So earlier today my mind got caught up on an interesting puzzle: how to translate the phrase "Black lives matter" into Trai'Pahg'Nan'Nog. Came across some cultural complications in the translation, one of which I haven't talked about here ( Read more... )

I like having things to say to start rituals, like calling the elements and directions to cast the sphere. (I use 9 elements/directions and cast a sphere rather than a circle.) But I keep forgetting them, or having to read from a paper, and then messing up even when it's on the paper ( Read more... )

Oh my... I think I may have had one of those moments when Shao'Kehn helping me without my knowledge has given me an insight I'd never had before ( Read more... )

Traipahni social group types to be aware of:

Guilds (AKA Jiijahnglah) - Guilds are a bit like corporations, except that Traipahni society would never tolerate most of the crap that Earth corporations (at least in the 20th and 21st centuries) do.

So, I got some help from Brooke in figuring out how to convert between bases 10 and 6, because Traipah's math system is base 6. I haven't rigorously tested it yet, but I think I have it understood ( Read more... )

(This should be the last entry of the day. These entries piled up over the weekend.)

Okay, hopefully this is the last post I'll make about Traipahni numbers. I think I finally have them all figured out.

( Long )

I recently changed the 4 on the Traipahni numerals from a cross to an X because it looks better when handwritten. Now 1's and 4's close to one another will no longer bear so close a resemblance to the Traipahni character for the K sound. I also added a Traipahni version of a decimal point, which is not a period. I never liked the period as a ( Read more... )

I had only planned, originally, to write one short Noiionayya peripheral story ("A Love Deep And Open," which is finished) and then a second one about how Shao'Kehn and Ahndahn founded the Order that later became the Daan Order and the Shao'Bahn Order, to be called "To Teach And To Learn." But in order to do that, I spent a whole night the other ( Read more... )
