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.

i've started to think a lot about how one might manage being non-binary / trans in a post-soviet country. atp, as a russian, i think i was immensely lucky to have been able to use they/them pronouns for a while, in a confused-but-still-got-the-spirit social circle anyway--they didnt know a thing about being non-binary but supported me nonetheless. i myself have met nb and queer individuals too, even without socialising much. but now im wondering how do people go about the actual process of transitioning on hormones here. well, how they did, anyway.

my intrusive 911LS thought of the evening: what exactly made Paul decide to even come down to Austin to interview for the job with the 126? when you see him during his interview he’s pretty closed off, not really interested at all (posture leaned back, arms crossed, face pretty unimpressed in general):

and when he turns the job down initially, he’s so matter-of-fact about not taking it:

but he still came all the way to texas from chicago for this interview. and sure, maybe it’s similar to marjan who just wanted to visit SXSW (iconic of her honestly) and he was just getting a vacation out of it. but personally, I like to think that the ~super spidey instincts~ he has told him that something about this interview could change his life.

maybe it could give him a fresh start somewhere new, give him a new found family of his choosing:

a place of belonging with a group of people who love him for who he is and support him like he deserves:

… (and double the salary, get that cash paul, you stud!)

I was walking on a rather remote beach when I came upon this Whip eel drying up in the sun. These are intertidal eels that can actually handle themselves out of water for a bit, but it’s not normal for them to be fully exposed in direct sunlight like this. The tide was at least six hours from coming in and I felt like this eel was in distress, so I made the decision to dig him out and return to the ocean. His body was too delicate to be simply pulled from the hole without injury, so I got to digging.

This endeavor took about 40 minutes as the eel was quite long and difficult to excavate. Also had to continually refill my temporary eel pond to keep him from drying out entirely while I worked.

If you are an eel aficionado like myself, please enjoy this silly little video of the relocation process set to some jaunty royalty-free disco music.

Why Should You Move to Australia from India?

Relocating to another country is a significant decision, especially when considering a move from India to Australia. Known for its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and robust economy, Australia has become a popular destination for many Indian migrants. Below are some compelling reasons to consider moving to Australia, particularly through the Australia PR visa from India.

1. Strong Economy and Job Opportunities

Australia's economy is one of the strongest in the world, consistently demonstrating resilience and growth. With a low unemployment rate and a demand for skilled professionals, job opportunities abound across various sectors. Industries such as healthcare, information technology, engineering, and education are particularly in demand. The Australia PR visa from India allows skilled workers to tap into this thriving job market, providing pathways to secure stable employment and build a prosperous career.

2. High Quality of Life

Australia is renowned for its exceptional quality of life. It consistently ranks highly in global indices due to its clean environment, modern infrastructure, and efficient public services. Major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane offer a blend of urban amenities and natural beauty, including parks, beaches, and recreational areas. This balance makes it an ideal place for families and individuals seeking a fulfilling lifestyle.

3. World-Class Education System

Australia is home to some of the world’s leading universities and educational institutions. The education system is highly regarded for its innovative teaching methods and diverse course offerings. International students, including those on the Australia PR visa from India, can access high-quality education that prepares them for global careers. Moreover, children of permanent residents benefit from access to excellent public schooling, ensuring a strong educational foundation.

4. Multicultural Society

Australia prides itself on its multicultural society, where people from diverse backgrounds coexist harmoniously. This welcoming atmosphere makes it easier for newcomers to integrate into the community. The presence of a substantial Indian community in Australia provides a support network for migrants, helping them celebrate cultural festivals and maintain connections to their heritage.

5. Access to Quality Healthcare

Australia offers a robust healthcare system known as Medicare, which provides residents access to essential medical services at little or no cost. This universal healthcare system ensures that individuals receive timely and quality medical attention without financial strain. The focus on preventive care contributes to the overall well-being of residents, making Australia a desirable location for families and individuals alike.

6. Safety and Security

Australia is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in the world, with low crime rates and a strong emphasis on public safety. The Australian government prioritizes community safety, creating a secure environment for families to thrive. For many individuals moving from India, where safety concerns can be prevalent, this aspect of Australian life can offer peace of mind.

7. Natural Beauty and Outdoor Lifestyle

Australia is celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, including stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and iconic landmarks such as the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru. The country’s diverse geography allows residents to engage in various outdoor activities, from hiking to surfing. With a favorable climate, Australians often embrace an active lifestyle, promoting health and well-being.

8. Pathway to Permanent Residency and Citizenship

One of the most appealing aspects of moving to Australia is the clear pathway to permanent residency (PR) and eventual citizenship. The Australia PR visa from India offers numerous benefits, including the right to live and work in Australia indefinitely, access to social security benefits, and the ability to sponsor family members. After meeting residency requirements, individuals can apply for Australian citizenship, enjoying full rights and privileges.

9. Robust Public Services

The Australian government is committed to providing high-quality public services, including education, healthcare, and transportation. With a strong focus on community welfare and social services, residents can access essential support systems that enhance their overall quality of life.

10. Support for New Migrants

Australia has various programs and resources designed to assist new migrants in their transition. From language classes to job placement services, government and community organizations offer valuable support that helps newcomers settle in. This network is especially beneficial for individuals moving from India who may need guidance in adapting to a new environment and culture.

Conclusion

Moving to Australia from India offers a wealth of opportunities and advantages. With its strong economy, high quality of life, world-class education, and multicultural society, Australia presents an ideal environment for personal and professional growth. The Australia PR visa from India provides a gateway to these benefits, allowing individuals to build a prosperous future in this beautiful country.

Now that I've got your attention (people stop scrolling for a poll), I am making this post on behalf of Nader @abdalsalam1990, as I have a large following which could help it get traction. This campaign has been vetted! (#4 on the list)

Nader is 17 years old and his family is in Gaza facing dire circumstances. Food is scarce, prices are high, and there are shortages in water. They, like countless others suffering during this war, have already had to relocate many times, and their home is destroyed. They do not have enough money to safely relocate right now, or a stable source of income, as places of work have been destroyed.

Any amount of money can help Nader and his family escape this destruction.

This campaign currently has (as of the time I write this post) €11,540 out of €50,000 raised, with 627 donations. I have donated myself and I know a lot of my followers can afford to donate at least something. It's not a hard donation process, so I hope you take a moment of your day to show some support.
