In a kingdom in a far away galaxy the king is inventing languages. He sees other languages where symbols are read left to right like English, Russian and such and then sees languages like Hebrew read right to left.
He will have none of this. He calls for his smartest people to invent a palindromic language which has the same meaning in both directions but allows normal conversation, like 'hello, how are you' I'm fine, just have a fever; yourself?'
Is a palindromic language possible? We can make examples with English but maybe you can make up your own symbols too, just have to be the same meaning and the same sequence of letters as read from left to right or vice versa.
