Sphenics

First Appearance and Context

“Sphenics” is attested in an entry of The Dictionary discussing the word “Bulshytt.” In the Halikaarnian usage recorded there, the Knights of Saunt Halikaarn classified “all speech and writings of the ancient Sphenics” as bulshytt, grouping them with other targets of their denunciations.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• The name refers to a historical collective whose writings are invoked as emblematic of a contested rhetorical or ideological current. In present discussion this current is summarized under Sphenic thought.
• The adjectival label Sphenic appears elsewhere to describe advocates or demagogues aligned with that current; the plural “Sphenics” here denotes the historical collective rather than an adjective.

Relationships

• Related concept: Sphenic thought (ideological current associated to the name).
• Usage label: Sphenic (adjectival reference to advocates).
• Source of attestation: The Dictionary (entry on “Bulshytt,” Halikaarnian sense).

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Referred to as an ancient group; the available text provides no charter, hierarchy, leadership, or internal doctrines beyond associating their corpus with the Sphenic current.
• The term is used collectively; no individual members are identified in the available material.
