You're spot on about the emotion part...every time she learns something new, it literally becomes a permanent imprint in her mind, complete with emotional and haptic context. So if she recalls something, she can recreate the exact situation in which she learned it. (I hit on that below with Rep's book gifts he gave her.)  She rereads books not to relearn, but because of the sentiment associated with learning what they contain.

As for the runes themselves, they are arranged in a 3-tier system; the cuneiform in her hood is raw, compressed binary data. It collects in the spindles on the sides, where it turns and condenses into useable language. From there it is reprinted on each of her extremities as a fully recollected piece of information. (I used three sets of runes, even though its kind of hard to tell.)  So conceivably, she could recall six recipes, or six types of animal, etc. One for each arm, one for her torso, and one on her tail.
