What is the Loroi word for "tap (e.g. a barrel of beer; a maple tree)" and the Umiak word for "un-tap (same)"? Because in line with the old tilted-T tap symbol, I'd like to do a "tilted Trade T" tap symbol and a "tilted Umiak 'untap'" untap symbol for an Outsider-themed MTG set :3

The literal meaning of "tap" would be an odd translation for the MTG action of "tap". You might consider pinno "consume, deplete," and pozoli "refill, restore."

I don't have an Umiak lexicon, sorry.

Hmm... they can't both be tilted Ps, that'd be too confusing. I might do tilted-L (lashri "deactivate") for "tap" and tilted-P (piio "charge") for "untap".

Trade doesn't have a word for mana, so you could either just use the word "mana," or perhaps manzatrin which means "sorcery."

Image (subject) any two mana using or Image using can be paid. this card changed mana cost (subject) 10 seems to be.

Mana is fine. I'll use manzatrin for the sorcery card type.

In that vein:
Artifact
Creature
Enchantment
Instant
Land

Basic
Legendary
Snow(y)
Tribal
World

Artifact - biseromat
Creature - perrair (monster)
Enchantment - teshrebor (charm)
Instant - berinzon (moment)
Land - tirot (ground, dirt)

Basic - niistil (ordinary)
Legendary - torras (famous)
Snow(y) - sisto
Tribal - bellit
World - tobi

Several of these were already in the lexicon.

Would a loroi Magic player be offended by the use of the imperative on abilities such as "Populate." or "Planeswalk."?

More to the point, is it grammatically correct?

I found a better way to force RTL than typing everything backwards...

It's a Unicode control character called RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE. On Windows, you can get to it with Alt+8238 (or 202E, Alt-X in Word). When you need to switch from Trade to English, there's POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING (Alt+8236 or 202C, Alt-X).

:lol:

More seriously: To calque the Latin term directly, republic (res publica, lit. “public thing”) could be lerrimilol or similar. Similarly, “democracy” could be pelobesed (“common-rule”, cf. Gk. dēmokratía), and “federal” could be “bonzarba” (to agree, cf. Lat. foedus “covenant”) or derived therefrom.

I'm aware. I'm in Canada at the moment; there's nothing I can do about it right now.
