Re: Words i accumulated or invented so far

Tranar comes from slightly modifying Karen's word tranyc, which means sunny. So i just replaced the ending to make a word for light of the sun. Good point on ruusala. But i was thinking like this. It doesnt nesseserily means gullible. Just trusting. But even in english trusting can be used negativel...

Re: How would I say Hunter?

Lets make it a rule for making a noun out of adjective. For adjectives ending with -la you should add -n. For adjectives ending with -yc you replace the ending with -ii. For other adjectives you add -n or -an. Examples: Aruetyc - aruetii (traitorous - traitor) Mirdala - mirdalan (smart - smart one) ...

kil'yc [ kee-LEESH ] - some, a little, a bit (amount) (adverb) meshakaar [ may-shah-KAHR ] - pirate (lit. "space robber". Wordplay, a combination of 'mese' and 'chakaar', but when combined produce the 'sh' between them, which makes the word relative with 'mesh' and stops being an insult, but instea...

Re: Words i accumulated or invented so far

bu'yc - from the word buir. You can use that for the situations you described. Illogical "shine to" a person, cause a father cant logically explain why he adores his son, he just does, no matter if he succeds or fails.
I think both words deserve living.

Re: Words i accumulated or invented so far

Well, i wanted to ask you in what sense you are using "favouring". I understand that its from the Bible project, but you must understand that the mandalirian culture aint anywhere near to what the Bible is describing. So i was thinking about what could be seen as favouring in mando society. I dont s...

Gar ik'aad r’olaro n’oyayc. Ni trikari. Your baby came out still (dead). I’m sorry. N’oyayc would mean “not living”, but won’t mean “killed” like kyrayc .

Re: Words i accumulated or invented so far

1. Well, now it makes a lot more sense, vod . Kov’yam literally translates as “head building”, kovid being word for “head”. I believe that’s pretty enough and easier to say than ke’gyce’la taap . But what you are proposing is not exactly a word, but a phrase, a combination. And you’re free to do tha...
