Tidus44 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Found this today while reading - always interesting seeing a TES reference. Hircine; of, pertaining to, or resembling a goat or having a goatish odor or one who is libidinous; meaning full of sexual lust; lustful; lewd; lascivious; of, pertaining to, or characteristic of the libido.. Synesthesia. So that explains why the sound of a concrete block wall falling onto my helmet was the reason I saw black. Just joking - a bit of profession humor.

Deleted1205226User Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hircine in French has a much restricted meaning; it's a chemical inside billy goat or sheep fat. Probably what carry the smell.I don't know about your synesthetic experience, but it has presumably challenged your nociception, this ability to feel pain, caused by stimulation of a nociceptor.
