Emily, so great to hear how you’re doing and of course learn about “domes.” What an amazing experience you’re having! Also, I wanted to thank you for the beautiful card you left for me w/ the knitting crew. It was so, so thoughtful!! ❤️
For further consideration in your quest for dome knowledge, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
“The English word "dome" ultimately derives from the ancient Greek and Latin domus("house"), which, up through the Renaissance, labeled a revered house, such as a Domus Dei, or "House of God", regardless of the shape of its roof. This is reflected in the uses of the Italian word duomo, the German/Icelandic/Danish word dom ("cathedral"), and the English word dome as late as 1656, when it meant a "Town-House, Guild-Hall, State-House, and Meeting-House in a city."”
