On the Other Hand
Good morning Monday Muggles. Good morning to ya. We got up bright and early just to how-dee-do ya.. (Only Muggles of a certain age, in fact a lot older than a certain age, will know what I’m alluding to here.)
I went to Lincoln Center Friday evening to see this kinetic sculpture by Es Devlin.
. .
It’s called “Your Voices” because "each of the work’s 700 industrial ratchet straps represents one of over 700 languages actively spoken on New York from Algerian to Zulu." How fitting for this week’s MMM.
The answer is a language.
The answer is also neither of the languages mentioned above. Even with that nudge, this one is a bit more difficult than the other puzzles I’ve posted here of late.
Thanks to @Abide, @Al Sisti, and @Wendy Walker for test solving and for their suggestions, even the ones I rejected.
You can PM me your answer or go to Crosshare for immediate gratification.
Deadline Saturday 10 a.m. Nudges Wednesday.

Well, I know the answer.
But I wish I knew why.

Nudged off the couch today - literally and figuratively!
Thanks, Jay, enjoyed the challenge!

I’m OTC, not to be confused with Over The Counter. I enjoyed solving this one!

Off the couch, after Jay kindly directed me away from a deep rabbit hole!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

In the first 24 hours, only 23 people have left the couch. For you statisticians out there, that’s less than one per hour.

Either I was right that this one was a tad more difficult or a lot of people are out doing their Christmas shopping instead of giving their attention to the important things in life like crossword puzzles. Maybe a small nudge will help.
More nudges, and possibly more helpful ones, tomorrow.

Thanks for the nudge, Jay, but so far, I am not helped and am still solidly on the couch. Will wait for future nudges.

Just printed this out, had a distinct sense of deja vu, and realized that I, too, was a test solver! Fun puzzle!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
