Re: List of Custom Words

Good suggestions. I would imagine Mando'ade would despise spies (say that three times, fast); this recommendation makes sense as a stand-in for the lack of a dedicated word (context would highlight its specific meaning). I might also suggest some merging of ranov'la (secret) and verd (soldier) or j...

Re: Creating new words, yay or nay?

If we start making words, might I suggest we start with structural ones? A language without a word for roof, wall, door, floor... yeah, it slows down quite a bit.

Also, as an aside, I've started using Mhokar to mean sun, as in the local star of a system. Taken from Mhor Ka'ra.

Re: Semantics: Analyzing Mando'a words and their real meanin

What do you suppose the difference between "adate" and "droten" is? Both mean people, one seems to do more with... maybe a political sense? As it's being used in "tsad droten" to mean "republic" so maybe it carries more of a sense of "people who are involved with the community" or something?

Re: Want to learn Mando'a? Hopefully I can help

Haav is bed, jorcu is because.

This thread has been rather helpful to me, I printed off the wordlist and I'm working on memorizing it. My grammar's good, but my vocabulary is lacking...
