"Prime Words" is a set of four line stanzas describing thoughts about 797 entities (nouns), and their place as a foundation of language. The amaeur poetry was written by H. Roice Nelson, Jr. for his children and family. It is shared with the plan to eventually demonstrate a portable electronic replacement for books: ELDO (ELectronic DOcument), i.e. a hand-held, solar-powered, electronic hyperjournal.
