Loroi Trade translation request general

[Arioch]

unity or community is: lishradil
friend: deizei
friendship: deizes
"brotherhood" (in the abstract sense): sitidat
little brother: dozai reloma

The Loroi recognize a wide array of different states of friendship, but these are concepts mostly internal to telepathic communication; few have Trade words, and few would be applied to outsiders.

Where is this lexicon, because I have some translations I want to figure out.

Yeah, I literally stumbled onto it after asking this, so I feel like an idiot. I'm trying to find the Trade word for "Lantern" and "Hug". No luck from what I've seen so far.

Lantern =/= Lomi/Manni(s)
Hug =/= Lishra(s)

Legend
Myth
Mythology

[Arioch]

Legend
Myth
Mythology

The Loroi Trade word for "legend" is sashrilis. "Legend" and "myth" are Latin- and Greek-derived words for the same thing. If they have different connotations in modern English, I think it may be that "myth" implies that the stories are not true, but the Loroi assume that all of their legends are true, by virtue of their telepathic means of conveyance.

"Mythology" in the sense of a collection of myths or tradition is the same word, sashrilis.

"Mythology" in the sense of the study of myth is ninzad (literally "remembering", a reference to the Ninzadi caste dedicated to the study of Loroi heroic mythology).

Hallelujah!

[Arioch]

Hallelujah!

Trade doesn't have an equivalent in a religious context.

Literally, hallelujah means "praise yahweh"... so "praise the creator" would be tamadi lastero

[GeoModder]

I suspect the Soia are the culprit to be praised by Loroi.

I suspect the Soia are the culprit to be praised by Loroi.

Phrases involving the "ancestors" would be appropriate, but not being primarily verbal, I tend to think that the Loroi don't use a lot of interjections.

What would be the Trade equivalent of "Get the %&@ out!" ?

While I obviously do not know, I have the impression that Loroi in the whole view sex as a precious privilege, since based on the author, no person likely, (aside from those powerful enough nd corrupt), is allowed to choose who they mate with.

Another decides that for them or possibly even by commitee group.

Sex is a 0rivilege, not a right with the Loroi. I really doubt they take it for granted so much that they use it as a substitute swear word.

The few, the proud, the warriors, the ones who are honored by being given the privilege to breed and and continue the Loroi race

I didn't mean in the sexual sense.

Do not know, but Talon is known to use excrement slang insults when she is no longer playing around.

Doubt she would do it to a friend.

tanzi bazero! "go away!" or pado bazero! "go outside!"

1. What's the difference between loroi for warrior and the other word tiris. I guess when they say that Alex is not a warrior, they use tiris? But what do those words actually mean in their cultural context? Maybe it is similar to the japanese bushi?
2. Since Trade is pretty static, what does archaic actually mean? Does Alex have a weird backwater accent/dialect since he learned it from a different source with a different script? How would ancient Trade as written on Soia artifacts sound like compared to "modern" Trade?
3. Are there any particulalrly colorful curses any Loroi subculture uses? I mean questioning the fidelity of ones maternal ancestors would not work for the Loroi. How about insulting ones body odour? Do elderberries grow on Maia?
4. Do the Loroi have a word for amber or do they even commonly know of such material?
5. Why would the Soia create the sidebil, a rhino-sized beast of burden and where do they live?
