hey new followers from twitter exodus number 73,493! please stay this time.

i figure people expect me to constantly update on #destiny2 language stuff. but i usually post nonsense shower thoughts, mainly about my pets.

but boy when i have an update on #dread, #aionian, or #eliksni, boy do i post.

there’s #conlang audio from an #Aionian, Dr. Carnahan, in #Destiny2 #EdgeofFate that’s out of order.

i’ve corrected it. note the difference with the notable “Anomaly-Blessed”.

i transcribed this as *ămăle-dīvīna; a Greek-Latin vocative akin to “O Unequal-Divined”.

*ă(no)măle contracts “ᾰ̓|νώ|μᾰλε”

Insert something clever about trying to balance a family and the power grind in Edge of Fate...

Sarsion: 01:12 26th July 2025. i was in the middle of writing a bunch of stuff and i ended up going down a different path. so remember ages ago i said that PROTECTED was F, and then i changed my mind a thousand times? well having revisited the cards, and thinking now about the greek alphabet Φ and ɸ is the Greek letter Phi. It is pronounced as /f/, and is, in fact, an F. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi Wikipedia: Phi ( FY, FEE; uppercase Φ, lowercase φ or ϕ; Ancient Greek: ϕεῖ pheî [pʰéî̯]; Modern Greek: φι fi [fi]) is the twenty-first letter of the Greek alphabet. In Archaic and Classical Greek (c. 9th to 4th century BC), it represented an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive ([pʰ]), which was the origin of its usual romanization as... Sarsion: they've combined everything on this page with the definitions laid out in my dictionary. PROTECTED is Phi, which is F.

Sarsion: It's related to everything from predicates, to probability, to substitution in first-order logic, to angles, to golden ratio, to entropy, to free energy destabilisations, to friction, to homomorphisms (things which appear the same), to the *work function of a surface in solid-state physics ("the minimum thermodynamic work needed to remove an electron from a solid to a point in the vacuum immediately outside the solid surface"). add on top of that all of the references to free, and the letter F throughout like forceful, aFraid, friend, fruit. the thing that's wild is that i've been considering V and F the same letter, which is true over time as languages evolve and coalesce. think of "steven" and "stephen". the thing that makes this super exciting for me right now is i've been explaining V separately as being a predicate logic operator. and now i've found the key to bridge F and V together: Phi. i've changed my mind so many times on this but circling back around to this with evidence that's hinted at in the text is supremely satisfying.

PROTECTED (from Singular Exegete, hosted on Ishtar Collective): [Report by VanNet encrypted router.] Reference obvious. The enemy insinuates that we are hobbled by the Traveler's protection; denied our full potential. This is expected. Our foe comprehends only violence and its beauty. [Personal notes, scratched in Hive leather with a flake of Ionian stone.] The tired insinuation that protection is weakness. I expected more from our great foe. When we hunted the first trespasser on the Moon, I discovered the journal of a Golden Age commander. Kuang Xuan had faith and training. Still, the Darkness seduced her. And THIS is the insidious power that turned her against her god? I am learning to cook. I salvaged a hot plate back on the Moon. It was vacuum welded to the countertop, and I had to cut it free. (My hands ache, but they are steadier.) Cousin Asher, you would find the concept of vacuum welding upsetting—press two sheets of metal together in void, and their atoms cannot tell which sheet they belong to. They cross freely. The two become one. I sleep beside an intruding Pyramid. I am deep in its shadow. Back in the Tower, beneath the Traveler, could they understand how I am vacuum welded to the enemy? Ikora would understand. She studied the Taken with me, despite the risks. And Zavala values foresight. But he also fears the next Lysander, the next Toland. The next Rezyl Azzir. He fears what I could teach his Guardians. He is weary of being the one to say "No," when all his Guardians shout "Yes, yes!" But it is his duty, and he loves when duty hurts.

[Forceful, angled cuts—] I am afraid I am afraid that if I go on I will lose everything I have regained all my peace all my trusts all my hopes and I will even destroy my dear friend who fights where I cannot [A blank space.] I need to make a wok. I am going to take an angle grinder to the rotor disc from an old rover. I must find cooking oil to season it. I will search through cousin's old caches tomorrow. Tonight, I cook fried rice. Rice and raisins will come from my stores. The recipe calls for "pineapple." Is this a joke? A pine-flavored apple? I will substitute breadfruit, if I can find it.

2 months ago i asserted that singular exegete used my #fallen dictionary to form a basis for destiny's #conlang in written lore, at least for #eliksni, since forsaken.

back then i figured that PROTECTED was "F", but wasn't completely sure.

well, with #Aionian, i read about the Greek Phi (Φ, ɸ): F.

Ionians - Wikipedia

i have a feeling the specific branch of Ancient Greek that #Aionian is based on surely must be literally Ionian Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionians

Page 101 of 182 of 1855’s “O novo guia da conversação, em portuguez e inglez” by Fonseca, featuring numerous poorly translated Portuguese phrases translated from Portuguese to French and then to English. Particularly fun is “Parêce-me bêm comprido” translated as “It seems me very long,” when it should be (according to Google Translate) “It seems quite long to me.”

i’ve just discovered the infamous book that inspired the monty python sketch “dirty hungarian phrasebook”.

i expect this is what i might sound like trying to translate the #conlang of both #eliksni and #aionian. apologies to any citizens of kepler that follow me!

Today marks the start of my #Aionian translation efforts!
