Reminiscent

Soon, the expanse of the galaxy became reminiscent of ancient Polynesian migrational waves throughout the Pacific Ocean.

What's complicated about their language is the writing, not the grammar, which is reminiscent of a creole.

The song was reminiscent of a barbershop quartet.

These white clouds are reminiscent of a flock of sheep.

To me, written Finnish is reminiscent of Romanized Japanese.

To me, Swahili is reminiscent of Japanese.

Lojban has shorter contractions for basic roots in compounding, reminiscent of "kun" and "on" readings of sinograms in Japanese.

I went later than usual, after noon, to the Lulu Island pizzeria on the greyish 23rd of March of 2022. At the cashier, in front of me, were handsome Mormon proselytizers, one thick and the other thin, ordering pizza. They had ties and eyeglasses on. Facing away, at the counter, the thinner one, still waiting for his order, sat to the left of the thicker one, already devouring his pizza. From his pizza, the thicker one handed the other a pineapple chunk, which he gulped. Metaphorically, they were like Lojban and Esperanto, or Animism and Buddhism, maybe. I ate two slices and drank a diet coke at my usual northwestern corner. A woman reminiscent of my mother came in to order. Maybe, my mother was like the pagan Earth Mother Goddess for some.

In Vancouver, BC, I found and bought a black soapstone Inuit carving of an Inuit man, fat and reminiscent of Buddha. I gave it to my Japanese friend Noriko, who was sojourning on Lulu Island, BC. Ever since then, I could never find a similar sculpture in the art stores.
