Adios, señor.

If any of you can figure out these sounds, please let me know, because I would really like to at least come close to what PIE sounded like.

Also, I am late as fuck, but Pyro, that cosmology was incredible. I think this is prolly the first time I have seen the passive personification of Earth as a father, but it makes a great deal of since given how matriarchal the rest of it leans. I wonder, do the Myr have similar beliefs, or do they resent this account? For that matter, would the Myr also be matriarchal?

In an armchair way, I suppose. :P M-effing castellano made me taste the proverbial blood.

heh

if you feel like it i can tell you a bit about certain lingual aspects of the spanish region i live in

basically where i live we speak spanish but at the same time we have a sort of second language which resembles it a bit but is not really the same

in day to day speech it all gets jumbled up and we sometimes speak funny

i think you would find them interesting if you are into this sort of stuff

i'll tell you more through pms if you wanna

the iberian peninsula is rather interesting in terms of language imo

Uhp, got sidetracked a sec.

Ooh, dude, spill it PM-wise. Is it like Galician or something?

@Foxmobile: Heh, thanks.

Yeah, the whole father earth concept was a deliberate inversion. Of course, the Tssuk-Hri still have plentiful mother figures, but it just made more sense to me to have it be a masculine deity due to a number of reasons.

Regarding the Myr... I'm honestly really not sure yet. See, I actually have several different versions of Myr in my mind that I'm rolling about, trying to decide which one works the best in the overall setting.

The Myr that I've introduced into the FG is generally a fair bit more "high fantasy" than many of the other versions in my mind. (I mean, all versions are high fantasy in that they clearly take place in another world with different rules, but I'm thinking more in terms of how a lot of people would think of "high fantasy" nowadays, Lord of the Rings vs A Song of Ice and Fire).

The Myr definitely generally have different beliefs though, that would be something fairly constant throughout all versions. I think they might be somewhat matriarchal, but in a different way to the Hri.

I will say though, I really loved your idea of the Myr as giant ant monsters. I had completely overlooked the whole ancient Greek Myr means ant thing and I quite like that.

Regarding the video, I can't watch it now, but does it go into the phonology of PIE?

@Riv: I am here, but will be sporadic at least for a bit.

ever seen two drunk fat dudes get slobbery with each other? I've learned that apparently two of my friends get 'flirty' when drunk and they decided to get flirty with each other
