get booped, muol

[unsoundedcomic]

I guess that with the whole "sensing each other through the Dammakhert" thing, to True Alds™ dealing with Soud might be likened to talking to someone who has neither facial expression nor vocal inflection.

Would you say it even borders on the uncanny valley? Like, that's clearly a person in front of them, but at the same time, according to their Dammakhert sense, there is no person there. The face moves, the words have tone, but there's something missing from it all.

Arguably it's also a bit like how people can find some forms of neurodivergence, or even cultural differences, unsettling when they're not used to it. There's a mismatch between the expected minutiae and what's happening so their brain is going "alert! alert! I don't know what, but alert!".

Either way, I'm imagining some backwater village Plat who's never met a Soud before being extremely on edge, while a cosmopolitan Aldish port trader who deal with outsiders a lot is like "yeah, and? get over yourself, muol 🙄". Like Ghersit who generally limit fraternising outside their caste being leery of Soud, while in Duane's time in the army the Plats and Jets there seem largely like "oh yeah, that's my good friend GoldBoy NoFace".

Nicely put!

Frislandic Phonology Addendum: Minimal Pairs -Consonants

Just providing these as the first part of a two-part series accompanying the post on phonology. This is going to be a long one (because establishing minimal pairs is always laborious) so feel free to ignore if you aren't really into this kind of thing. Note I'm not giving minimal pairs for every single possible pair of consonants in the language, only ones that are phonetically similar and thus could reasonably exist in complementary distribution to each other, because in many cases that would restate contrasts that can be derived transitively from the examples given (for example since buol 'acorn' contrasts with muol 'hole' and guol 'kidney', we do not need to also state that guol contrasts with muol to establish a minimal pair between /k/ and /m/).

id love to know more about your pronunciation! i will freely admit that the poll options skew usamerican for a number of reasons including that i’m from there and also that i could only find ipa transcriptions for the us and uk pronunciations. when you say that its ‘cara-mul’ are you interpreting that ‘cara’ is one syllable?

yeah kinda. idk how you’d write it down in ipa but it’s two syllables. cahr-muol. like cāh that as a slight r at the end and moul/mool, like the starting sound of “oof”

i’m also a tradie and from the bush so my accent is a lot stronger than someone from down south/a major city. i think down there they’d like have a more defined and less slurred pronunciation but would still be two syllables

I'd probably enjoy freaking people out like this too.

On another note, what is that bottle in the refrigerator behind him?

muol?

I read it as mold at first, but I don't really know now.

Could you translate the pulina tainish line just this once? I feel like I almost have it.

The soldiers are speaking in casual Tainish rather than Duane and Quigley's educated parlance.

Pulin muol guit ssomun atha, nim'echi alama well!

Literally: Because mega jerk is very near, I can smell his stink. But I'd translate it as: "The fucker is so near I can smell his stink."

And of course they're talking about Foi-Hellick.

Some handy new Tainish vocab. Guit is a slangy modifier, it can mean a lot, or very, or super. Nim is "to be able to." It conjugates just like any other verb, then you stick the stem of the verb you're able to do at the end. Nim'echi, I am able to smell. Nim'bali, I am able to see, etc. Matty might successfully beat a soldier in combat by clocking him in the head with Chitz and shout: "Nitin'khi!" I was able to do it!

The pointless book is pretty darn amazing tbh

[unsoundedcomic]

I think I've seen people say "Muol Hethllot" would be something like "Foolish Platinum", but what does "Maa Prokul Soud" mean, aside from referring to Golds?

"Muol" is the quintessential Tainish insult. It literally means "inferior servant," but these days you could translate it as anything from dipshit to simpering dolt. "Prok" is the second most useful Tainish insult and is about equivalent to our "fuck." -ul turns it into a noun. "Maa" is a noise of exasperation or disapproval or stinkiness. "Geez, fucking Soud," is a good enough approximation.

[unsoundedcomic]

Are tainish loanwords common in Aldish continental?

Yep, and vice versa. However since y'all don't know Tainish, don't expect to see too many in the comic :) I'll be sticking with caste over sultet, wright over purasa, sense over maom, even though the Tainish words are standardly used in Aldish Continental. I couldn't think up good translations for ghers, kussen, or muol though, so they remain.

[unsoundedcomic]

Can you tell us some Tainish swear words?

maa - stinky padorasa - pisser iwtu/iwtu kaef - shit/turd prok - frig/fuck toimitol, patapata ssopomit, babitwel - poof chig - fool/idiot iyanol - cunt/bitch gaegorit - soft-brained moron difhut - scum/slime tamo - mayfly, a rude way of referring to Silver or Plats yalenert - pansy, lit milkblood muol - servant/inferior

Put 'em together! Maa prokul iwt'kaef ul! - "Stinking dildo piece a shit!"

I softened the translations up but some of those words are equivalent to pretty offensive things in English. Take care using them if you aren't keen on wielding those kinds of insults.

[unsoundedcomic]

For the tainish on the page, I'm only certain that it ends with the word dog, in a pretty rude tone, I'm fairly sure it isn't "crescian dog" since I didn't see anything resembling the word cresce, it could be something something something like a dog! Or maybe something something queen's dog!!

Fuckin' Queen's dog, you got it. Vu is monarch. Prok and muol are the most useful swearin' words in Tainish currently. Fuck and servant, respectively.
