Being transported into El-Adrel IV, Picard believes it could be a duel. But, tries to see how his communication works by his actions.

Using their data and the word "Darmok" they cross reference to have a better understandiing of their cutlure and find a means of communication

# data[].attributes.body
Using their database they pinpoint the history of "darmok." They find out that their langauge is purely metaphorical and based on their history

"Shaka, when the walls fell." was first used when building the fire. It was the first understanding of Picard. It is the metaphor for failiure.

Bogost helps you understand the meaning of the Tamarian Lnaguge. Showing that it is much more than metaphors in their langauge

# data[].attributes.body
According to Bogost is much more than just a metaphor. It is allegory. "The logic of Darmok or Shaka or Uzani is not depicted as image, but invoked or instantiated as logic in specic situations."

I agree with Bogost that is much more than a metaphor in the Tamarian language. It is dance with its handful of words that mean more than just the surface.

When Data and Troi are looking for language and its lingusitc history. They do not realize by reading their story it can tell them about their actions.

Picard notices and exudes patience by tryin to find out what Dathon means. By simpling knowing that "Shaka" means failure, he begins to understand how to create a communication. Through a tale of his own cutlure

It is using epic momemnts to understand the Tamarian Language. Again, highlighting how they used their hisotry to begin a decipher.
