#mando’a extended dictionary

[ranahan]

hukan (n.): cloak, cape, poncho

Roughly equivalent construction to English “coverall”, or “one which can cover all”. So any garment that achieves that effect.

[ranahan]

Kar’taylir tor bal nu davaabir bic, dushne ehut.

Lit. “To know justice and to not carry it out, [is] the worst cowardice.”

Tbh the word ehut here carries both the senses of cowardice and despicability. It’s literally “Hutt-ness,” i.e. letting others suffer for your benefit and fight your battles and bear the risk, therefore cowardly and despicable. Mandalorians despise Hutts because they let others fight their (real and metaphorical) battles for them.

“To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.”

— Confucius, Analects

[mandalorianbrainweasel]

So I’m dicking around with a concept of basically the Canon (or my perception of it) Galaxy of GFFA and an AU Galaxy where the divergent point was roughly a thousand years before the Clone Wars get shoved together so basically double planets and the Mandalorian Empire of AU Galaxy and the AU Republic and Jedi Order are allies in a current war with the Sith Empire (am I dicking around with that concept too? yes) and my AU Mand’alor is meeting Jango Fett because Reasons and this exchange happens. Long post so under the cut.

Tagging @izzyovercoffee​ because of Mando’a bullshit I did.

Then, the Mand’alor moves to the Mando’ad in silver and blue and extends their arm. “Mand’alor Te Gotabor.”

The Mando’ad moves to clasp their forearm, only to be interrupted by the feral grins of his compatriots.

“Really?” he asks them, looking exhausted by them as they continue to grin. “Fine.” He turns back to the Mand’alor and grasps their forearm. “Mand’alor Te Haat’la, ruyot’ad Te Vercopaca.”

Basically, I’m further dicking around with language and titles. Titles, in this case, is me going “hey what if like the Moghul Empire the ruler takes a name symbolizing their goal as a ruler when they come to power” and making that their political name most of the time, like Naboo and Queen Amidala (yes there is dicking around about Naboo too. TWO characters have doubles in the AU Galaxy, one of them is Palpatine and one of them is Yoda and both have wildly different backgrounds tho Palps is still a Sith).

BUT LANGUAGE

I had an idea of what I wanted AU Mand’alor’s name to be. Translated to English/Basic, it’s “The Builder” but I felt “The Engineer” as a direct translation probably fits considering Te Gotabor is known for building fantastical fortress cities and the largest army in the galaxy (either one tbh). 

So I turned to Jango and went “what would his have been?”

I actually decided to do Jaster Mereel’s first! Because Jango came after “The Reformer” so that would probably have some effects on him and his government.

I chose to do “Te Vercopaca” which is (again) me dicking around. I took Vercopa, which is “wish; dream” and squished in the “kar” of “mandokar” which refers to a person who is Mando, who has the Right Stuff (mandokarla is the adjective form). Basically, this was me trying to make a good “The Reformer” title. I’m still not *happy* with it but yk.

[By the by, when Jango says “ruyot’ad” he’s referring to being in a lineage of Mandalor’e. Very formal way of saying he’s Mand’alor and the son of the previous/a previous Mand’alor. Exact translation is “past child” tho.]

So, what would Jango have done?

I also based both his and Te Gotabor’s titles off of their personal perceptions of themselves. Te Gotabor was raised by gorane, smiths. Jango is from a family of farmers. I thought about giving Jango a title related to that but there wasn’t a lot of great words already available. So, considering my idea of him tending to Jaster’s ideals but not making any big changes himself I decided that English/Basic translation is “The Steady.”

Best synonym we’ve got in the dictionary? The True. So, I decided to get “steady” or “traditional (kind of)” I’d go “Haat’la”. Why make it an adjective instead of a class of sentient like Te Gotabor and Jaster? Because he’s not “truth” he’s “true”. 

And thus, Mand’alor Te Haat’la.

Really, this is mainly me just dicking around. But I wanted to show people my thought process!!

I've never been a huge Star Wars fan, but all your recent posting about Mandolorian(?) Stuff and extended EU *stuff* has gotten me really interested. Do you have any recommendations for beginner reading for the EU, focusing on the Mando'a(?) ((Also you're one of my favorite blogs and helped the resurgence of my SCA habits, and now I have an etsy store for jewelry and am in the process of patterning out and hand sewing Landsknecht garb...)

@mandowords is a blog full of mando words and a few videos teaching the language

http://mandoa.org/ has a mando’a/english dictionary

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWI5exrT3rg_HfuGS3OXNkQ videos going over mando’a pronunciation and words

For beginner reading in the EU, I’d personally start at Shadows of the Empire, set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Then Truce at Bakura, which takes place immediately after Return of the Jedi. Then go for the Thrawn trilogy, the Rogue Squadron books, and whatever else looks interesting.

More thoughts:

I’ve seen jua’vod (from juaan) suggested as a term for cousin (originally coined by Batsutousai, I believe). But try saying that quickly a couple of times: it would pretty quickly corrupt into ja’vod. Which I rather like—it looks superficially like “good-sibling,” even if the etymology is actually different.

So your cross-clan relatives could be called:

Cousins (regardless of how far removed or the exact relation—think “clan person of same generation”) would be either vod or ja’vod, depending on how familiar you want to be. I’m thinking ja’vod is more like “there’s a clan-relation there but I don’t know them personally” kind of a connotation. (Ja’)vod’ika is of course also an option for younger cousins.

Aunts and uncles (or clansmen a generation older than you) would be ba’ja’vod (I just didn’t like how ja’ba’vod sounded like :P) or ba’vodu, depending on familiarity.

But people of your grandparents generation would typically merit either ba’buir or another honorific. Elders are respected, after all.

Clan and kinship are important in Mandalorian culture. So I think it would be very common to (invite people to) use familiar terms even for distant relations. I’m thinking the more distant terms are very polite (it wouldn’t be rude to use them), but it’s that politeness itself that creates a distance. So they can be more loaded terms than the English equivalents.

Or use just the canon terms. It’s a working system without any additions.

i keep trying to phrase a post as like a helpful tip for people who like worldbuilding but. i have to be honest with myself. it is not a helpful tip because no one asked for it. i just want to rant about kinship terminologies.

Hi! I skimmed your blog, but couldn't find anything on Mando'a for tattoos and related topics. Are there any words/roots in fanon or extrapolations from canon that you'd use for tattoos and such?

I don’t think I have written anything about tattoos, no! And I didn’t have anything in my dictionary either.

The English word for tattoo is a loan from Samoan tatau, which comes from ‘to tap, to strike,’ from the traditional method of tattooing.

And well, this delves pretty far into speculation and headcanons, but there’s one root in Mando’a that could mean the same thing: *dad. I’ve backformed it from dadita, the mando tapping code. The end -ita seems to be a couple of suffixes smashed together (compare kelita, shokita, akaata, etc), leaving the root *dad-. I first thought it might mean something like ‘tap,’ but then I was delving into dialectal English (mostly Tyneside/Geordie and military and naval slang) to figure out some etymologies, and it appears *dad just might come from Geordie dad, ‘blow.’ In my dialect, I’ve used it as a root meaning “rap, knock, tap.”

So back to tattoos! If you wanted to repeat the Polynesian etymology, then tattoo could be something like dadun, dadan, daduk, dadur, etc.

Or alternatively, you could of course derive it from somewhere else or compound it from some other existing roots. For example, Aay’han Community’s dictionary has bev’salan, which is meant to translate to ‘needle-colouring’ I believe. Umei no Mai has pelga’dan, ‘tattooer,’ from pel’gam, ‘skin,’ demar, ‘to carve,’ and -an (same suffix as in e.g. goran). I might have made these something like besal and degam or dengam or demagam instead, but that’s just a different style of compounding.

Random headcanon:

I see fics where mando characters (like Jango) denigrate the tea of other characters (like Jaster, or Obi-Wan) as “leaf water”. But like… shig is *the* drink in Mandalorian culture. Yeah, people drink caf, but it’s still the secondary option.

Tea is served anywhere and everywhere. Business deal? Negotiation? Getting to know someone? Welcoming guests? Tea.

Coffee may also be served, but it may be an afterthought and of a considerably worse quality than the tea (the equivalent of stale bagged tea next to the coffee service)

Coffee is called ne’tra behot or ne’tra shig. Actually, most non-alcoholic fancy drinks are called something-shig, because it’s just that ubiquitous it’s almost a synonym for a drink.

In Mando’a, it’s a shig’ud, not coffee break, and shig’yaim, not café.

tldr: Calling shig “leaf water” would be the equivalent of calling coffee “bean juice” in English—it makes the character calling it that seem eccentric more than the character drinking it. Or else marks them out as someone who grew outside of the Mandalorian space where caf is more common than shig.

prudii bal rang

Lit. shadow and ash

The meaning is "(not even) (with) the help of gods". From the epic Dha Werda Verda that recounts the battle between the Taung and Battalions of Zhell, where a massive volcanic eruption turned the Taung's last stand into a victory and was consequently seen as a (sign of) help from gods.

Prudii bal rang! For heaven's sake! Ti prudii bal rang. Gods willing (lit. with shadow and ash, figuratively “with help from the gods”). With a lot of luck. Ne ti prudii bal rang. Not a snowball's chance in hell (lit. not with shadow and ash, figuratively “not even with the help of the gods”).

[ranahan]

The compound kad+gam would probably result in > kagam and cab+gam > cagam. Mando’a doesn’t do stop+stop combinations, and tends to elide the first stop of such combinations even across syllable borders. It might even become ga’gam: as k and g share the same place of articulation and only differ in voicing, it would be easy for the voicing to “spread” to the initial stop as well. It might then become reanalysed (or folk-etymologised) as a reduplication of gam (which would also be gagam). Or even go’gam, as Mando’a also tends to dissimilate two consequential back vowels, and go’gam could be analysed as “artificial/man-made skin” which would also be an acceptable construction.

Kal-gam could become > kalgam (liquid + stop combinations are common), or it could also merge together with kagam.

Here are a couple more possible words for sheath:

hukad (n.): sword sheath; any large sheath (for things that are approximately sword-sized or larger, also used for smaller double-edged blades like daggers)

hukal (n.): knife sheath; any smallish sheath (for things that are approximately knife-sized or smaller, sometimes used for larger single-edged blades like axes as well); needle cap

Both are formed from hukaatir, ‘to cover’ + the thing being covered. See this agent nouns in Mando’a post for a discussion about why I think this is a valid construction.

Reading through all of your stuff about mando'a and toxic masculinity etc...has it ever bothered you that the word for sheath is an awful lot like the word for woman? Cause that bothers me. Idk if I'm reading too much into it or if it's because I'm used to looking for subconscious sexism stuff in languages.

Oh yes, lmao … this has bothered me for a very, very long time. It’s very … well, it’s very offensive. There isn’t any which-way about it, and it’s not subtle whatsoever. I actually find it fairly upsetting, in the way that once you actually see misogyny for what it is, it’s impossible to then return to being blind to it.

So, I’m gonna do what I do best, and come up with an alternative word first, and then break down why that word in the mando’a dictionary is a shitty fucking word and just an overall shitty thing to do that has no context and no basis in the language, and why it has no place in mando’a. 

Mostly because I intend to put the breakdown on why the word sheath, derived from the word for woman, is fucked up beneath a cut in the event people don’t want to be accidentally triggered—the fact is there are a lot of uncomfortable to violently misogynistic implications in that vocabulary decision, and while I don’t want to mince words, I also don’t want to accidentally harm anyone who’s just looking to have the alternative word.

So … Let’s find other words for sheath.

kad’gam / kal’gam / kald’gam — sword sheath / knife sheath / blade sheath

From the words for sword, blade, a smush of sword and blade bc I liked how it sounded (very scientific), and from ‘gam, a suffix used to indicate skin or a physical cover. ‘gam is not so much a word that exists on its own but rather a modifier, and its uses in beskar’gam, armor (lit. mandalorian iron skin), and pel’gam, (lit. soft yielding skin), we can infer what ‘gam is meant to indicate.

Another word for sheath:

cab’gam — protective skin

So … do we need multiple words for sheath? Actually, yes. I’d even go so far as to suggest it’s weird to only have the one.

First of all, mando’a has multiple words for blades. There are specific words that refer to very specific blades. Knives and swords are differentiated. Sheath, just as a word, should not have a one-size-fits-all term when mandalorians are very specific when it comes to the type of weapon they’re using to do battle,

Departing from the weapon terminology, mandalorians also have many words for stab. It’s to the point that it’s joked they have 80 words that are just variations of stab and the act of stabbing, of inserting a blade into a person with intent to do bodily harm.

Stabbing, to mandalorians, is a nuanced thing. It requires many different words for specificity.

Again, wrt the development of words, usually one or two is enough. To have more than that? Means that mandalorians, as a community, view nuance with weapons, and the act done with that weapon, as necessary.

So, again, because of the above … there should not be only one word for sheath. It just doesn’t fit, pardon the pun, because just as there are many different types of blades … there are also different types of sheaths. It does not do to have a requirement of specificity for the weapon, and the different ways in which to fully utilize that weapon, and then not also be specific for the protective cover of that weapon.

The logic just doesn’t follow.

And now … my breakdown on why the word for sheath, derived from the word for woman, is misogynistic, transmisogynistic, heterosexist, and homophobic all in one piss poor conlang decision.

I want to say … strong warnings for: transphobia, misogyny, cissexism, homophobia, mentions of assault, victim blaming

And yeah, I know. “All those warnings for one word?” 

Yes, unfortunately. This is one of those moments where on first glance, you might know something is wrong but not how wrong, and why it’s wrong. I am going to try to explain the why alongside the how clearly, and to do that is going to touch on a lot of topics and references that are or can be upsetting.

I also just want to say when I say “you” I’m referring to a general you, and not you, the anon, specifically. In case that gets confusing. Sorry lol.

All right, here we go.

There’s nothing wrong with the existing Fando’a words for a book. None of them compel me though. Here’s a thought that just came to me:

taylaar, lit. “hold a song” or “song-holder”

Could literally be translated just as “a holder” or “a preserver” too.

Since Mando’a is supposed to be mainly an oral language and histories are encoded in songs. So a “song holder” would be a history book (or a genealogy—one of the first kind of things written down to be preserved), which would eventually come to mean a book of any kind.

[ranahan]

Eventually I’m gonna get this thing edited and eventually it might even have a search function…

Dral’Han & derived words

I think Mando’a should have a whole bunch of words indirectly or directly derived from Dral’Han aka the Mandalorian Excision, and I finally got around to making some.

Ahan (n): desolation, waste, wasteland, desert

I’m really leaning on the “desolate, lifeless” sense here, not just some place that receives less rainfall. Ahane is applicable to any lifeless place, whether that’s a hot desert like Tatooine, a cold desert like Antarctica, lava flats like Mustafar, or a man-made hellhole like Melida/Daan. Very much the same energy as “wastes” in English. I’m thinking Mando’a has another word for “wilderness” or “arid landscape” as well, that leans more on the drought and less on the annihilation.

Construction is equivalent to viin ‘run’ > iviin ‘speed’ or vaar ‘early’ > evaar ‘new’. Should possibly be ehan(?), but I didn’t like the sound, so.

Ahanyc (a): desolate, barren, wasted, deserted, empty, lifeless

Ahane (n): lit. wastes, barrens, deserts. A collective term for the Mandalorian deserts formed by the Dral’Han.

Hane (n): wastes, barrens, deserts; a common part of place names on Mandalorian worlds affected by Dral'Han (e.g. Sundar’hane, the Sundari Desert aka the Sundari Wastes)

A more casual/contracted version of ahan/ahane that could be extended to mean other kinds of deserts as well.

Ahan’choruk (n): lit. desolation rock. Metamorphic rock formed by the heat and pressure of the bombs of the Dral’Han; a general term for impactites formed by bombs instead of natural processes.

Hanil (n): 1. An amulet, carving, or other item made from the glass formed in the Dral’Han. Sometimes left in their natural, irregular shapes, sometimes worked into shapes of extinct Mandalorian plants and animals, sometimes carved with inscriptions. Botanicals are common motifs due to the green colours of the material. Specimens that incorporate pieces of pre-Dral’Han material are especially valuable. Hanile are symbols of remembrance, defiance, and rebirth for some and pursuit of peace for others. Sundari had a famous large mosaic made from desert glass, in a style preceding Mandalorian cubism.; 2. a sigil in the shape of a hanil, typically in a jade-green color and shaped like an extinct plant or an animal, often a flower or a leaf.

Inspired by Māori pounamu and jade carvings of various other cultures.

N.B. trinitite is radioactive, although the radioactive particles decay quite fast. After a couple of centuries, it should have been safe. Trinitite from the Purge of Mandalore during the Galactic Emprie however, would still be somewhat radioactive at the time of The Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett—not terribly dangerous, but not exactly something you would want to make jewellery from.

And then there should also be a name for the stone that hanile are made from, i.e. basically a Mando’a word for trinitite, but it’s not quite congealing right now. Bedral, behan, hanab (be + han), tehan (teh + han)? I would have made it dralurok, but I already had that down as “diamond”. Basically I’d like there to be a general term for the subclass of metamorphic rocks formed by nuclear weapons (which I imagine are many and varied depending on where the bombs dropped), and a more compact “trade term” for the specific kind which makes pretty trinkets like hanile.

? (n): trinitite formed in the Dral'han, aka Mandalorian desert glass, aka Mandalorian jade (called so after its greenish colours)

Headcanon accepted! Mixed ancestry makes a lot more sense than essential sensory organs being sexually dimorphic.

However, if you wanted to use the canon explanation, there could be some subtle quirk in foetal development or an incompatibility between Twi’leki and human genomes, that meant that male foetuses with mixed ancestry were more likely to develop ears rather than cones, even if in aggregate both sexes could develop either cones or ears depending on their specific ancestry.

Btw, I’m loaning this into Mando’a in the absence of any native terms. I think terms for alien physiology (features that were not present in the Taung) would be prime candidates for loan words. I have a similar loan-word etymology headcanon for Togruta montrals, but head-tendrils would probably have a native Mando’a word, for example.

I think it would become either chara (pl. charase) or char (pl. chare), depending on whether the -a would be analysed as a (archaic) plural suffix or not—they do become naturally in pairs, after all. It could even become charan (pl. charane), if people usually spoke about them in plural.

Ears Vs Cones

One of the more well-known physiological characteristics of Twi’leks is the presence of their ear cones or tcharan [sing. Tchara] in the place of ears in some members of the species.

According to the official canon, females have cones and males have lobed ears. This makes very little sense to me. Yes, there are sex-linked traits, genetically, that is a thing. But having sensory organs with completely different functions honestly doesn’t seem reasonable to me, partly because of my head-canons on what exactly tcharan do. It’s safe to assume that if the females are in an environment that requires the functions preformed by the tcharan, then so are the males.

Short version of the above, I came up with ideas that I like a lot better than the official “differently shaped ear-things that work exactly the same as human ears.”

So what do tcharan do?

Planet Mandalore, after being glassed by thermonuclear weapons. Here’s a closeup:

So that’s similar to real-life Trinitite (glass formed by the heat and pressure of atomic bombs), like this:

Image by Shaddack

Now that’s from the Great Purge of Mandalore, but Mandalore has been devastated by or orbital bombardment before in the Dral’Han and I think we can assume it looked similar, if less complete.

The fandom-assigned color meaning is light green for lust for peace. The peace movement on Mandalore rose in response to the Dral’Han. What’s the chance they picked that color to symbolise the devastation that war had brought to Mandalore?

Maybe I’m slow and this is obvious, but I just blew my mind by realising it. Not sure if teal for healing is related or not.

Mando’a word for light green wouldn’t be something like “spring green” or “jade green” but something like “desolation green.” Ahan’vorpan, maybe.

[ranahan]

Today’s word:

shuk’lalat, tongue twister (lit. tongue-breaker, a calque of German der Zungenbrecher)

[ranahan]

What do you think is the correct word for "greater Mandalorian space"? I've seen 'Mandalase', don't remember where though, and have been using Tra'Manda in my own fics. Is there anything established in canon/fanon?

Good question! I’ve pondered it myself and the answer I’ve arrived at is that there should probably be several words.

See, what is meant by “the greater Mandalorian space” probably varies depending on the time and the speaker and the context, because the Mandalorian civilisation is a bit like the Roman civilisation: do you mean Rome the city, Rome the administrative region, the Roman Empire, or the Roman world as a cultural area?

For Mandalore we have at least these different senses:

Mandalore the planet (“Mandalore actual” or Manda’yaim)

Mandalore system (which includes at least three other inhabited planets and moons)

Mandalore sector

The entire area of space administered by the Mandalorian government (which is never really defined in canon)

Mandalorian Empire (historical)

The wider Mandalorian cultural area/area influenced or historically a part of the Mandalorian Empire

The indented words are from the unedited parts of my dictionary, so they are somewhat tentative and I’m not necessarily married to them. However this is what I currently have.

#1

The first is easy, the planet Mandalore is called Manda’yaim in Mando’a.

Manda’yaim: 1 the planet Mandalore, the fifth planet in the Mandalore system, capital world of the Mandalorians; 2 during periods of diaspora, can also refer to other Mandalorian areas or enclaves

haat’manda’yaim: Manda'yaim proper; planet Mandalore in contrast to its satellite Concordia, other planets in the Mandalore system, other Mandalorian worlds, or Mandalorian enclaves of the Mandalorian diaspora

#2

The Mandalorian system we can probably form directly from the word for a star system, perhaps Mando’tolase, lit. Mandalorian system, assuming tolase is also the word used for star systems and not just for other kinds of systems (not sure which way I lean on it tbh). Or Manda’tolase, if you subscribe to the fandom take that the star Mandalore is named Manda (or a variation thereof).

Or people might colloquially refer to the Mandalorian system also as Manda’lase.

I imagine there’s probably some kind of interplanetary law which defines what area of space is considered to belong to a planetary system and what is “international waters”/deep space.

#3-4

The third is what I suppose you were asking about. I’ve seen Manda’lase all over the place, but I don’t actually know where it came from—if anyone does know, please let me know! Linguistically the derivation goes something like this: manda ‘the shared Mandalorian oversoul’ > manda’la ‘having the Mandalorian soul, i.e. Mandalorian’ > Manda’lase ‘all of Mandalorians collectively’. In any case, I rather like it and have been using it myself since it seems about as established as anything in Fando’a.

Edit: Manda’lase appears to have been coined by Batsutousai; thanks for @johamur for pointing it out!

Mando’tra, Mandalorian space could also work. Manda’tra, substituting the word mando ‘mandalorian’ for manda ‘soul’, sounds to me a bit like the emphasis is on the shared culture less than the shared administration. Not that Mandalorians themselves necessarily see a big difference there.

It’s unclear whether Mandalore sector refers to a geographical area or an administrative region. I guess in everyday speech, people might conflate the two and use Manda’lase for both. So you might end up with a definition something like the following:

Manda’lase: 1 Mandalorian space; 2 Mandalorian system; 3 Mandalorian sector (colloquially)

In any case, I haven’t come up with a word for sector I like yet, although it’s on my list of needed words.

#5-6

For the historical Mandalorian Empire, I have:

Mando’alorai (or Mand’alorai): 1 Mandalorian Empire (historical); 2 still sometimes used of the regions that used to be governed by the Empire as a cultural area

alorai (n): 1 empire; 2 realm, domain, holding, governed area

Where alorai is either a portmanteau of alor + veeray, or alor + the same nominal suffix -ai we have in e.g. parjai.

Another option is:

Ori’Manda’lase: Mandalorian Empire (lit. Great Mandalore); Greater Mandalore, the historical region of space once controlled by the Mandalorian Empire

ori’manda’la (a): imperial (of Mandalorian Empire specifically, not other empires); of or belonging to Greater Mandalore, the historical region once controlled by Mandalorian Empire

ori’manda’lase tugoten (n): Mandalorian Empire Revivalism (Revanchism), an ideology on Mandalore that supports the revival of the Mandalorian Empire and a return to Mandalore's conquering days.

ori’manda’lase tugotenii (n): Mandalorian Empire revivalist, a supporter of Mandalorian Empire Revivalism. Tugotenii for short.

I’m using revivalism and revivalist over revanchism and revanchist, because in the Star Wars universe revanchists could be confused with supporters of Revan.

In any case, I think context should determine whether you mean the historical empire as a nation state, or the historical empire as a current area of cultural influence. Most reasonable beings would use Mandalorian Empire in either of these two senses, but then you have the likes of Tor Vizsla, who’d probably use a term with a similar sense to “Greater Russia”, i.e. areas that “should” belong to or be returned to Mandalorian governance.

I have some other scattered words and thoughts about Mandalorian government and citizenship, but this is already pretty long. In any case, that’s what a quick search through my dictionary file brought up, hope you found something to your liking!
