2022 Lexember: an assortment

Tin ‘border, edge’ is composed of the glyph wap ‘robe, cloth’ with a mark on the bottom, like an upside-down bird in flight, marking the bottom edge of the garment.

(Previously I talked about glyph ‘operators’ and how they work in Yuktepat: https://at.tumblr.com/yuk-tepat/130430235153/ng0wm6eofqn6 and https://at.tumblr.com/yuk-tepat/132899594653/zbzddceblmt1)

Tuy ‘spout’ is composed of the glyph for kham ‘kettle’ with a mark on the right side, indicating the spout.

Ngôk ‘barren’ is composed of the glyph pel with a loop above it, representing negativity. The base glyph represents a berry, so ‘no fruit = barren.’

Mow ‘bag’ representing a stylized bag with a drawstring on the right side.

Lwaq ‘not be’ is a negative copula / negator of predicate nouns. (Yuk Tepat does not have an affirmative copula, although its relative Yuk Notoq does.) Etymologically, it is a metathesis from *walʔ and related to wal ‘different.’ It sounds very much like laq ‘palm (of the hand), which is drawn with the hand glyph and a V-shape inside it (right side of the image). The glyph lwaq replaces the V-shaped indicator with the negative-meaning ‘loop.’

Mûk ‘point, indicate’ shows a HAND (tey) on the left side, and the phonetic muk (TREE) on the right.

Ngil ‘look for, search’ shows an EYE with an animal skin kil under it. Kil is the phonetic hint for ngil. Ngil has developed a more specific sense of ‘have an audience with.’ Ngil contrasts with qul ‘look for’ which refers to looking for things.

Tow, depicting a curlicue-thing like a rolled blanket, means ‘roll (up), wrap, wind.’

Hôw 'be afflicted, suffer from" is made of the phonetic yôw on the left. The right side is a truncated image of a scorpion, with the tip of the tail marked by the V-shaped operator glyph, hence 'sting.' This itself serves as the semantic radical for various words relating to pain and illness.

Verb Suffix: -Qo’

-Qo’ Rover Don’t!, won’t

This suffix is a Rover, in that it always comes last in any suffix order, except Type 9 suffixes which always come after -Qo’. This is the last Rover on the list, after -be’, -Ha’, and -qu’.

Used with an imperative verb prefix, -Qo’ always means Don’t! -

yIqetQo’ Don’t run! pejatlhQo’ Don’t talk! HIja’Qo’ Don’t tell me! HISujQo’ Do not disturb me! ghoSujQo’ Do not disturb us! tIvemmoH Don’t wake them!

Used on a non-imperative verb, without an imperative prefix, it means won’t, imferring a refusal rather an an inability.

pa’ jaHQo’ They won’t go there DItavQo’ We won’t shake them ‘oy’Qo’ Dochvam This won’t hurt Sojvetlh SopQo’ He won’t eat that food bIwupQo’chugh qaHoHnISQo’ If you won’t burst into song, I won’t have to kill you Duj DaraQ ‘e’ qachaw’Qo’ I won’t allow you to manually fly the ship bIpaj ‘e’ qachaw’Qo’ I won’t let you resign

-Qo’ can be used for a number of auxiliary words such as chaw’ allow. Used with ngIl dare (v) and an imperative, it becomes one of my favourite Klingon phrases, used on machines which seem to be playing up on me.

yIngIlQo’ Don’t you dare!

Use with the adverbial jay’ for appropriate emphasis-

yIngIlQo’ jay’ Don’t you FUCKING dare!

twh:

i've heard my mother called me and asking gi kuha ba daw nako ang fifty (50) pesos sa selopane na gibutang niya. and, i answered yes kay gi sukli nako sa nipalit na customer kagaina. i was blind kay kadtong gi lahi mao to ang first halin sa new year's eve. and it's their tradition i guess to keep the halin. idk para aha(?) or maybe, for business stuff since we have a small sari-sari store and internitan. at first, wala ra nako gi pansin ang yaw-yaw ni mama kay huna-huna nako basin mo stop ra siya. but no, si papa nag start nag butt's in and i can sense na nag strong na siya for that fucking fifty (50) pesos. ga duet sila ni mama to the point wala nako nakaya nga gi ignan nasab ko'g "ambot aha ang utok ana" and bubbling "kung mangiskwela gani mo, manarbaho... so on and so forth." mura mag in that scenario murag bulok na jud ko bitaw? naka feel pa jud ko'g kaulaw kay naa si ate (which is my half sister) na naka dungog. nawala nako sa poise. I stand up and nisulod ko sa kwarto dala akoang foods then, ni ingkod ko sa bed and start scrolling through my phone to avoid crying kay nasakitan jud ko. minutes after nisulod si mama and starting nasab mag ingon ug "ngano nisulod manka? kabalo baya ka na ang halin to sa first day unya gi sukli pa jud nimo kadaghan blah blah blah..." " dili ka mugawas? ni uli imuhang ate kay once a week rana maka uli (since she's working sa other city.) unya, bya-an nimo." "unya, gidala pa nimo ng mga makaon unsa may pasabot nimo ana? utruha ng batasan nimo ngil-ad." and then i burst out to cry. grabe, gipa feel na gani sa akoa na bulok ko, worthless and na ignan pa gyud ug ngil-ad ug batasan sa part nga gidala ra nako akoang food sa room kay i was upset. you think ma in that scenario/actions ngil-ad na jud diay ko'g batasan? what do you mean? na i-pareha ko nimo sa other relatives namo na hilig ga keep ug food and selfish shit actions just by doing that shit? yawa. dili ba pwedi mag walk out ma kay nasakitan ko? dili ba pwedi mag walk out kay naka feel kog kaulaw? not just si ate maka dungog but the people who surrounds us. as always, nothing's new man ma/pa never ninyo gi na validate amoang feelings, emotions, mental health. murag gusto ninyo kami permi mag adjust kay kumo kamo always rights just because older mo? usba ninyo na mindset please lang. dili healthy, dili maayo. toxic kaayo mo. kamo raman gahimo ug butang na mag ampo mi na unta maka agto mi ug place kung aha ma-feel namo ang freedom nga deserve ug para namo.

A Review Of NGIL

After 6 years, I figured I should finally write a review as I’m about to buy another one. I originally bought this for my husband because he was always stealing a similar tote that was gifted to me. Flash forward to him using this and also using my old tote for construction equipment (seriously babe?!) and mine getting destroyed. Now we fight over this one! It’s 6 years old and looks great still, was sturdier than my other one. Now I’m here to buy another one. We use this thing all the time. I put all my groceries in it to make only one trip into the house (we LOAD it up!!), we take it on trips and put pillows/blankets/etc in it…we have used it to move houses twice… I mean it’s an everything kind of bag. Couldn’t live without it at this point!

Customer Q&As

Q: is the metal bar removable?

A: The metal bar is not removable. It forms the top rim of the tote. However, the side rims (square shape) which are attached to the top rim will fold up which makes the tote able to collapse flat. It will remain the same length though and does not fold up any further.

Q: Are the handles black or brown?

A: Mine are brown

Q: Is this size considered XL or L?

A: I would say it’s xL. It’s a very nice bag.

Masque Ngil Fang, late 1800s

Wood, fiber, and paint (56 x 22 x 31.8 cm)

Denver Art Museum: Gift of Fred H. Riebling, 1942.443

This type of mask was worn by the Ngil—a secret society banned by French colonial rulers in 1910—during initiations, ceremonies, and processions. The society’s name means “gorilla,” and the masks arched eyebrows and broad, rounded forehead may be meant to model the face of a gorilla. The mask was originally white—a color that the Fang associate with ancestral spirits, death, and male virility.

[kemetic-dreams]

The Beti people are a Central African ethnic group primarily found in central Cameroon.They are also found in Equatorial Guinea and northern Gabon. They are closely related to the Bulu people, the Fang people and the Yaunde people, who are all sometimes grouped as Beti-Pahuin peoples.

The Beti are found in northern regions of their joint demographic distributions, the Fang in the southern regions, and others in between. Estimates of the total Beti population vary, with many sources placing them at over three million spread from the Atlantic coastal regions near Equatorial Guinea into the hilly, equatorial forest covered highlands of central Africa reaching into the Congo

The Beti people are Bantu people who once lived in northern parts of Central Africa, with a complex, undocumented and debated prehistory. They likely moved into equatorial Africa in the seventh or eighth century, then further southwest in central Cameroon between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, likely after waves of wars and slave raids from the Fulani people. They were also a targeted source for slaves and ivory by the Hausa people.

Their initial migration in the 17th century was from highlands and forested regions east of the Sanaga River towards south and west. They continued to face jihads and violence from the north by the Fulani people (also called Fulbe or Fula people), abandoned their settlements and migrated further into southern parts of central Cameroon till the 19th century when European traders and colonial forces intervened as they sought trade and markets.The first European power to create a colony that partly included the lands of the Beti people was the German Kamerun colony in 1884. After the first world war, the German colony was taken over, divided by the French and the British colonial powers

Allegations of cannibalism

In 1856, Paul Du Chaillu met the Beti people. He published a memoir about them in 1863. The memoir mentions his arrival on the Atlantic coast and being told by local people about the cannibalistic Beti people. When Du Chaillu met the Beti people, he saw skulls and bones near their settlement. He immediately took these for cannibalism and wrote about it in his memoir. Later visitors such as the ethnographer Mary Kingsley in 1893–1895, who did not speak the Beti language or live with the local people, saw the same sighting, and titled her book "A Victorian Woman Explorer among the Man-eaters".

In 1912, a Christian missionary named Father Trilles visited them, learned the Beti language, and wrote a more objective ethnographic account of the Beti people. More accounts about the Beti people began appearing after World War I, but were often stereotypical and most emphasized about their alleged practice of containing bone relics in reliquary boxes. These alleged practices were used to justify violence against them and the enslavement of Beti and Fang peoples.When their villages were raided, thousands of their wooden idols and villages were burnt by the slave raiders.The French and the British colonial officials suppressed these practices.

The Tarzan character (1918) was set among the Beti people of equatorial central Africa.

As scholarship about the Beti people grew in the 1900s, according to John Shoup, the collected evidence suggests that the early rumors and allegations of cannibalism were wrong.The Beti people were not cannibalistic, the skulls and bones in the open and in the reliquary boxes were actually of their ancestors. The practice of collecting the bones were a way of remembrance and religious reverence for their dead

                                 The Tarzan story The initial reports of alleged cannibalism attracted widespread attention, supported the oft-stereotyped and presumed African barbarianism, then became a part of fiction and popular literature at the turn of the 20th century. Among the most famous was the novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs, which created the popular Tarzan character. Burroughs set his novel near the village of Mbonga, among the Beti people and their closely related ethnic group called the Fang people.

The initial Tarzan story, where infant John is discovered by apes and raised by a female ape, built on the colonial era stereotype of cannibalistic Africans in the equatorial forests.The story, states Shoup, provided a contrast of "pure uncorrupted" noble Tarzan in the midst of a barbaric cannibalistic society. The Tarzan syndicate became a global sensation, was widely followed, created some 89 movies in the 100 years that followed, and launched numerous comic strips and television series, many of which providing a distorted stereotyped view about the people from the African equatorial forest.

The traditional occupation of the Beti people is farming, particularly of yams, cassava, corn and plantains as staples. Since colonial times, many have adopted cash crops such as peanuts and cacao.They are skilled artists and craftsmen, particularly in iron and wood handicrafts. However, these craftsmanship are nearly extinct because of urbanization and modern trade flows.

The traditional Beti society has been organized at the village level, typically with its borders fenced and fortified with watch towers to protect the inhabitants from wild life of the rain forests and intruders. Outside the village compounds were carefully concealed traps, as another line of defense against slave raiders. The villages have tended to be politically independent of each other, centered on a lineage called Ayon or Mvog.They are a patrilineal people, and disputes are typically settled by a due process led by a headman. The Beti revere their ancestors, and known among other things for their artistically produced reliquary boxes called the Byeri. They store the bones of their ancestors in these reliquary boxes, which were used during rites of passage, with their sophisticated masks called So (animal-faced) and Ngil (human-faced).

The Beti people practise double exogamy, that is typically married away from both father's and mother's lineages. Another notable aspect of their society has been the concept of Mebala, a type of potlatch, where wealthy families ceremoniously gather and give away their wealth to the poorer families
