Penn & Sara Cooke, Day 86, Part 3

Aurora: ... and I met a boy called Jett and he said no one called him anything for short because Jett's already short enough!

Sara: Ryan, what do you want to do today?

Orion: Ona be sma.

Sara: Huh?

Aurora: He said-

Orion: Not talka me, Wory! N'like id!

Aurora: I'm just trying to help-

Orion: Not wan you a hel!

Sara: Sorry, Ryan can you say that again? Slowly, and focus on getting that last sound on your words.

Orion: I. Wanna. Smard. ... Cuz I dumb.

Sara: You're not dumb, sweetheart. You just find talking a little tricky-

Orion: An' weadin', an' wighin', an umbus, an'... an'... an' all da fing!

Sara: Well, I know they've opened up a new Education Centre in Widespot. Why don't we check it out - it sounds to me like a place where you could do some learning in a fun way.

Orion: Yeah. Go dere!

Aurora: Can I come?

Orion: No, Wory! Me not wan you!

Penn: You and me already had a trip out, didn't we, Rory? Why don't we let this be Ryan's thing with Granny?

Aurora: Yeah, okay.

Orion: Who you?

Tommy: My name's Mr Ottomas.

Orion: You boss?

Tommy: Yeah, I'm the boss.

Orion: You hel me a be smard?

Tommy: Hi Charlie - do you want to listen to the story too?

Orion: Issa goodun!

Possibly having the TV as backround noise isn't all that helpful...

Hey, this game has the words on the screen and it reads them to him!

Back home, they all had breakfast together and then Sara took Orion to the Education Centre in Widespot.

The Pantheon universe, a summary

What is the Pantheon universe?

Pantheon is a series of mythological stories that take place from approximately 3000 BCE to 1200 BCE in the area known in modern times as SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa).

The stories assume the existence of each ancient culture’s deities while taking into account the historical conflicts between those cultures, resulting in a kind of “historical mythology” where historical conflict reflects upon the divine realm (E.G.: the Egyptian pantheon fighting the Hittite pantheon and allies in the Battle of Kadesh story).

[yamayuandadu]

Is there any information about Mukishanu outside of his roles in the Song of Hedammu and Song of Ulikummi? I'm assuming there's little to nothing, but but I'm curious either way.

There indeed isn’t much otherwise. As far as I am aware, the brief survey given by Gernot Wilhelm in the Reallexikon is still up to date.

All of the available attestations of Mukishanu come from Hattusa - from Hurrian or at least Hurrian-adjacent sources. The bulk of them are passages from Song of Hedammu and Song of Ullikummi, plus some which according to Wilhelm cannot be placed in either with certainty but belong to the same cycle at the very least. As far as I know, none of these ever go beyond the usual formula “Kumarbi repeats a message he wants to send, Mukishanu leaves to deliver it”.

On top of the literary sources there is a single ritual text which mentions Mukishanu, a list of offerings connected with the cult of Shaushka of Samuha (CTH 712). It’s a peculiar oddity in that every single deity listed in the relevant passage is a sukkal, and explicitly identified as such. I’m not aware of any parallels to this from any part of the “cuneiform world”. The ritual is not very informative, though, it just repeats the formula “a flatbread for x sukkal of y”. No reason is given for gathering attendant deities like that. Perhaps they’re unionizing or something.

More under the cut, including some speculation.

Wilhelm doesn’t discuss CTH 712 beyond Mukishanu’s appearance in it, but it’s not hard to find a full list of the deities invoked, for example here, p. 370: Undurumma (Shaushka’s), Tenu (Teshub’s), Mukishanu (Kumarbi’s), Izzumi (ie. Mesopotamian Isimu/Usmu; Ea’s); Lipparuma (Shimige’s) and Ḫupuštukar (Ḫešui’s). Most of them are relatively well attested, but there are two peculiarities: Undurumma is pretty much unattested otherwise (in the overwhelming majority of ritual and literary texts and in visual arts Shaushka almost invariably appears with Ninatta and Kulitta, so you’d expect them to have this role, but nope) and Ḫešui is himself quite rare so learning he was major enough to have an attendant is quite surprising (granted, there is a theory he was worshiped more commonly earlier on or in different Hurrian communities as these which influenced the Hattusa archive). It also strikes me as odd that Hebat and Takitu are missing. 

The only other information about Mukishanu comes from the etymology of his name. While he is attested exclusively in Hurrian and Hurro-Hittite sources, his name actually comes from a Semitic language (I am not aware of any more precise attempts at identification) and means something like “he from Mukish”. This term referred to the area around Alalakh. As discussed here (p.3 ) by Alfonso Archi, it essentially underwent cultural “Hurrianization”: by the fourteenth century, about three fourths of its inhabitants mentioned in textual sources bore Hurrian names, and the ritual text CTH 780 mentions an apparently famous Hurrian expert from Mukish, a certain ms. Allaituraḫḫi. The calendar was seemingly Hurrian too, though with one month name - Pagri - goes back to an Akkadian term (pagrum, a ceremony for the dead). 

We don’t have much in the way of religious texts from Alalakh. The local pantheon attested in royal documentation was discussed briefly in Volkert Haas’ Geschichte der hethitischen Religion (p. 556-557). There is evidence for Teshub, Ishara/Shaushka/Ishtar (the writing is logographic and notoriously hard to untangle in this case; I think the evidence for Ishara is the strongest), Hebat, Kubaba, Umbu (a moon god or at least a name of the Hurrian moon god) and earth and heaven. There is also at least one reference to the worship of Kumarbi as well, and to a temple of a deity named Kūbi, see here, p. 207. Mukishanu is notably absent, though, and I haven’t really seen any proposals regarding this state of affairs. I personally see two possible solutions: Mukishanu was an epithet or generic designation which developed into a separate deity; or alternatively he represented the image of inhabitants of Alalalkh in the eyes of another group (much like how Amurru was not actually an Amorite god despite his name). However, this is just my own speculation. It’s also worth noting that Gary Beckman at least seems to imply he assumes Mukishanu was actually worshiped in Alalakh or somewhere nearby, since he counts his presence in the Kumarbi cycle as an argument for seeking its origin across Upper Mesopotamia and northern Syria rather than in Anatolia here (p. 25).

I feel like I'm seeing a lot of very US and Europe-centric hyperspecific polls at the moment (recent highlights include "never been to Disney" and "never been on holiday outside of Europe" as possible answers), and to a certain extent that's fair enough, that's where a lot of tumblr users live.

But I would really like to encourage people who live everywhere else in the world to channel the same energy in their hyperspecific polls. Maybe "I've been teaching the veena for 5+ years" or "I have an umbu tree in my back garden" or "I have touched 2 or more species of marsupial".

I just think it would be fun.

[meurelicario16]

Do que eu me lembro daquela época daria para criar um relicário, minha mente é como um gravador capaz de me trazer as sensações que vivi no auge dos meus 19 anos, dentre a intensidades da minha transição para vida adulta estava uma instituição de ensino que me trouxe vivências únicas, nunca um lugar que oferecia aulas e educação me fez vivenciar tamanhos sentimentos. Esses dias revi uma moça que conhecia de vista da escola hoje em dia ela trabalha numa loja famosa aqui da cidade e esta tão linda, me deu vontade de ficar olhando fixadamente para ela admirando seus traços seus cabelos crespos estão enormes e lindos, e eu ainda me lembro dela sentada a uma poltrona a frente da minha com kaue, o sol reluzindo seu black enquanto eu observava os amigos rindo de algo, no meu fone sempre tocava as mesmas músicas "N' de nando reis pois no meu segundo dia de aula Ravena me apresentou e eu fiquei encantada, e "preta" anavitoria. Como pode uma pessoa que nem laço eu tive me trazer tantas memórias? E eu ainda me lembro da risada dela uma vez que dei um beijo de amigo em kaue e ficou a marca em seu rosto, ela simplesmente riu muito dele por isso, e eu percebi mas não fiquei constrangida pois sabia que não foi nessa intenção, hoje em dia kaue não fala mais comigo, perdemos contato e ele nem deve mais se lembrar de mim.

Mas só seu nome me remete aquele lugar, pois me lembro da sala, seu tamanho, suas cadeiras, me lembro de lavinia me contando dos seus livros, me lembro de uma aula em que eu tava sentada ao lado de ravena e fazia carinho no seu braço, me lembro dela sentada no sol dizendo que estava fazendo fotossíntese e os raios deixando seu cabelo mais laranja, lembro de quando julguei ela por uma situação que vi de longe da qual nem me recordo e como ela ficou brava comigo e mesmo assim foi obrigada a apresentar um trabalho sem nem ao menos nos falarmos, lembro de quando pintamos nosso cabelo de verde ao mesmo tempo sem combinar e que foi ali que fizemos as pazes.

Me lembro do fim de tarde jogando uno com umas meninas na sala, e do festival de arte onde levei Isabela comigo, aquele dia rimos muito, vimos o por do sol abraçadas nos corredores do if, até hoje tenho os registros.

Lembro da biblioteca e do dia que me trancaram la por engano, de quando esqueci minha mochila na sala de informática enquanto eu matava aula pra ficar no corredor, lembro que gabaritei uma prova do professor ubiratã, das aulas de campo, e do pé de umbu, de um cacto plantado numa xícara.

Lembro do dia que ravena apareceu com um buquê para a bibliotecaria e me deu uma rosa, lembrar disso aqueçe meu coração, como no dia que dividi um brigadeiro com morango com as meninas na construção ao fundo da escola, do dia que tive uma crise de ansiedade e não consegui entrar no ônibus pra ir embora.

Lembro da viagem, e a sensação de ver o mar, os tubarões as tartarugas e alisar a arraia. Lembro de todas as emoções minhas e das pessoas ao meu redor, ravena chorando no banheiro convulsivamente e como não estavamos nos falando tive q ir atras de pedro e pedir para ele conversar com ela, e do alívio que me deu quando vi os dois conversando na escada antes de eu ir embora, lembro que quase chorei com a homenagem ao menino que faleceu e foi a primeira vez que vi minha animação favorita "viva a vida é uma festa"

Posso dizer que minhas vivências naquela escola marcou meus 19 anos de uma forma inesquecível, eu amo todas as memórias e me sinto tão bem por ter tido algo tão especial que foi muito difícil se despedir. Jamais esquecerei.

FFXIVWrite 2023 Prompt 26: Last

Cynthia's mother taught her a few songs that were so old, nobody remembered what the words meant anymore.

But she didn't realize just how old the songs were.

(The second part of this takes place during my post-ShB EmetWoL AU)

“Mama, mama! Play the pretty song again!”

Her mother giggles, reaching out a hand to mess up the young Viera’s hair. “Which one, kitten? You call all of the songs I play pretty.”

“The last one, with the funny words! I wanna learn it!”

“You remember it’s a duet, right?”

“Then teach me all the lyrics!”

Laughing again, the older Viera puts both hands back on the lute. “Very well. I’ll teach you the main part first. But this is the last song I’m playing before you go to sleep.”

Kuwata tsuno wovalai

Tsurizhi pura alekai

Kondəvain umbu fərtun blonnuwail

-years later, on the First-

Emet-Selch is in utter shock. Of course, his eyes don’t turn away from where Cynthia’s hands delicately pluck the strings of the lyre he created, but he can barely believe his ears.

She’s singing in Amaurotine.

Singing a song he hasn’t heard in over twelve thousand years.

Barely able to wait until the last note fades out, he quietly asks, “Didn’t you say this was a song from your home?”

She nods, still plucking the strings absent-mindedly. “Yeah, my mom taught it to me when I was really little. She didn’t know what the lyrics meant, though. So I don’t either.”

“...I know that song.”

At this, she puts down her instrument and looks up at him, tilting her head. “But you told me you’d never actually interacted with Viera before.”

“I haven’t. Cynthia, that song is from before the world was sundered.”

“...Oh.” Awkwardly laughing, she adds “I guess that’s why nobody remembered what the lyrics meant. I was told it was one of our older songs, but… I didn’t think it was that old. I… think one of the others I was taught was in the same language, if you’d like to hear it?”

He nods, and she picks her instrument back up.

Sjool paran moy'hi

Ar jar'ruk noy' sin

---

Both songs are from NieR, the first being Song of the Ancients, and the second being Kaine / Salvation.

I know that logically the language they spoke before the world was sundered was Latin, but like... the song is called Song of the Ancients. I had to. Also I cannot help putting references to NieR into everything I do

3. 18. TABIA YA 18: "USALITI"

(a). Usaliti ni hali ya kwenda kinyume na makubaliano mliojiwekea. Mnapoweka mikakati au makubaliano ya pamoja na wewe ukaonyesha kukubaliana nayo, lakini moyoni unapingana nayo au ukaenda kuyapinga pembeni huo ni usaliti.

Mfano. Mtoto wa Daudi (Absalomu) anamsaliti Baba yake (Daudi) ili achukue Ufalme wake.

....2 Samweli 15:1-....

(b). Usaliti ni tendo la kutoa siri upande mwingine usiotakiwa kujua siri hiyo. Siri ya mtu /viongozi /huduma, nk, kuitoa au kuisema ni usaliti.

(c). Usaliti ni kumwacha au kumweka mtu mikononi mwa adui kwa hila au kwa ukosefu wa uaminifu.

Mfano 1. Delila kumsaliti Samson kwa ulaghai wa mapenzi na kumweka mikononi mwa Adui.

....Waamuzi 16:4-21....

Mfano 2. Yuda kumsaliti YESU ili akamatwe kwa alama ya busu.

....Mathayo 26:47-50....

3. 18. 1. DALILI /VIASHIRIA /MATOKEO YA TABIA YA USALITI.

1. TAMAA

Mtu mwenye pupa, uchu na tamaa ni rahisi kukosa uaminifu yaani kuwa msaliti. Kwa sababu tamaa ya mali, madaraka, Vyeo, Ngono na kadhalika vimewafanya watu kuwa wasaliti kwenye maisha yao.

.....Kisha Yuda, yule mwenye KUMSALITI, alipoona ya kuwa amekwisha kuhukumiwa, ALIJUTA, akawarudishia wakuu wa makuhani na wazee vile vipande thelathini vya FEDHA, akasema, NALIKOSA NILIPOISALITI damu isiyo na hatia. Wakasema, Basi, haya yatupasani sisi? Yaangalie haya wewe mwenyewe. Akavitupa vile vipande vya FEDHA katika hekalu, akaondoka; akaenda, AKAJINYONGA.

....Mathayo 27:3-5....

2. USHAWISHI.

Watu wengi wamekuwa wasaliti kwa sababu ya ushawishi wa watu, mazingira, vyama, dini, utaifa au ukabila. Watu. (Mfano: Amnoni alivyoshawishiwa na rafiki yake Yonadabu, alale na ndugu yake Tamari).

....Naye akamwambia, Kwa nini, Ee mwana wa mfalme, unakonda hivi siku kwa siku? Hutaki kuniambia? Amnoni akamwambia, Nampenda Tamari, umbu la ndugu yangu, Absalomu. Yonadabu akamwambia, Lala kitandani mwako ujifanye mgonjwa na babako atakapokuja kukutazama, umwambie, Mwache ndugu yangu, Tamari, aje, nakusihi, anipe mkate nile, akaandae chakula machoni pangu nikione, nikakile mkononi mwake......Walakini Amnoni hakukubali kusikiliza sauti ya Tamari; naye akiwa na nguvu kuliko yeye, akamtenza nguvu, akalala naye.

....2 Samweli 13:4-14....

3. VISASI.

Kawaida mtu mwenye kisasi ndani yake atajifanya rafiki ili akufahamu vizuri ili akusaliti......Umeona mfano uliopita juu, baada ya Ubakaji aliofanyiwa Tamari, miaka miwili ilipita lakini ndugu yake Tamari amehifadhi kulipa kisasi na akakitimiza.

.....Ila Absalomu hakusema na Amnoni wala kwa HERI wala kwa SHARI; kwa maana Absalomu ALIMCHUKIA Amnoni kwa KUMTENZA nguvu umbu lake Tamari. Ikawa BAADA YA MIAKA MIWILI MIZIMA, Absalomu alikuwa na wenye kukata manyoya ya kondoo huko Baal-hasori uliopo upande wa Efraimu; naye Absalomu AKAWAALIKA wana wote wa mfalme. Kisha Absalomu akawaamuru watumishi wake, akasema, "Angalieni basi, moyo wake Amnoni UTAKAPOFURAHIWA kwa MVINYO; nami nitakapowaambia, Mpigeni Amnoni, ndipo MWUENI, msiogope; si mimi niliyewaamuru? Iweni hodari, iweni na ujasiri.

.....2 Samweli 13:22-28 .....

4. UVUNJIFU WA AMANI NA MAUAJI.

Haya ni matokeo ya usaliti, Watu hawezi kupata amani tena ya kumwamini msaliti hats kama amebadilika lakini kuaminiwa tena ni vigumu. Sambamba na hilo waliosalitiwa ujenga kisasi dhidi ya msaliti, hatimaye uvunjifu wa amani hutoweka na kuleta vita na mauaji.

Je wewe ni msaliti?. Je kwanini wewe ni msaliti?. Unajua unachokitengeneza?

.....Mkimbilie BWANA YESU akuokoe, Leo unayo nafasi ya kuacha usaliti na kumpokea BWANA YESU awe BWANA na Mwokozi wako. Petro alimsaliti YESU pia, lakini HAKUJINYONGA bali aligundua kosa lake na akatubu na akaokolewa na kukabidhiwa kanisa.

Je upo tayari kuacha usaliti na kumpokea BWANA YESU KRISTO awe BWANA na Mwokozi wako? (Toa jibu).

3. 19. TABIA YA 19: "WIVU"

[knifegiver]

Imagine that our world has had a divergence once upon a time, and what once was one realm has been split into two: the Realm of Magic; and then ours, the Realm of Science.

Both realms are still connected, though very scarcely. One day a group of mages travels through the Fabric of the Void to our realm, having bested many hardships to be here. And they're here for one purpose:

"For fuck's sake, you have to stop sciencing!"

It turns out that the more one realm practises their craft, the further away the two realms drift from each other. Which takes the remnants of the other craft still lingering with it.

We don't notice it too much because we are used to ignoring the bit of magic we see to such a degree that most people don't even realise that magic is real.

But for the mages it's whole different problem! Don't get them wrong, it's amazing that we can build a fire with such some stick coated in stuff that we strike against something else coated in some other stuff. It's fascinating and very cool that we don't have to rely on a coin that is umbued with a fire spell that one has to be careful about not spending on accident because it looks just like any other coin.

But! What do you mean, we have left our planet? What do you mean that we have walked on our moon?? What do you mean we are planning to SETTLE on Mars???

Yeah no, we cannot do that. The mages are adamant about that. When questioned about why, they explain that people and things no longer being quite as attached to the ground as they used to be is very helpful when you want to move heavy stuff, but...
