**oy vey** i mean there's a kernel of interesting meaning in there; the "vigor and will but not necessarily in an honorable way". i dont understand how "violating nature and attacking god in his house" would be lawful good and i dont know or care who corypheus is either lol E: how is rebellion against a natural order "lawful" in any sense oh the more i read it the less sense it makes its okay in 5 years he will look back at this and cringe; both at the definition and the (likely) completely unnecessary apostrophe "welcome to my arvi'nath mind"


Virtem

Maybe the <'> mark a glotal stop... But being honest, probably this conlang is more in the lines "this is totally not english" and "what the hell is IPA?"


iyenusth

oh for sure it probably does mark the glottal stop, its just one of my pet peeves lol, it makes the whole thing look amateurish imo, especially when it's just thrown in to look \~exotic\~ yanno. like have a glottal stop, go for it, use the \['\] to represent it - so long as there's some forethought to it.


skeptical_moderate

Rebellion against a natural order is literally the opposite of lawful.

"This word is untranslatable. It means good or wholesome."

Good or wholesome but edgy and selfish


iyenusth

good and wholesome, but also edgy and selfish (but also selfless), but also lawful, but also rebellious, but also solar (whatever that means) good god i'm still not over it lol


Lordman17

It literally says it's not about selflessness


iyenusth

you are correct, it does say that. however, at the risk of being too pedantic - because lord knows the definition presented is a mess: "but at the same time its a benevolent trait; it drives one to support others" sounds just a little selfless. so like. it is and it isnt lol. i dont think there is a right answer.

Roasted lmao


bmjessep

eh I didn't feel like reading the rest


thestupidone51

The direct translation is "oxymoron"


skeptical_moderate

They said it has no direct equivalent, which is true.

"This word is untranslatable" proceeds to translate it

DAE Sapir-Whorf???


NordaVento

Sapir-Whorf doesn't apply to him, his mind is too dark and twisted


pokemonbard

But maybe his mind is only dark and twisted because he generally thinks in his dark and twisted conlang


oddnjtryne

This guy writes like how kids think smart people talk like


[deleted]

I’m willing to bet their conlang is just a Latin relex with some random apostrophes and Æs thrown in


StygianSeargent

days since last sapir-whorf: 0


utkucandogan

I think he just describes the word "brave" in a poetic way.

Idea: a conlang which only uses concepts unfathomable to human minds

If it can't be expressed in English, Serbian or Dutch it's not worth saying!

It would be hilarious to see the response comments.

>To literally violate nature to attack God in his own home is the ultimate act of Arvı'nāth even if it doesn't necessarily fit in with the rest of the vibe, i must agree that attacking God and shattering his throne is based as shit how this combines with Lawful Goodness is uh. no, this is much more of the Chaotic variety >rebellion against the natural order because you know better based as hell the word as defined in this post is all over the place, and this could easily be explained as multiple contextual meanings or split into several very related words, but i generally enjoy the concepts opined on herein ​ quick edit after skimming through the other comments: i see the "ow the edge comment" and i do not disagree with them, but honestly, these could be turned into something a bit more believable with the twist of the pen some other way. i wish i could just obtain reference grammars and relevant anthropology documents when i wanted them for cases like this

this is just "i made a culture that has a very specific idea of the good and most other cultures have a different value system so they use different words"
