[nabooro]

*Victorian orphan voice* spare any conjugations, sir?

I’m writing some Naboo-based fics and I’m sprinkling in some of your Nabooro for ✨effect✨ (probably will never be posted but I’ll drop your @ if I ever do)

Relatedly, I compiled the pronouns into a table, and I’m assuming a nominative (green) and combined accusative/dative (blue)

I also grabbed the possessives and reflexives (green for singular, blue for plural). I didn’t see any first person possessives or any other reflexives, but it’s entirely possible I missed them in the dictionary.

But yeah, can only get so far with infinitives unless they’re just used as-is.

Relatedly, is it a straightforward past/present/future deal? Or do they get fancy with it? Throw in perfect tenses? Plusquamsperfekt (does that even exist in English? I only know it in German) or subjunctives? What about command form (imperative, I think)?

Side note, I’m assuming that adjectives don’t have endings due to the lack of gender, but do they have regular comparative and superlative forms?

Anyway, don’t worry if this takes awhile or even gets broken down into multiple posts, I know it’s kinda asking a lot. I only know enough about linguistics to read IPA and overthink when to use // and []. Keep up the good work 🫡

Hi!

First off, I'm wildly flattered that you'd want to sprinkle some of my silly little language into something you're writing! I'd be happy to help / clarify any questions you have anytime re: that.

Regarding pronouns - you're right, it's Nominative, and a combined Accusative and Dative. The 1st person sing. possessive is nod, and the plural is tad.

The reflexive damâ is kind of used in place of what in English we might call the 'royal we'? It's more like a deeply formal and rarely used version of 'I' than the reflexive as it's used in English, used to refer to a removed version of yourself. Not a lot of people would have cause to use it often, just the ruler and their handmaids, and anybody in religious mask that is meant to negate self-identity. Those who would use it wouldn't use it interchangeably with 'I/me' - when applicable, you are at all times damâ. I hope that makes sense!

Verb conjugations... I have them. Unfortunately, they're an absolute menace to explain in any way that's not just ... a table, I guess. Stay tuned, I guess; I'll try to set up a table for that. Unfortunately I also have more irregular verbs than I would like there to be, which is just something I'm dealing with.

The conjugation system accounts for number and person, as well as conditional statements, subjunctives, pluperfects, and imperatives. [nervous laughter]

This is why I simply haven't gotten to putting it on here. But this is excellent reason to do so!

Adjectives are easier. No accounting for case, just bare forms. The comparative version of adjectives is just loon [adjective], translating to 'more [adj]'. The opposite would be shishee [adj], which means 'less [adj]'. There isn't a superlative form per se, just a matter of emphasis and phrasing.

Please feel free to drop into my DMs for further info on anything specific while I work on that conjugation table, and hope this helps!

The fuck when you are thinking about a part of your ocs story you havent yet figured out and then you realize that it would make quite a bit of sence for them to get thrown into a black hole by the gods above only for them to fucking.

Eat it.

They eat a fucking black hole.

Tag Game: Top 10 Albums

tagged by @corpocyborg :3 tagging @fly-amanitaa @streetkid-named-desire, @totentnz and @theviridianbunny (no pressure of course)

Rules: List your top 10 favorite albums, and (if you want) include a brief description for why each one made it onto the list. Then, tag 10 (or however many you want, really) others to do the same.

#1 - Sunset Tree: The Mountain Goats

The album that got me through the part of college where I lived in dark places- home to the well-known This Year which gets many people through the dark days of January, and the less-appreciated Broom People which never fails to catch me by the throat. Try hard to do your best- the Magpie comes at noon. Heartbreak and defiance all the way through.

#2 - Salt for Salt: Brown Bird

The next in a line of bitter, rebellious albums. Folk is at its best when it flirts with blasphemy, anger, and cynical acceptance. The middle-eastern influence on their music always draws me back to Brown Bird in general but this album is my favorite by far from the languid bleak Chairkickers to the hypnotic instrumental of Shiloh which is etched into my brain. RIP Dave Lamb.

#3 - A Southern Gothic: Adia Victoria

Found this album on a random Bandcamp Friday and have been reaping the rewards since. Adia has a voice that is both powerful and deliciously soft, and I never get tired of listening to her. Mean-Hearted Woman is my favorite for giving me the shivers when she sings so prettily of revenge but My Oh My is close behind for the haunting loss.

#4 - Rock Bottom Rhapsody: Pokey LaFarge

Pathetic masculine romantic is a weakness of mine and this album delivers. Swingy, jazzy, blues-y all the way through, with that bit of self-aware but sincere longing. End of My Rope was my introduction to the cheerful celebration of being Utterly Fucked, but Fuck Me Up has a soft place in my heart whenever I lose the ability to give a shit and also to remember fondly of that time I went drinking in Chicago.

#5 - Helplessness Blues: Fleet Foxes

The Fleet Foxes have a special place in my heart for introducing me to indie folk and influencing my tastes for the next decade. Helplessness Blues is one of my comfort albums that I like to play on repeat when I feel like shit. Battery Kinzie is my favorite but the eponymous Helplessness Blues is also one I sing frequently to myself. Also hilariously, the second funniest song I have ever heard on a pre-tourney playlist. Mad-Dog ya weirdo that is the opposite of a warm-up song.

#6 - The Art of Drowning: AFI

One of three albums on this list I learned of from my sister, and dear to me for the time in which she burned it for me. This album is inextricably linked to Metroid Prime to me, which I would play while this was playing on my translucent blue boombox. I used to quote the lyrics from these songs to my friends on Yahoo Messenger and put in my Gaia signature, just to date the period. If I need to sell AFI to you I won't try.

#7 - The Relationship of Command - At the Drive-In

The second album my sister burned for me when she went to college. One of those nostalgic albums that's stuck with me, and okay not to get pretentious or weird but the first time I realized art could be hard and weird and good because of that. Invalid Litter Dept. remains the best and most heartbreaking song on the album.

#8 - Polka's Not Dead: The Dreadnoughts

My third sister album. The Dreadnought's energy always fills me with delight, and I am normally an autistic hater of loud live music and venues but I'd love to hear this guys playing in a bar some day even though it'll probably never happen. Most of their songs are fun to sing along with (especially when tipsy) but I personally enjoy Poutine and Sleep is for the Weak.

#9 - With Teeth: NIN

Got a soft spot for NIN in general, but With Teeth is probably my favorite album with a lot of strong songs in general, but most importantly with my favorite pair of soft NIN songs at the end: Beside You in Time and Right Where it Belongs, which as with all NIN songs are perfect for silverv.

#10 - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright!: mewithoutyou

If you've made it this far, congrats, here is where I say that I actually liked some of the music my christian church band leader shared with me when I was in highschool. mewithoutyou definitely has religious tones but does not suffer from the praise jesus fever so I love them for their eclectic tone and songs about parables. The Angel of Death Came to David's Room and The King Beetle On a Coconut Estate are my personal favorites, although it feels wrong to not then round that out with The Fox, The Crow, and the Cookie.

Roca Blanca

30 k north of Puerto is Roca Blanca beach, an empty stretch of sand that runs some 5 k south, past a crocodile lagoon, a few stranded fishboats, 1 zillion coconuts, and not much else. At the beach entrance are maybe 10 palapa restaurants, but on a weekday only Jose and Lulus is open. Friendly family run, jose skin dives and spear fishes for the table, while his wife Lulu cooks with her daughter in the board shack kitchen. Beach front palapa, the usual plastic chairs, full shade from a palm thatch roof, and a 180 degree view of the ocean, beach and Roca Blanca one half K offshore( a rugged 2 hectare rock topped with coarse low growing greenery, and deeply coated with white guano, giving it it's name.) There are numerous reefs just breaking the surface offshore, and the corner of the bay is a picture postcard pocket beach turned from the incoming surf, safe for swimming

Access from Puerto is by one of the many vans that do a set run from Puerto to Pinotepa 50 pesos to Cacalote turnoff, maybe a one half hour ride, depending on which cowboy is driving and how often they pass a tractor/coke truck/ motorcyclist/ or anyone fool enough to dawdle. Even with a safe driver, it's nerve wracking, since the oncoming traffic often contains some yahoo who just has to struggle past a truck on a blind curve. Vans don't carry cargo like in Asia, but this one had a 20 kilo bag of powdered milk on the floor,which was topped by a tippy carton of 1oo's of eggs. Hold on at corners!. These vans are how locals shop, visit, and travel. Surprising how many people fit in a van!

At the turnoff the driver kindly pulled well off the road, so we did not have to jump out into traffic. Paid our 50 pesos each, and happy to arrive safely. No taxis in waiting which is unusual, so we walked in. (AM, still cool in the tree shade) i walked with Leslie from Savary island and we chatted about coastal things and island life. Dirt road after Cacalote's cement, coco palm plantations, cattle pasture, and just plain bush. Gordon and Maru, also from Casa Dan, dawdled behind. Effusively greeted by Lulu, we ensconced in the breezy chairs, and had cold drinks. I lucked out and got a green coconut with sweet milk and spoon meat, one of my favorite foods. Wave watching is mezmerizing, and this time was wildly enlivend by a humpback whale one half k offshore who twice breached three quarter out of the water in a vertical leap,falling back with an almighty splash. Huge!

Getting hotter despite some hazy clouds, so time for a swim. I'd packed the night before, but as 2 of my 3 swimsuits were drying on the line i somehow neglected to pack the third one. Duh! However, since the beach was empty i just walked a half K south and skinny dipped. Given that my ass is so white, from a distance it probably looked like a suit anyway. Small surf, easy entry, saw no rays(Leslie did) and it was fun to frolic in the gentle waves, pretending to body surf.

Back at the palapa, everyone broke out books or chatted Nice to socialize, and leslie was able to speak fluently in Spanish, giving Maru a change from the sea of English, She's from Mexico city, and while her English is improving, I know how frustrating it can be to struggle for the appropriate phrase or difficult word.

By noon it was time for lunch, a menu specializing in seafood. The daily special was a filet of a fish whose name I've never heard, cooked with garlic and a bit of rice. Firm white flesh, mild flavour and very fresh. Jose's catch of the day. At 270pesos($20) it was pricey, but more than even i could eat. I still find it odd that Mexicans want to eat rice rather than fresh corn tortillas. Rice does not grow here on the coast. In reality, most of the food consumed here is imported from the interior or down south in Chiapas. The main agricultural crop is peanuts and papayas with mangoes in season. Oddly too, there are no fresh peanuts in the markets, papayas are expensive, and mangoes imported from the Yucatan. Mangoes are flowering, and will overwhelm the local market in April/may. Papayas are exported. Locals grow corn in home fields, or on stripped off hillsides, but it's easier to but corn flour or tortillas from the many torterias in all markets and most neighbourhoods. The mercadoes are full of fruit, all delivered from other places and consequently expensive. in the 3 months I've been here , prices have risen 10%. Still cheap for chicken ($3 pound), and tortillas fresh from the comal ovens are 5 for 10 pesos. Mexico banned GM corn.

Siestas all round after lunch, in hammocks slung along the palapa poles, then more chats, swimming, beach walking, lo-fing. Some how it got to be 3:30, and we called for our bills. Jose kindly drove us out to the highway in his nice four door truck, saving us a hot walk, and a van zoomed along shortly after that had lots of empty seats. There are at least 3 van company operating this route, drivers giving their counterparts a friendly finger wave. Fewer close calls, back to puerto quick, and a combi truck full. Back home by 5 pm. A very satisfactory day, so much so that I'll do it again next week. Having lounged around puerto for 2 months i am motivated to get out to wild spots. No takers for the hot springs walk.I may go alone on that one. likely back to Agua blanca with Pete, Jill ,and Lorraine next week.

MADE IT TO SANTIAGO WITH ST. JAMES

WF UPDATE: Day 14 (7/15/23).

With the help of Saint James, and all of you, we have arrived in Santiago! Yahoo!!

Many of you probably doubt that Saint James watched over our journey. If you’re in that group, consider the following:

1. Last night, the weather forecast called for rain until Noon today. At 4:00 a.m., it was raining pretty hard and the forecast said the rain would stop by 7:00 a.m. At 6:00 a.m., it was still raining and it looked ugly outside. I decided to push back our normal departure time. At 7:00, it didn’t look like the rain was going to stop soon. I figured that we couldn’t wait all day. We put on our rain gear and hit the trail at 7:15 a.m. The rain stopped at 7:45 a.m. By 8:45 a.m, it was so sunny that we put our rain gear away. We had some slight drizzle for 10 minutes around 9:30 a.m., but then we walked in sunshine the rest of the way. All in all, the total washout didn’t happen and we had a pretty easy time. We’ve had great weather for about 98% of the trip. I believe that Saint James was bringing the sunshine. You’re free to form your own belief.

2. At least 1,000 Pilgrims arrived in Santiago today. From start to finish, we’ve probably shared the trail with a few thousand Pilgrims. Several times, we’ve bumped into a nice guy from California named Dave. We haven’t seen him for a few days. About 3 miles away from Santiago, I was having a discussion with GC1 about our wonderful journey. He commented that it would be nice to walk into Santiago with Carlos, or Nick, or one of the other folks that we’ve messed around with on the trail. We were inside the city boundary, and a few minutes later we hit a red traffic light at an intersection. A small group of Pilgrims was waiting near the crosswalk to cross. There was Dave! What are the odds? Was this a coincidence, or was it the work of Saint James? You decide. I hope Dave wasn’t hoping for a reflective walk into Santiago. He had his ear chewed off by GC1 for three miles! In California, Dave teaches fourth grade and fifth grade. GC1 and Dave did a detailed comparative analysis of the school systems in California, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. I tagged along behind and listened.

3. When a Pilgrim finishes his or her Camino, provided that their Pilgrim Passport proves that they’ve covered at least 62 miles (100km), they are entitled to an official completion certificate. To get that certificate, the Pilgrim must go to a Camino office that resembles a DMV. There is a paperwork process. I’ve done it twice before. It can take hours. Today, we walked in the door at 12:10 p.m. and we were out by 12:25 p.m. I credit Saint James.

4. The nice woman who processed our paperwork was an American who moved to Santiago about 18 months ago. She was from Oregon. That’s where GC1 was born. Coincidence, or the work of Saint James?

5. In addition to being the terminal point for El Camino, Santiago is a vacation destination for people from all over Europe. There is a large historic section, which is filled with all sorts of shops and hundreds of restaurants. We’re at the height of the tourist season, and we’re at the height of the Pilgrim season. We went out for a walk this afternoon, and there were thousands of people roaming the narrow streets. It’s common for Pilgrims to stay for a few days after their arrival. We had dinner at a small outdoor cafe and started to walk back to our hotel. We took a few steps from our outdoor table and we literally bumped into our old friend Carlos. He was taking a picture of the top of a building, and he wasn’t watching what he was doing. He actually bumped into us. Do you remember him? He’s the guy from California who had terrible blisters. He was in awful pain. One day, I drained three of the blisters when we were out on the trail. We hadn’t seen Carlos in more than a week. Just yesterday, GC1 was wondering if Carlos was going to make it to Santiago. We had a nice little reunion. Carlos and GC1 share the view that the folks who start in Sarria are not true Pilgrims. It was good to see Carlos. There are thousands of people here. Do you really think it was a coincidence that we bumped into Carlos?

I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to mess with Saint James. Tonight, to show appropriate respect and appreciation, I walked over to his Cathedral. I took the underground tunnel and viewed his burial vault. Then, in accordance with longstanding Pilgrim tradition, I climbed a set of stairs to touch the big statue of Saint James that hovers over the main altar. At both locations, I prayed for all of you guys. Whether you like it or not, Saint James is watching over you too.

It’s been a long day. We only walked 12.6 miles, but the day was full of other activities too. We’re here for a few days. I’m certain that I’ll visit with Saint James again. I’ll put in another good word for all of you. Thanks for coming to Santiago with us.

Notes from ADD land:

I have four urgent outputs due today. Had weeks to work on them. Of course I started them all as soon as they were assigned, forgot about them, then started working on them again this Monday. Finished two by last night. Vowed to finish the last two today.

Woke up at noon. Why? Yesterday I had like 5 cups of coffee to help me cram, and so I stayed up until 5am in a state of caffeine-induced awakeness, endlessly scrolling through Tumblr and Reddit. I even looked at Yahoo "News."

So that's half the day gone.

Cooked myself an elaborate lunch for no good reason. The bolognese took two hours to make. It was good though.

Sat down in front of my laptop at around 3pm, all the necessary files open, my Spotify set to my "classical music" playlist. Couldn't focus.

Went back on social media. Couldn't focus on that either. Distracted by stressing about the fact that I was not getting any work done.

Finally convinced myself to begin working at 5pm. "Shit it's 5pm, the workday is almost over, I have to DO SOMETHING."

Stopped at 6.30pm to feed my dogs and play with them.

Tried to work again. Did not succeed.

It is now 9pm. I am lying calmly in bed typing here on Tumblr, horribly aware that I am only 25% done w/ the remaining two outputs.

I have no idea how long I'll keep lying here, the minutes ticking by, getting more and more anxious about my absolute non-productivity even as I continue to procrastinate.
