I'm curious to know what the Children of the Watch are called in Mando'a.....

Lots of people (understandably) assume they must be related to or synonymous with Death Watch because of the word "watch", but Kyr'tsad, the Mando'a name for DW, actually translates to something more like "death society"— kyr: end, tsad: alliance, group, etc.

It would make sense if COTW have a Mando'a title that includes the tsad root, as that's probably a pretty generic descriptor for any sect/group/faction, and not an indicator that they're related to any other group with a name sharing that common root.

Who knows why or how it came to be translated as "watch" in Basic.... that's a speculation topic for another post

#plus the way bo katan referred to them in this ep makes it sound like COTW and the groups like it predate DW #if i'm correct in assuming that by 'splintering our people' she means the clan civil wars that led up to tcw era and satine's rule #however the fact that din was rescued by dw mandos yet grew up in cotw brings us right back around to them probably being related somehow #maybe they're not related and the mandos that rescued din were dw defectors who hadn't updated their armor yet?..... idk i need answers #headcanons #star wars #mandalore politics #mandalorian spoilers #mandalorian s3
