Gender non-conforming people, how do you feel when people use "work arounds" when referring to you? Two examples I've personally experienced are my wife's young siblings only using my name because their mother made it illegal to use the right pronouns in her house, and my brother using they/them pronouns for me and never using my name because using my name and he/him pronouns make him uncomfortable.

Hi there, love your BB AU! And lately, I've been curiously looking at Clanmew and how I would translate my OC's names. I have a gal named Posystar, and I was wondering how 'posy' might be translated in Clanmew? Do they have a word for it, or a word similarly describing a small bunch of flowers? I was also curious as to how I would translate her deputy Lotuswing, I know Lotus flowers aren't native to the UK, but is there a word that might similarly evoke the word? Also, would cats know specific shades of colors? (My healer gal is Cobaltfreckle) Are there words for them? Or are they more generalized? I noticed there wasn't a word for 'sting' in the lexicon? Then again maybe that's just me passing over it :) {For my man, Kestrelsting} I also couldn't find a word for mimic (for my gal Tempestmimic) Checking the lexicon there also isn't a word for borage, so I went to double check that it's native to the UK, but google wasn't being quite clear with me haha. (Boragedusk) I couldn't find the word bristle either, but I'm not entirely sure whether or not the cats would have a word for that, nor could I find a word for back (as in a cat's back). (Blizzardback) Looking up 'Junco birds' it says that they are very rare visitors to the UK, what would a good replacement for this prefix be? (For my bold lil kitty Juncopaw) And last but not least, the boy himself, Mitzy Moo Moo. I'm not entirely sure how to go about translating his name? He's a former kittypet. Would his name stay the same, could he pick a translation? If he did keep his name would it be pronounced differently? So sorry for the long ask! Feel free to ignore it :) I'm obsessed with your project and love the work and care you have put into it!

Lots of new words here, let me try my best! For Cobaltfreckle, Juncopaw, and Lotuswing, dive into the Lexi and try to take a look at the colors, birds, and lilypad words! I also linked some asks there that may be helpful. There's also a word in there for clusters of tiny flowers.

New words time!

Posy/Bundle/A pack of dried herbs, typically for storage or traveling = Rushe (Leaf + Dry) A "Posy" as I know it is a bundle of dried, smelly flowers, based off the miasma theory hypothetical that posited that the basis of all sickness was "bad smells" and environments. So the closest translation here is probably a package of herbs! Could also be used in the context of a "prescription." This is the bundle of herbs you will be taking-- one leaf a day, two leaves boiled at dawn and dusk, etc. These are still administered by the Cleric though.

Stung/Stinging/Will Sting = Kskaib/Kskai/Kska The sharp pain of disinfection OR an aggressive insect attack-- can refer to biting or stabbing. The sharp, sudden pain is the most important part here.

Imitated/Imitating/Will Imitate = Shesapab/Shesapa/Shesap A more positive association for mimic! This implies flattery, or an attempt to pick up a useful skill through observation. Owlstar picked up hunting skills from an owl through this. An apprentice is expected to do this with their mentor.

Bristle = Shech A thick, stiff hair. Associated strongly with boars, but also some types of plant fibres pass beyond "needle" and arbitrarily become bristles, like the frayed end of a chewstick used to clean teeth.

Hackle = Chefaf The especially long hairs that lay along a cat's spine, and stick straight up when the "hackles are raised." LOTS of words are used interchangeably with these to be poetic, including bristle (defensiveness), harmless thorn (bluster or bravado), or even tall grass (excitement/chills)

Hackled/Hackling/Will Hackle = Makekes/Makeke/Makek The act of raising your hackles-- the line of fur down a cat's back! Instead of describing this very common action as "His hackles started to raise," they describe it as, "He was hackling."

[hashileio]

Can I juggle the bitties? (With their permission and a pair of soft gloves of course)

(Is this how you take requests?)

Hope you don't mind, but I dressed you for the part too.

Don't let your dreams be dreams, anon. Become the bitty juggler you were meant to be.
