Left all alone with the Adults

Original Dishonor Comes to Language

Epistle LXX: Original Dishonor Come to Language

My dearest Éfhelìnye,

I rejoice that you and my beloved Fhermáta are well. Please give my love to Fhólus and Aîya also. I must aadmit that when the Stars came to visit the fleet, I was not entirely sure what they desired. Sometimes they can say nothing at all, othertimes they just dance, and sometimes they are intensely curious and delve into philosophy and thought and I could barely keep up with them, especially since they did not understand my mews. And then they just turned, as if with a single thought, flew into your room, and translated you away. And yet I know they intend no harm for you. If you desire for me to pluck you away, let me know and I shall find you. And yet I do not think they will even touch you. Most of the Immortals are still too afraid of me to risk touching you. However, I would not rely too much upon my vague guesses. If you require me, I shall come.
Grandfather Pátifhar and I are working upon putting some of your notes together. We have about a thousand pages of unprocessed leaves. One day I shall get dearest little Karuláta to copy out all these pages for you. She does need some help in practicing her lettes.
One would like to help you in your great endeavor for creating language, but one despairs of that. However, I do think I can help with some basic taxonomies. I remember discussing before about how Babel almost completely lacks words for evil and dishonor and sin and how one has to create such words by adding the participle qlaêkh. I never really explored that. But now that you’re gone and I’m left all alone with the adults and I have just your notes as company, I shall do my best to find all of the sad words which we have in Babel. My handwriting is not as nice as yours, my precious bride, nor can I paint boxes as well as Fhermáta, but I can at least try.

Evil ond Dishonor ond Sin

Qlaêkh tho who are broken, twisted, bent
Qlaêkh (< Qlaêkh) tho who are sinful, unholy, harming an innocent (in some idioms)

One is not entirely sure whether that box contributes anything, but one is trying. Babel, being the First Language, the Divine Language, was spoken long before sin and dishonor and evil came unto the worlds of story. ‘Tis a language of beauty and hope and is ygnowen as the Language of Love. When evil and sin came to be, when the original dishonor came to pass, therefore there were no preëxisting words for to describe them. Almost every word in Babel, hence, that describes a cleary sinful act is a participle being modified by qlaêkh, either in an unmarked relative clause or in the khleîxhme ingeminate case following a construct. Qlaêkh usually just means broken, twisted, bent but in the list that I am writing it takes upon itself the metaphorical meanings of sinful, unholy, harming an innocent. In all other contexts qlaêkh takes on its primary meaning. Note please, my beloved bride, that all the rest of these participles, without qlaêkh have either innocent or neutral connotations in terms of morality.

I guess I can try to make up some examples. Let me try. I remember Khàqra, the City of Volcanoes and Wheels, where my twin Ixhúja was born.

Xàjas xhmoe Khàqra xhmoe.
Khàqra is chaotick.
Xàjas xhmoe qlaêkh Khàqra xhmoe.
Khàqra is amoral.

Jhexhwuxoixoyùthyar Puîyus.
Puîyus is inclined to tell stories.
Jhexhwuxoixoyùthyar ker qlaêkh Puîyus.
Puîyus is inclined to tell lies.

Jaê Puîyus xhroe khrèjhar kae qtorèngothe xhroe pú.
I saw Puîyus’ killing Þe pariah heretic.
Jaê Puîyus xhroe khrèjhar qlaêkh kae qtorèngothe xhroe pú.
I saw Puîyus’ murdering Þe pariah heretic

I suppose that even though we still have the word qtórenga, qtorèngothe miscreatures, paynims, pariah selenites, we don’t really really have heretics any longer, since all the Khnìnthans are fallowing me.

Before I make a list of the sad words with qlaêkh let me mention we do have some rather odd words that have to do with Dragons. We have Tánin of course, automata, golems, things made in Þe image of soul, abominacioun, those who are like dragons and then khnàtlha, khnàtlhu which are freaks of nature, monstrocities of nature, mistakes; those who are like dragons, are draconiform, dracontine, are serpentine, snekik and sómpan, sómpama those shaped like dragons, draconiform, dracontine, serpentine, vermiculous, snekik, vumön. These words certainly have a rather coiling connotation. Plus we have words which strike me as rather unspeakable. Pyájhexhe, pyájhexhim tio estas those who are awful, awesome, terribibble, abominaburble and qlekhúwa, qlekhúwas which are tounge twisters and those who are abominaburble, difficult to pronounce and tlhatlhiêjhwa, tlhatlhiêjhwot which signifieth those who are awful, awesome, abominaburble.

Here be the basic words of sadness.

Qlaêkh qlaêkh oathbreakren; tho who are unfaithful, apostate, harm Þe biosphere, harm dream ond music ond misuse Babel, are fidimplicitary, raláadálh
Qlaêkhh khyi kinslayren; tho who kill kin, family, clan
Qlaêkhh khli tho who harm kin, family, clan
Qlaêkh thi bad hosts, tho who violate customs of hospitality, tho who harm guests
Qlaêkh jhi tho who are impious, rude, dishonorababel, dishonored

My bride, if I understand your notes, qlaêkh qlaêkh is itself a form of reduplication, and so one would say:

Jaê qlaêkh qlaêkhejikh pú.
Jaê qlaêkh qlaekhòjhwa púxhli.
I see Þe oathbreakren.

I do find it interesting how we have lots of words for holy wars but the way to describe unholy wars or civil wars involves not just one qlaêkh but two of them. For instance xhyoên, xhyoîmu mean battles, holy wars, speardins but xhyoên qlaêkh qlaêkh, xhyoîmu qlaêkh qlaêkh means unholy wars, civil wars.

My beloved, I miss you more than I can express in cheremes or purrs or glances or blushes or any of the forms of language, and yet I realize that you belong unto many and not just unto me, you belong unto your Parents and your Mother’s Family, those from whom you have been hid all your life. So please try to enjoy your time with them. Be not afraid. If there is any danger, I shall come for you. And I shall read all of your epistles with great frequency. I shall study your notes. I wish to be able to speak your language. You are the linguistic education that I would otherwise not be receiving. Grandfather Pátifhar well as taught me to read and paint the forms of calligraphy, but he never talked about omnivolitionality and the hierarchy of cases and the way it all fits together in a coherent whole.
My Princess, if you had created three languages, I would do my best to learn them all. If you had brought seven languages into being, all of them I would take and absorb and inly digest. I get Khrùkhtii and Paloîta to say the words for me so that can practice listening to pronunciation.
You and I Princess are a new culture, a new community. We are bound together by our shared childhood, our affection, and the words which mean so much unto each of us. I wish for you always to be happy with your creation and always inventing of it, and I shall always receive it. I am glad that you choose me to receive your genius, unworthy warior that I am, silent and wordless. I can only stand in awe of your splendor. I shall edit your grammar and copy out the charts of your lexicon as best I can. Your language will last for ever. It is part of all of what we all, oh my bride.

I remember that sometimes when I was younger I would actually mew in Gibberish. Yes, my love, just as Babel has Gibberish so too do plantimals. It’s a little difficult to describe. It’s less about the meaning and more about the sound, the very feeling of the growls and grunts. It was just the glory of gibberish. I purr and sing in it.

Language consists of my purrs given form, the artwork or mews and sighs and purrs.

And art itself is part of the mews.

I miss you so very much, my love. I cannot even think clearly sometimes. But when I look at your notes I think about you and you are not so far away from me. When I recopy your words it is like you’re standing right behind me and I can almost feel your cinnamon breath upon me. When I write unto you it is almost as if we are together once again and all of the separation which we have had to endure because of the war of our parents and their time is become as of naught.

Take care of Fhermáta my Sister and the little Traîkhiim also. They do not quite know how to take care of themselves. They can be quite silly sometimes.

I can look at some of scribbles that my dearest youngest Sister Karuláta Khniêma has left. On one sheet was trying to figure out the etymology of qlaêkh and trying to find an earlier form which she spells as r’ai or r’aika or r’áyaka. She writes: One can be tempted to form an etymology from qlaêkh comong from qláyèkh from lláyèkh from ráyak, but one cannot be entirely sure, it is impossiburble to form precise etymologies from the mind of the Princess who was left innocent of the fall of great Tower of the Heavens. One is not entirely sure of what my Sister means by that.

I’ve tried to make this list as exhaustive as possible, but even so I can see a few irregularities with it which I shall have to mention below.

Xhthaû for instance means those who screech, yell in pain, are tortured but xhthaû qlaêkh is not a sad participle, if it has any meaning at all it would be quite literal, those who are twisted and screech, those who are bent and tortured. The construction xhthaû’ ur qoe X Y means Y tortures X, which may only be performed by some warriors who have unto the Emperor lealty sworn, but there is no form for xhthaû qlaêkh ur qoe X Y in a metaphoric sense, it just means, Y causes X to be twisted and tortured, but it does not have the connotation of dishonor.



But then again, oh my lovely bride, we do not use the term qlaêkh for our various words for euphemisms. The participle qlantelingpengiqhomènya means storms from the south, war storms and also euphemism for rebellions or civil wars since it has of tradition been from Khnìntha that war is come. The dread Quantum Dæmon Pán Íqexhàlkhat was quite often called by mortals Qhònii that is The Beast. And of course the Immortals themselves were afraid of the one called Janyátha the one who was destined to janyáthe dream new dreams, and so they taught themselves call such a creature the Ailínos the Harvestor, the Quocker and behind the euphemism they forgot that it was a clew as to its meaning.

And perhaps strangely enough the words we have for delight in clockwork do not carry the word qlaêkh unto them. We have the words kòmpal, kòmpalot and khwiniîke, khwiníka and khwìtsa, khwìtsil all of which mean those who delight in clockwork machines, are machine-fain, machine heathens, clockwork pagons, spirits worshipers, paynims, kamparuloj, country folk; tho who delight in tsàfhra ond tnúkhe ond pàjhe ond fhàfhlurt ond thùkhro ond jhína ond jhinùrfhet ond khmàjhi ond khmòjhi ond khmufhùrkie ond khmùtur ond xhmìnyi ond iqúfhei ond íxei clockwork. We also have the opposite terms xhùxha those who worship icons of Sea Lords, Dread Ones, Noiselords rather than clockweyth machines, pious idolators, technophobes, luddites. And xhuxhàyaxúng those who are fain of clockwork machines.

That is all that comes to my mind now. I miss you very much. Please be happy with your family. I shall come for you as soon as you desire it.
Puey
