[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

MoorClan, month 22. While on a patrol, Cranestar and Patchspring were caught by a violent snowstorm, forced to hide in a small hollowed out stump for hours. Things were never the same between them after that.

[felisartus]

I've been on a doodling streak... Cranestar my beloved...

[jester-dragons-aus]

I digitalized the leader! Cranestar, aka Warriors Cats AU Caine, has his colors!

I tried my best to make the fur colors look natural but I think the red's a bit too red. I mean, for warriors, it's not too red. Just look at Redtail and Squirrelflight! (Love those characters)

I'm not very good with digital art, I only have a phone to do it with, so I stick mostly with traditional.

[bonefall]

Hey Bonefall! Got a wide and weird variety of Clanmew things to share/ask about! Spent some time translating a mix of straight OCs and also clangen cats, and thus I’ve got some names to show off and also a varied list of words I ran into a lack of.

Cherryclaw - Obeorussyskat

Cherry leaves who will unsheathe claws

Also known as Sookie, this is the warrior name I’ve given to my cat. Name is coming from cherry, making it specifically the leaves of the cherry tree since she’s a beautiful tortie, and then yskat from the term for unsheathing claws, as I wanted a more active term than just referring to the body part. If I’m getting how nicknames work right, I think a suitable nickname would be Obekat, but you might notice a better one.

This also turned up a word I think would be helpful - what would be the term for specifically leaves which have fallen to the ground in leaffall? Like, piles of rustling leaves on the ground. I think that’d fall a lot closer to what I was getting at.

Cranestar - Bwabwashai

Egret star / Cranelight / Egret who shines

Previously known as Bwabwashemi, this one is using the egret as a reasonably similar bird which had a word in the lexicon.

Oakbranch - Byochchobyrr

Oak tree branch

This one was a big chunk of time and turned up a decent chunk of words desired, as Oakbranch is a cleric and fathers a litter of kittens with Cranestar and thus I decided to dabble in dishonour names with him, though it would be given by a different leader likely.

I ended up wanting the general meaning of “tree branch dead from breaking a vow”, so using Babechok in place of the prefix and using a term for a broken vow as the suffix - ideally a term for specifically the cleric vow, but a general promise would work too. Thus, under this I was wondering what the words for promise/vow, honourable, broken vow, forbidden, and dishonourable would be. (Don’t worry I’m gonna add a bullet list at the end)

Nightfall - Mebwynfe

Vesper fall

Nickname attempt Mebfe? This is one of my oldest cats created, along with her sister following.

Moonamber - Shomaogi

Moon resin

Nickname attempt Shogi? She’s a cleric and sisters with Nightfall.

Batwing - Shi’poafafa

Noctule (biggest bat named) who fluttered

Nickname attempt Shifa? This one also turned up a word request- the Lexicon has a word for specifically a feathered wing, but not the skin wings of bats - what would that be? I’m actually really happy with what I ended up with, but it feels like a gap which should be considered.

Following are more rapid-fire clangen names, and then a list of words from above and this list which I couldn’t find.

Blizzardhare - Os’hauooyywaya - blizzard hare

Cressmark - Shushchafakonpen - stream plant patch fur patch

Fawnstripe - Myaaseek - baby deer long thick stripe

Ghostdazzle - Kooskepshayu - ghost lights source

Riversong - Ssbassoowamew - River lullaby

Spruceneedle - Fiffnyyp - Douglass fir pine needle

Streakstar - Seekshai - long thick stripe star

Swampdusk - Kolpfawmun - swamp dusk

Talonrump - Kachswash - claw tail

Beavertuft - Morfafaofa - general mustelids (otter) tuft of hair

Missing words which I think are plausible for the base region from this set - Watercress, Mark, Rump, Talon

Final List of Words I was Missing

A bat’s wing

Leaflitter / fallen leaves on the ground in fall

Honourable

Dishonourable

Vow / promise

Broken vow / promise

Watercress

Mark

Rump

Talon

Thanks for making up such an interesting conlang, I had a great time poking through the lexicon and naming cats.

Oh my god you even made a list organizing all your requests I love you so much you have no idea

I need to update Yet Another masterpost (And we just got the Lexicon up to date!) so let me hook you up to all the terms you need;

Types of Wings

There are a LOT of words for specific types of wing in Clanmew, related to the fact Clanmew is a language of obligate carnivores and active hunters. There isn't just "Flying," there are a LOT of types of "flight" and each wing produces a very different kind of rapid movement.

Someday I will also expand on the types of Beof, feathered wings.

Bat wing, has a bit of a "tragic" connotation if not used in the context of a living bat, as dead "songbirds" are a very sad thing to Clan cats = Pafr

Hard, outside wing of some insects, such as beetles, "Shield" = Bakbur

Clear, iridescent flight wing of insects, "Elytra" = Kaskr

Beautiful, patterned wing of a butterfly or moth, "painted" by StarClan. Has a holy connotation = Wesk

Pectoral fin of a fish, NOT the tail-fin, the "arm" wing = Sseo

Values

Here's honor-related terms, in order of least insulting to most insulting.

Honor = Kurruar To say something is honorable (good thing), the suffix -wang is appended. Kurruarwang. Honorness. To negate, the prefix Nyar is applied. Nyarkurruarwang, Not-Honor-Ness. You can come back from dishonor, it's the politest way to phrase that someone has not been acting in line with the value of Honor.

Beastliness, gauchness, lacking in good taste = Ragywar This is usually applied to taste, meaning a cat who will eat raw meat or bite through their tunnelbuns, but it could also be used in a context meaning that the cat acts like an "animal." Driven by lesser instincts.

Cannibalism/Eats its own young/Acting in extreme self-interest = Mwyrgna This is the lowest kind of NATURAL evil... but still natural. It's the evil of cuckoo birds, frightened animals that eat their own young, killing out of self-interest. VERY serious insult.

Unnatural Evil/Cruelty/Sadism = Yaonyyw This is not something that cuckoo birds are even capable of. It's unnatural evil. It's pleasure at seeing another thing suffer, for no other reason than to see it in pain. It's what Clan cats think humans do when they cut the claws off their kittypets. It's unspeakable, but rare.

And on vows,

Promise = Minki NOT a holy vow. Just one you make between people. Also can be used to mean "reliable," "Capable of keeping promises."

Vow/Oath = Shemiyyo A sacred promise, one you make on authority of your holy name. VERY few things are vows of this level-- the most common vow to make is the one you do during your Warrior Name Ceremony, making an oath to uphold the code.

ONES I HAVE ON-HAND

I answered this ask a while back which includes the word for "talon," Chuag, the unretractable claw of a non-feline animal.

I also answered this one for beavers after you'd already sent this, beavers are actually England-compliant, surprisingly

Fallenleaf's name is over here, step-by-step walking through its etymology even! Her name in Clanmew, Wowaruss is basically "Leaf Litter," but literally "Beneathleaf," the fallen layer of leaves in a forest.

CRESS

THREE types of Cress. As a treat. Any of these can translate to cress if you'd like, or the alternate translations I'm including.

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) = Qwerru From Duck + Leaf, because this is a favorite fodder of ducks and geese. VERY unhealthy for cats, doesn't cause instant poisoning but WILL lead to kidney stones if eaten a lot. Thankfully, it also tastes Bad.

Stune (Cardamine hirsuta) = Berrsha Also called "Hairy Bittercress" in English, used as a medicinal herb. Widespread, very common, and seen in early Spring which can make it very useful for Clerics running low on other medicines. "Stune" comes from Old English btw. it's an archaic name for this plant but I do what i want. Language is an illusion and so are pants.

Rocket (Barbarea vulgaris) = Eberr Called "Bitter Wintercress" or "Yellow Rocket" in English, a much better version of stune. Pops up in abundant, cheerful flowers, hence the English name. NOT EATEN; used as a poultice for treating wounds.

Everything Else

Just a couple more things of assorted flavors;

Mark = Neb A scent marker, DOESN'T JUST APPLY TO SPRAYING but, yes, that is also a neb. A kitty "kiss" is also a mark being applied.

Anointed/Anointing/Will Anoint = Kembaneb/Kembane/Kemban To intentionally leave a mark, usually of a substance that smells nice, on a living thing. Has a spiritual connotation, used in some rituals. Can be used for a metaphorical kitty kiss, if your feelings are being returned, you're being brought into a family, etc. When Frostfur taught Cloudtail how to apply makeup to his dull, white pelt, teaching him how to look 'beautiful' as if she was officially accepting him as her son-in-law, THAT can also be considered an Anointing.

Border-Marked/Border-Marking/Will Border Mark = Ssognassa/Ssognass/Ssogna There's no way to get around this. This is spraying. It is urine. They are Cats. This is specifically when you are setting a scent mark, such as that for a border.

Glyph/Written Word/Character = Karm Like a letter! It's something written down. See the Glyphs.

And... rump. Honestly I'm always super confused by this one when I see it in Clangen? Like... My brain's always trying to place what that means.

Is it like, a tuft on the lower spine? Is it the "butt button" that makes a kitty stretch their booty up when you scratch it? Is it the flank of the upper leg? Does it just mean butt cheek?? Who wants to be named BUTTCHEEK?

SO HERE. HERE'S EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU PICK

Spine (the entire back) = Chabak

Rump-tuft, could also apply to "pantaloon" tufts as seen on some longhaired breeds = Chaofa

Rump/Butt Zone/sensitive spot on the lower back of a cat = Chawka (Also used to describe something they have a "soft spot" or passion for)

Belly Zone/Spot that cats don't like having touched on their belly = Bowka (Also used to describe "weak point")

Upper leg/Haunch = Pwaio Sometimes translated as the "foot" suffix. When used in a name, means quick to spring or a good runner, usually outside of WindClan.

Buttcheek = Soopen Also the present-tense of "Sitting." The butt, the thing you use to sit down with.

bombanon from some time ago here no idea if anyone cares but I'm back and I just finished tgl. FINALLY .something happened in my life that kind of distracted me from everything and I left it almost finished with only the epilogue left for like a month or however long I was gone. Either way I'm so emotional over it. so many cats died in such a short period of time that I legit have to go back and check who's left. I also wasn't so positive that dandelionfall survived lmao but oh my god???? Is that her???? Or is that someone else omg???? Is that chestnut with her OH MY GOD THEY HAD A BABY??????????? WHOS BABY IS THAT???? Is it theirs or did they just find it on the side of the road?? How far into the future is this where are they in the timeline right now? Did Flaxstripe find them??? Is anyone else there? Ouzelheart? Cranestar??????WHAT is happening I'm so excited I'm starting book 2 like right now. Also I wish I had the words to describe how much I like the way you characterize everyone ESPECIALLY pinefrost I find the way her character evolves throughout the book so intriguing and heartbreaking idk if the endless winter is split pov or just houndpelt (I'm assuming it's him) but if it's the latter I'm going to miss her SOOO much dude she's grown on me more than anyone else it's actually so funny how I didn't even know if I was going to like her at first but now she's my numero uno

omg hiiiii!!!!!! hope all is well with you!!! is that dandelionfall? is it cranestar? idk! fun fact tho that little epilogue was one of my fave things to write and match with the opening. also !! im so glad you like Pinefrost. i love how everyone loves her numero uno wet rat. (spoiler!) Endless Winter would have been cool as a split POV but unfortunately it is not : ( i do have Houndpelt and co POV work planned (and there is a Woolycloud mini fic)

Minor Schools in the world: Cranestar academy, Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada

Minor Schools in the world: Cranestar academy, Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada Cranestar admits a yearly intake of 140 students per year, with an average of 1300 students total per year. It is from the ages of 8-19 and is a boarding school based on the Sudbury education philosophy.  ---- Cranestar is a school that every magical (and non-magical) child would want to go to. Instead of having a set curriculum, students are encouraged to explore their own interests, from the forbidden art of necromancy to the history of alchemy. Lessons are then incorporated into these interests, making subjects more interesting to learn. For example, during their first week at school, Cranestar students, instead of buying a wand, make their own in a 10 day workshop that spans across two weeks. Through this, students not only get to make their own custom wand, they also learn the difference between magical animals, measurement skills and the volatility of magic. Students also make their own desks and brooms (therefore learning math and measurement, charms, and transfiguration), potion equipment (therefore learning about the dangers of using the wrong material for cauldrons and historical potions figures), and even have their own rooms which they can decorate to their liking, with the catch being that they can only use magic to do so. --- While Cranestar does offer workshops and courses, attending them isn’t mandatory and if a child wishes, they may go their entire time at the academy without ever interacting with a staff member. Many children who do not want to go through the 10 day workshop are free to experiment with wand making at their choosing, or even learn wandless magic. Students are encouraged to always ask another student first before approaching a teacher Cranestar sends out letters to any child in Canada. With the way the magical education system works in North America, magical children, regardless of where their family came from, do not need their parents to express permission to attend any school in the region, as long as they have a letter. 

[clansofthevalley5]

Cranestar- Large shorthair Tom, gentle giant, green eyes and a massive scar across his face that rendered him blind in both eyes. His right eye is missing entirely, his left is a milky green and can perceive light. His hair is slightly shaggy, his cousin Chirvilfrost (pictured below) helps him to groom as he firmly believes what he looks like is none of his business. A very fair leader, and StarClan's chosen founder of the newest clan in the valley, LightClan.

Chirvilfrost - Cranestar's trusty deputy and cousin. Chirvilfrost followed Cranestar on his slow flight from StormClan, ordered by Crane's brother Heronwing to keep an eye on him. She is Crane's most trusted confidant, and is highly respected in her clan despite her occasional absentmindedness.

[babybabyevilgirl]

[crfilmmaker]

Along with Based On A Grimm Fairytale, you can also check out my debut short film from over a year ago!

I present to you... Not Your Room 🎬

[jester-dragons-aus]

More warriors TADC!! Trauma cats!

What if I made Jax a villain? Yes!

So alongside "Abstraction" (some sickness that doesn't spread but can get got by some cats, goes by different name), Jax is going to be a villain in the story! How fun!!

(Kinger[Kestrilwhisper] and Caine[Cranestar] were apprentices at the same time [Kestrilpaw and Cranepaw]) (so was Queenie[Quailwing] [Quailpaw])

[trinitywc]

4 for the writing questions?

4) favorite character you’ve written - for TGL it's Pinefrost, obvs she's the MC, I love her chaotic thinking and how young she is, bouncing back and forth with all these ideas and struggles, give the girl a break she's just tryna appreciate nature. non-POV is defo Houndpelt, Cranestar (what little we've seen of her) and Blackwillow (who we may see...)

I also love Elmshadow from TND but he's a longgg way off now
