I, Mister #Mxyzptlk, Love #SuperGirl So Much that I will Find a Way to Get Her to #Earth38 BEFORE Kal-El! @getFANDOM @Wikipedia @Ecosia @DCTVfandom @DCfandom2 @DCmarvelFandom
I don't know---just typing-out some ideas.
Particularly inspired by the entry of this character ... maybe because his name's so important ...
I guess I'll show 'the group of words' that give "that name" (linked to his 'Earth 38 (Arrowverse)'-profile) a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The name “Mxyzptlk” (may not be "correct," but I think the TV-show's pronunciation was 'Mixy Spit-Lick' ... important because 'his name backwards' (Kltpzyxm - "kel-tip-zix-um") is "the way to get rid of him---or maybe mix-yez-PITTLE-ik; or Mix-Ill-Plick, Miks-yez-pit-lik, mix-yez-PIT-lek, mix-yez-PIT-ul-ick, mix-yez-pittle-ik, "mix, yes, spit, lick", Mix-yiz-SPIT-Lik!, Miks-il-piti-lik (with the i 's pronounced only lightly), mix-yez-pittle-ik ... making the backwards-pronunciation "kell-tipp-ZEY-skim," or "kulp-ti-Mix-im.") is built on ancient words that mean ...
well, I'm not sure---but his profile is linked to |Rumplestiltskin (both through the odd pronunciation & through the |Transcendental |Trickster angle).
I can 'scour the web' for the origin of his name later, but first ...
Perhaps as a way of 'justifying the fact that my enjoyment of superhero-adventures is actually just a way of liking "soap operas" without seeming "fay,"' ...
my brain is working on a story about how Kara went back in time in order to get here when she was actually supposed to (before Kal, in order to make the world ready for him). 
Actually, why didn't Kara have Mxy fix the trajectory of her rocket back when it got knocked off course in the beginning?
