FAMILY TITLES AMONG THE HILL TRIBES
(ft. various linguistic notes and tangents)
In-universe Brakul’s self-given title of ‘Red-Dog’ is Brakul 'ne-Dainh' in his native language (Bict-Urbinnas dialect of the Highland language group) and Brakul 'Chin-Reyla' in Wardi. Ne-Dainh/Chin-Reyla is not something he treats as or considers an actual surname or identity, just a self-styled nickname. He already has a title.
Family names/surnames are not a native practice among the Hill Tribes (though some clans or individual families have adopted this practice), and all traditionally use titles that designate immediate ancestry, clan and tribe. These full titles are officially given when one comes of age and are spoken aloud in ceremony (with the entire direct male and female lines listed by name, with most traditions expecting 12 generations of each being named).
The function is to cement one’s sense of place in the world, and their place in a direct ancestral line, which puts the person under the full watch and guidance of their ancestors. It's also a critical method of recording lineage- the long held practice of each person memorizing at least 24 total direct ancestors allows for very long, largely accurate records of family history to be kept, with some people able to trace their ancestry all the way back to initial settlement of the Highlands (or even beyond).
Brakul’s full title is:
“Brakul virsum Kuligan et Borunil an Briyonis ne-Taig an Bict-Urbinnas”
Which dead literally translates to “Brakul son of Kuligan and Borunil of the Foothills (of) Red-Cattle, of the North (Urbin/Erubin) River Valley” but has a much richer meaning in the original language.
"BRAKUL VIRSUM KULIGAN ET BORUNIL"
The actual meaning here is closer to ‘Brakul, son of Kuligan and his father’s fathers, and Borunil and her mother’s mothers’.
“Virsum” means ‘child (son/daughter) of’ (the gender is contextual), but implies the person’s status as a descendant of a full male and female line of ancestors. A different word is used if you’re just saying ‘I’m so and so’s son”. The title describes him as a son of his father Kuligan and of Kuligan’s male line, and of his mother Borunil and Borunil's female line.
All ancestors (within this particular system of kinship, divided into one direct male line from the father and one direct female line from the mother, and not including husbands from the female line or wives from the male line) are invoked and credited with the word ‘virsum’. Speaking it as part of the personal title is part of the routine and necessary honoring of one’s ancestors, who watch over their descendants from the afterlife and can temporarily return to the land to guide and protect (and sometimes punish, or teach sharp lessons to) the living.
"AN BRIYONIS NE-TAIG"
The actual meaning here would be understood as ‘clan/people of the foothills where cattle are lit red by the setting sun'.
‘Briyonis’ is the word for ‘foothill’, citing his clan’s specific location being the foothills that form the slopes of the north Urbin river valley. He is of a lesser clan within the powerful North Urbin River tribe. His clan benefits from close affiliation to their more powerful ruling clans located directly in the river valley, which grants them access to a greater variety of cultivated foods, but their actual position in the foothills still renders them predominantly reliant on cattle for subsistence. Clan names referencing cattle or horses are very common, given their frequent centrality to life.
The ‘ne-Taig’ literally means ‘red cattle’, but the ‘ne’ color word for red specifically invokes shades of red seen in and cast by a rising/setting sun. This red cast is culturally regarded as a unique beauty and evocative (and part of the name) of the solar god Hraighne. The foothills his clan is physically located on are a vantage point from which the western horizon is not fully obscured by mountains, and they experience very striking sunsets and are directly touched by the light. This is fairly unique to this location, and is invoked in the clan name and identity. ‘Ne-Taig’ here suggests a visual of grazing cattle illuminated red by the sun as it crosses the horizon.
‘Ne-Dainh’ carries the same implication, a dog illuminated red by setting sunlight. The Wardi language does not have a comparable word for a sunlit red and ‘Chin-Reyla’ really does just mean ‘(orangeish) red dog’ (‘reyla’ is specific to orangey-red colors, which is the closest match he could get. There’s no way to impart the meaning of ‘sunlit-red dog’ in Wardi that is non-clunky enough to be appropriate for a name).
"AN BICT-URBINNAS"
‘an Bict-Urbinnas’ is fairly simple, Bict means ‘north’, and 'Urbin' is the name of the specific river that stems from a northern and eastern tributary. This river has a very ancient name (or a derivative of one) that predates settlement by the Hill Tribes, and its exact meaning is lost.
The root -(n)nas designates a river valley, but has strong implications of being an esteemed and bountiful place, rather than solely a literal geographical descriptor (as the river valleys are centers of power and trade in the highlands). It may be a loanword from the Wardi language family, as its usage is VERY similar in form and function to the Wardi -(n)nos, which also suggests a place of esteem and bounty (more specifically having connotations of a kingdom).
’An’ literally means ‘of’, but in the specific sense of describing the place and identity of a collection of people. ‘an Bict Urbinnas’ would be understood in speech as ‘of the north Urbin River Valley (people)’. The clans historically settled in and around the valley of the North Urbin River form the totality of the Bict-Urbinnas tribe.
The ‘Urbin’ word predates the contemporary Wardi name ‘Erubin’ for the river, the latter of which invokes the semi-mythological founding figure Erub, who himself was of a Wardi tribe located downriver to the south of the Highlands. The real historically extant ‘Erub’ was most likely named Urub after the river, with his cited name shifting over the centuries in folklore, and the Wardi name for the river shifting with it.
‘Erubin’ as a corruption of ‘Urbin’ functions very well in Wardi language due to ‘-bi/bin’ denoting something as a ‘gift’, usually in a more metaphorical sense. ‘Erubin’ is understood as meaning ‘(The river that is) Erub’s gift’, and the Erubin/Urbin river is a key tributary to the much larger Black river, one of the key rivers that feeds the region's wetter and more fertile west. This 'gift' meaning also occurs in the name of the southeastern Imperial Wardi city-state Erubinnos, which is understood as meaning ’((The kingdom that is) Erub’s gift’. He is considered to have conquered and taken the land (from the core city's actual founders, the Wogan people) and established a kingdom there in the early days of warring Wardi tribal monarchies.
#Just dropping this randomly because it's a pretty complete lore dump in my notes app#Family names are a big fucking deal in the Wardi cultural sphere and not having one is associated with being a bastard or otherwise#displaced or unwanted. If pressed Brakul either fully lies and says 'ne-Dainh' (which will just come off as 'oh it's some foreign name')#Or lists his actual title (not a family name but equally important). Sometimes listing all 24 generations if he's particularly annoyed.#It's only strictly necessary to memorize 12 ancestors in each line but it's considered good practice to be able#to cite associated non-direct ancestor husbands/wives/siblings/etc. That's where the tattoos as a mnemonic device comes in#It's easy to memorize 24 ancestors but very difficult to memorize 24 ancestors and at least some of their family members#And remembering and honoring the dead by name is of great importance- both puts you under the protection of more#ancestors (including non-direct ones) and ensures the dead's status in the afterlife is secure (it's believed that fully forgotten#dead leave the celestial fields and can no longer directly intercede with the living- though with some additional nuances to what#constitutes being fully forgotten)#Venerating and remembering the dead is a huge focus of cultural practice and additional methods are used to safeguard#ancestors (and other honored dead without descendants) whose names have been forgotten. There's one yearly holiday focused entirely on#the nameless dead where they are invoked and honored via little straw dolls that are burnt in bonfires high in the mountains so the#smoke is sent up to the Fields. It takes weeks of preparation and tens (maybe hundreds idk I'm bad with scale) of thousands of#dolls will be made each year across the Highlands for this purpose. Honoring them with effigy even without name is usually#considered enough to safeguard their afterlife for at least another year.#Also yeah kinship systems among the Hill Tribes (and very similarly among the Finns) follow a male line/female line system#Only father's father's fathers (...) and mother's mother's mothers (...) are considered direct ancestors (though all four grandparents#are sometimes honored as ancestors even if only two are considered DIRECT ancestral kin- this tradition varies)#Inheritance systems are somewhat matrilineal given that a wife is considered the owner and arbiter of property and a husband is#its protector and active manager. If a man and woman from different clans (or tribes) marry any children will be considered to be of#the clan/tribe of whichever spouse does NOT relocate in marriage.#Whether the husband moves in with the wife or the wife moves in with the husband is dependent on an arbitration process#and the husband (and his family) being able to provide a bride price (which is somewhat of a payment for the land/property#the wife's mother will be passing down to the new husband's management should he move in- and displays his ability to care#for and provide valued assets. A man who can provide a bride price tends to receive greater respect)#This is most commonly going to be livestock (and almost ubiquitously includes a single cattle to be butchered for the wedding feast)#But can include other valuables or assets like land or grain/seeds or etc. There is no intra-Highlands monetary system and the internal#economy is built on trade. So Imperial Wardi currency is mostly useless but is sometimes given in marriages between clans with strong

While the media has been focusing on Palestine for the past month don't let stories about women elsewhere fall through the cracks.
Haitian women and girls bear the brunt of the escalating violence, warns IRC during 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign
MEDIA CONTACTS
Kim Winkler - International Rescue Committee [email protected]
Everardo Esquivel - International Rescue Committee [email protected]
IRC Global Communications +1 646 761 0307 [email protected]
Content warning: Discussion of rampant sexual violence
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, December 4, 2023 — Gang violence continues to escalate in Haiti, with women and girls especially targeted with extreme acts of gender-based violence (GBV), including collective rape, in order to humiliate, terrorize, and consolidate control over local populations. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is calling on the international community for urgent funding needed to increase access to protection services and health care for women and girls, including to ease their recovery through psychosocial support.
An alarming spike in kidnappings has been reported, with nearly 1,000 cases confirmed so far this year, almost matching the total number documented for the whole of 2022, and close to three times more than the entire previous year. Women continue to be highly exposed to rape and kidnappings while travelling along roads controlled by gangs.
The IRC collaborates with four Haitian partners, mainly in the West department of Haiti, to provide vital services. One of the partners, women’s organization MARIJÀN, conducted a survey among 299 women and girls in marginalized neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince in May 2023, which showed that 63% of women had been forced to relocate because of the level of violence they experienced in their neighbourhoods, one in five said they had been victims of rape, and 17% had experienced physical violence.
Nathalie Eleonor Vilgrain, General Coordinator for MARIJÀN, IRC partner organization in Port-au-Prince, said:
“Women and girls are faced with an inhuman social reality. In marginalized neighborhoods, they are exposed to physical and psychological violence; beatings, intimidation, gang rape and murder are just some of the methods gangs use to establish their domination, and force women and girls into total submission.
“The few women who manage to escape from these neighborhoods, and who have taken refuge in camps for displaced persons in the Port-au-Prince area, are not exempt from situations of mistreatment and abuse, physical and verbal aggression, sexual exploitation, forced pregnancy.”
With support from the IRC, MARIJÀN has assisted over 800 survivors of sexual violence between the months of May and September, providing psychological support for individuals and groups as well as providing other services to prevent and respond to GBV, including running legal workshops. Nearly 100 women have benefited from cash assistance and economic empowerment.
Nora Love, IRC Emergency Director, said:
“Haiti has seen political instability and unprecedented levels of insecurity for more than a decade. The intensifying brutality that Haitians are facing is extremely worrisome, especially for women and girls whose vulnerability is further exploited by gangs with ever growing influence throughout the country.
“Accessing protection and health has already been difficult due to overwhelmed public systems. Extreme gang violence is endangering our partners’ ability to carry out their work, further exacerbating the vulnerability of our clients.”
Political instability, gang violence, rising food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and climate shocks have led to 5.2 million people being in need of humanitarian aid in Haiti, according to the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan. More than 5,400 victims of gang violence, including almost 3,000 murders and over 1,000 kidnappings, were reported byUNFPA between January and late September 2023. The consequences of the violence that is reaching new departments outside the metropolitan area of the capital Port-au-Prince as organized gangs attempt to extend their areas of influence, are evident in the number of internally displaced people in the West department,surpassing 146,000, of whom more than half are women.
The IRC’s response to the Haiti crisis
The IRC has a history of supporting Haiti throughout the worst impacts of crises since the earthquake that devastated the country in 2010. In December 2022, the IRC launched a response through emergency donations and longer-term support to Haitian partners working in Port-au-Prince, initially focusing on cholera prevention, running mobile health clinics for internally displaced people and support for survivors of gender-based violence. Additionally, the IRC serves Haitians on the move throughout the arc of the crisis in countries where the IRC has a programmatic response, including Mexico.

THINGS TO THROW AWAY DURING RELOCATION TO EUROPE
Relocating overseas, especially Europe, is an exciting experience filled with opportunities and adventures. However, moving internationally can also be a logistical challenge, particularly when it comes to deciding what to take with you and what to leave behind. Streamlining your belongings before a move is not only practical but also helps reduce shipping costs and clutter in your new home. In this article, we’ll explore the things you should throw away or donate during your relocation to Europe to ensure a smoother, lighter, and more organized move.
1. Outdated or Unused Electronics
Electronics are often among the heaviest and most cumbersome items to move, and many of them may not even be compatible with the electrical systems in Europe. European countries use a different voltage standard (typically 220-240 volts) compared to many other countries, so some of your electronic devices may not work without a transformer. Additionally, power plugs in Europe are different, so you would need adapters for many of your devices.
Before packing up your entire collection of gadgets, assess which electronics are truly worth the hassle. Items like old televisions, DVD players, and other unused or outdated electronics should be disposed of or donated. If you have specific devices you use regularly, such as laptops or mobile phones, consider whether they are compatible with the electrical systems in Europe or if they’re due for an upgrade.
What to Throw Away:
- Old phones, computers, or tablets that are no longer functional or needed.
- Large appliances like microwaves or hair dryers that may not work with European voltage.
- Old cables, chargers, and adapters that no longer serve a purpose.
2. Clothing That Doesn’t Suit the Climate
When relocating to Europe, it's essential to take into account the climate of your new destination. Europe’s climate varies from country to country, ranging from the Mediterranean warmth in southern Europe to the colder, temperate climates in northern and central Europe. Moving to a new region is a great opportunity to reevaluate your wardrobe and get rid of clothes that won’t be useful in your new environment.
For example, if you’re moving from a tropical region to a colder European country like Norway or Sweden, it might be time to say goodbye to some of your lighter, summer clothing and invest in warmer attire. On the other hand, if you're relocating to a Mediterranean country like Spain or Italy, you may not need heavy winter coats or boots. Sorting through your wardrobe and donating clothes that won’t be suitable for your new environment is an easy way to lighten your load.
What to Throw Away:
- Clothes that no longer fit or are worn out.
- Heavy winter gear if you're moving to a warmer European region.
- Light summer clothes if you're relocating to colder parts of Europe.
3. Bulky Furniture
Shipping large, bulky furniture across continents can be both costly and impractical. Most international moving companies charge by volume and weight, so moving heavy or large furniture can add significantly to your relocation costs. Moreover, furniture that fits well in your current home may not suit the style or size of your new place in Europe. Many European homes and apartments are more compact compared to those in other regions, so it’s worth considering whether your larger furniture pieces will even fit.
Additionally, certain furniture pieces may not match the aesthetic or design commonly found in European homes. Instead of shipping furniture that may not work in your new home, it’s often more practical to sell or donate these items before you leave and buy new furniture when you arrive.
What to Throw Away:
- Old or worn-out furniture.
- Bulky items that may not fit in smaller European homes or apartments.
- Pieces that don’t match the design or aesthetic of your new home.
4. Books and Magazines You Don’t Read Anymore
While books can be cherished possessions, they are also heavy and take up a lot of space when moving. Relocating to Europe is a perfect time to sift through your book collection and decide which ones are worth taking with you. If you have old textbooks, novels you’ve already read, or magazines you’re unlikely to revisit, it might be time to let them go. You can donate books to local libraries or second-hand shops to lighten your load.
Additionally, with the rise of e-readers and digital media, you can easily store and access your favorite books electronically, eliminating the need to transport physical copies. If you’re a frequent reader, consider converting your library to a digital format, which can make your relocation much more manageable.
What to Throw Away:
- Old textbooks or reference books that are outdated.
- Magazines or books you’ve already read and don’t plan to reread.
- Duplicate copies of books or titles you can easily access digitally.
5. Expired or Unnecessary Food and Pantry Items
It’s important to remember that food items can’t always be shipped across international borders, and some countries in Europe have strict regulations on what types of food products can be brought into the country. During your relocation, take time to go through your pantry and refrigerator, discarding any expired or unnecessary food items. Spices, condiments, and perishables should be left behind, especially if you’ve been storing them for a long time.
Many European countries have well-stocked grocery stores and supermarkets, making it easy to replace food items once you’ve settled in. It’s best to use up what you can before your move and avoid the hassle of trying to transport food that may not be allowed into your new country.
What to Throw Away:
- Expired food products, spices, and condiments.
- Opened pantry items that may not travel well.
- Perishable items like dairy, frozen foods, and fresh produce.
6. Old Paperwork and Documents
While it’s important to bring essential documents like passports, visas, and financial records with you when relocating, you don’t need to carry boxes of old paperwork to your new home in Europe. Many people accumulate years’ worth of paperwork, such as old bills, receipts, or outdated contracts, that they no longer need. Sorting through your documents and shredding what’s no longer necessary can free up space and reduce the weight of your belongings.
Consider digitizing important documents before your move. By scanning and storing files electronically, you can keep track of necessary paperwork without the need to transport physical copies. Be sure to retain any legal or tax documents that may be required, but clear out the clutter where possible.
What to Throw Away:
- Old bills, receipts, and paperwork you no longer need.
- Duplicates of important documents you have stored electronically.
- Documents that are outdated or irrelevant to your current situation.
7. Sentimental Items with Little Practical Value
Sentimental items, such as old souvenirs, greeting cards, or memorabilia, can take up a lot of space, and while they hold personal value, they may not always be practical to bring on an international move. While it’s important to keep certain keepsakes that have significant meaning, relocation is an opportunity to declutter and part with items that no longer serve a purpose.
Consider taking photos or creating a digital archive of sentimental items to preserve the memories without having to transport the physical items. This allows you to hold onto the memory without adding unnecessary bulk to your move.
What to Throw Away:
- Souvenirs or trinkets from past travels that don’t fit into your new home.
- Old cards, letters, or memorabilia that hold little significance.
- Sentimental items that are damaged or deteriorated over time.
Conclusion
Relocating to Europe is a chance for a fresh start, and decluttering before the move can make the process much smoother and more cost-effective. By sorting through your belongings and deciding what to throw away, you’ll reduce the stress and costs associated with international shipping. Let go of unnecessary items like outdated electronics, bulky furniture, and expired food, and focus on bringing only the essentials to your new home. With a more organized move, you’ll be able to settle into your new life in Europe with ease.

Planning for Moving Key Suggestions for International Relocation
Embarking on a chapter in a different country is an exciting journey yet it presents its own unique set of obstacles. Adequate preparation is essential to ensure a move. Here are some crucial recommendations to assist you in preparing for your relocation.

Familiarizing yourself with the culture, climate, cost of living and local traditions will facilitate an adjustment to your surroundings. Furthermore delve into the real estate market, educational institutions, healthcare services and public transportation systems.

Work Permits; If you're relocating for employment purposes ensure you obtain the permits or work visas.

After President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 paved the way for their removal, Japanese-Americans sold their homes, farms and businesses, often for pennies on the dollar. While incarcerated they worked menial jobs for $12 or $16 or $19 a month — hardly enough to survive on, let alone save for a new beginning. Unable to return to their farms — restrictive covenants and alien land laws often banned Japanese-Americans and their Japanese parents — many who worked on or owned strawberry or lettuce fields before the war moved to Los Angeles and became gardeners, trying to settle into an urban life for the first time in their lives.
Los Angeles, which was home to the largest ethnically Japanese community in North America before the war, was changing, too. The War Relocation Authority, the federal agency tasked with operating the 10 internment camps, worked to empty those camps as quickly as possible following Roosevelt’s closure order in December 1944. The W.R.A. shuttered almost all the camps in the fall of 1945. (One camp, Tule Lake, remained open until March 1946 to house “disloyal” incarcerees.) Each internee received $25 and a train ticket to wherever they wanted to go.
Housing was strained to the seams across the United States, but the situation in Los Angeles, described by one official in October 1945 as “full of dynamite,” was especially dire. More than 1.3 million people — roughly one out of every 100 Americans — moved to California between 1940 and 1944. The California State Reconstruction and Reemployment Commission estimated that 625,000 new homes would need to be built to accommodate the growth in the five years following the war, including 280,000 in Los Angeles County alone. During the war, Little Tokyo first became a ghost town, then swelled with Southern Black workers arriving for defense jobs; for three years Little Tokyo was known as Bronzeville. It was into this chaos that the W.R.A. planned to unload 1,200 incarcerees each week that fall.
By the end of 1945, a month after closing nine of the 10 W.R.A. camps, thousands of Japanese-Americans returned to the West Coast with nowhere to live. Those who couldn’t find other housing took rooms in $1-a-night hostels carved out of prewar hotels and Buddhist temples, or trailers and repurposed Army barracks.
Communities with as many as 1,000 residents filled mazes of barracks and trailers in El Segundo, Hawthorne, Burbank, Inglewood and Santa Monica. Even Lomita Flight Strip, an airfield used to house and train squadrons of P-38 fighter pilots 17 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, was converted into housing. To get into Los Angeles to find work required 85 cents each way, and a four-hour round-trip by bus. Charlotte Brooks, a historian, described the camps as “isolated ghettos that perpetuated the hardships of incarceration.”

The Presidential Proclamation 2537 which required that Americans from Germany, Italy or Japan must register with the Department of Defense, was issued on January 14, 1942. Proclamation No. 2537 permitted the arrest, detention and internment of enemy aliens who violated restricted areas, such as ports, water treatment plants or even areas prone to brush fires, for the duration of the war. Roosevelt reluctantly signed Executive Order 9066, which sent many Japanese-American families into internment camps, on February 19, 1942.
