasse, they also stand out for another reason, note from my previous post: 

• Léon Mathot (5 March 1886 - 6 March 1968 )         (*leon/lion)

Leon Mathot played the part of Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo film serial in 1918.  The name Leon, meaning “Lion” is an addition to the recent “Lion/Roar Theme” pattern cluster.  Now with “lion” cropping up, I’m reminded that zebras bray as well.  Hmmm.  Google says: 

Zebras: While zebras do make vocalizations (including braying, barking, and whuffling), their bray is described as more of a high-pitched, pig-like squeal compared to the deep, resonant roar of a donkey.

That’s “audd”— using the word “roar” for a Donkey’s bray!! As well, note that his surname is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster … and so providing us with “mat” and “hot”.  I just googled “hot mat” and … yep there are mats out there now that you can get to melt ice from walkways and door mats.  So another addition to the “ICE Theme” pattern cluster.
