Day 15

Hannaito (Entry 15):

rawantep /rawantep/ [ˈɾa.wɑ̃nˌtɛp̚]
Verb (Transitive):
1. to rot, to putrefy
2. to allow to go bad
3. to waste, to squander
4. to neglect, to ignore, to forget
5. to corrupt, to ruin, to destroy

Etymology
From rawan "rotten, putrid" (< Proto-Hannaitoan *rawlan "smelly, gross, disgusting") + the verb-forming suffix -tep (< PH *cepa "to place, to set, to position").

ŋamba "clam", from MRCA ŋa ŋe
ŋāmba "mussel", from MRCA ŋuŋi

In the sea these would have the -pa classifier suffix, but it becomes -ba (handheld) once inside the kitchen.

Despite the resemblance in form and meaning, these aren't cognates and I have no plans to make them into cognates because there are no convenient sound changes, even in the very oldest stages, that could tie them together. If anything it's the meanings that might change ... perhaps one of the words meant something different early on, but changed in meaning as Play matured because of the similarity to the other word.

Dawn of the Fifteenth Day. 370 Hours Remain

Got a couple today, some emotions to go with yesterday's entry.

rpMr-GH-g
happyness

rfCr-GH-g
sadness

rkHr-GH-g
anger

rfBr-GH-g
fear

Etymology
rpMr = happy
rfCr = sad
rkHr = angry
rfBr = afraid
-GH = a suffix that turns adjectives into nouns meaning the quality of... (-ness). Also used to turn verbs into nouns meaning the concept of the verb.

When describing how you feel in Commonthroat, you use the verb <rMP> which literally means "to smell" as in "to smell good". Yinrih associate emotions with the odors of their equivalent pheromones.

For example

Code: Select all

rMP rpMr qgKql fCq qMqmg dB qMqmg rMP qJKq.
0 rMP-0           rpMr  qgKq-l   fCq  qMqm-g 	    dB       qMqm-g        rMP        qJKq
I smell_like-AUTH happy yinrih-1 find human-3.INDEF although human-3.INDEF smell_like bad

I feel happy we found humans even though humans smell bad.

Human odor is initially off-putting to most yinrih but they're usually at least able to get used to it, and some even start enjoying it. From the human point of view, individual yinrih may have a musky odor to them, and of course their ink has that famously strong rainy smell which most humans love. Enclosed spaces such as the interiors of interstellar womb ships, as well as spaces where many yinrih come together, such as orbital colonies, have a distinct "dog odor" about them. It is for this reason that the first orbital colony visited by humans is nicknamed "The Kennel".

Anyway, here's yesterday's.

Friday, Lexember 15

Theme: Food, Cooking, Cuisine, Ingredients, Tastes, Textures, Smells, Odors, Colors, Sensations

Ruykkarraber tedussenyadur “honeyed fruit”

Tekes-sasak tedussenyadur nuyn andis, nayeg Duynaknayat-nesak rubares ik ban. “I like Tek’s honeyed fruit, but her village is on the other side of Duynaknayat.”
Tek-3-make-PART honey-fruit 1sg.2 please / 3sg.4 Duynaknayat-across village-3 at but

Honeyed fruit is a very popular dish, since it historically took effort to acquire and doesn’t anymore with the advent of large-scale farming and trade, making it a symbol of status except not really anymore.
The people who could get it in the past too didn’t want to give up that symbol of status, so artisinal honeyed fruit with complicated designs, fruit with tree-syrup (turseni) instead of honey, exotic fruit imported from elsewhere, and so on became more and more common, essentially an arms race of sugary fruit dishes: the best kind of arms race.

And today's:

Saturday, Lexember 16

Theme: Food, Cooking, Cuisine, Ingredients, Tastes, Textures, Smells, Odors, Colors, Sensations

Ruykkarraber reysadur “root vegetable”

Agx, reysaduri nuyg andisen ag. “Eugh, I don’t like root vegetables.”
ugh, root.vegetable-PL 1sg.4 please-2 not

It literally means “fruit of the ground.” Sound familiar?
Root vegetables are considered bland, and are usually roasted and eaten as a snack, not with anything else.
It is common for underground tunnels to be dug so that one can grow perrenial root vegetables on the ground above and harvest parts of their roots that grow into the cave below.

Dawn of the Sixteenth Day. 350 Hours Remain

rC

[chuff, long low strong whine]

Verb
To flick (something or someone) with the tail

jHr

[ early rising strengthening growl, chuff]

Verb
to thump the ground with the tail

kHr

[early falling strong grunt, chuff]

Verb
To strike with the tail

All these words are verbs describe actions performed with the tail. Much like the words "punch" and "kick", they imply the use of a specific body part. <rC> is an action similar to a horse flicking away a fly. When performed on oneself, it can mean "don't bother me", or "Don't concern yourself with that" depending on context. The word <rC-HG-g>, literally "an act of flicking with the tail", can also mean something like "handwave" in the sense of brushing off someone's concern. Flicking someone else is a very offensive gesture that implies the flickee is a nuisance but is easily "dealt with".

<jHr> describes the act of repeatedly thumping the tail on the ground. It's a gesture that can indicate a threat if directed at someone, but it can also be similar to a human drumming the fingers on a table or tapping the foot in frustration or impatience.

<kHr> is just what it sounds like, slapping or striking something/someone with the tail. Yinrih tails are pretty long and made of pure muscle, like an elephant's trunk. They're strong enough to support the weight of the rest of the body. A well-aimed tail slap can easily break a nose. The word is also used when wielding a melee weapon in the tail.
