ᚌ Gort — ivy / skin

Enclosure and persistence

Gort, the ivy letter, is mapped to skin in the chosen modern school because ivy suggests a persistent outer covering and boundary. The slightly left-of-midline chest point is only a representative surface marker; skin is distributed across the whole body.
