A word we don't know...

This just occurred to me.

Some of the neighborhoods have some very impressive time-keeping devices, yet we've never been enlightened on the D'ni word for them.

Does anyone know and care to share?

Thanks, RAWA! ^_^

Gorahyan...wasn't that the name of one of the critters in the Japanese rubber-suit monster movies? Wink

This reminds me of the UK Kit Kat advert when the pandas come out of their enclosure on the watcher's break. Very Happy

Can anyone confirm that this is the correct spelling for the plural form, in D'ni script?

Almost. The last symbol needs to be "ee" instead of "ih." Just type in "E" instead of "i" and you'll have it.

Gadren,

I noticed you said "E" and not "e". In the script I'm using, there doesn't appear to be any difference. Should there be?

EDIT: Nevermind, there is a difference, I needed to use the 'i' with an accent over it to get the 'ee' symbol.

Thanks again!

And now a double post... now I can reveal why I asked for this word.

Yeesha once said, "Let us end this cycle with rewards, before we start the next cycle." And so this is my gift for all of those involved in the restoration, DRC and otherwise, as we try again to breathe life into cavern we call Uru.
