Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

[Krulle]

But it may well be that holographic projectors are limited in mixing the colours. We don't know how fine their resolution is, which is what allows mixing of colours.

[Suederwind]

Whast the trade translation for white or snow white?

hi hi

Actually, we know that the resolution on their holograms is at least as good as our computer monitors, because they display smooth gradients blending from one color to another.

The lexicon has an entry for white, liper.

Indeed, I must have overlooked that one. But, there seems to be no word for snow.
Is there no snow on Loroi worlds or are the seasons on these planets not so distinct?

[Arioch]

Snow is sisto.

[Suederwind]

Snow is sisto.

Thank you!

I updated the Lexicon to add about 70 words. It's possible that I may have overwritten some existing words in the process; the previous version of the Lexicon can still be found here.

[Siber]

There's some oddities in the new version that seem like errors to me. In more than one place there's two adjacent words that used to have separate definitions but now share one. For instance, ashrin and azerein used to be warship and emperor, and now they're listed a both meaning warship. The other obvious pairs are bamalo and bamalo, or basen or basena, in which cases the duplicate is a new word but a repeated translation.

Edit: On a second look I guess the new duplicates are noun vs adjective form. I ran a diff tool over the two versions to help highlight new words for anyone looking to use them. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/896 ... hanges.htm

[Arioch]

Thanks, the diff was very helpful. I missed 4 words, but I have properly marked them in the master list so that they won't be missed next time. Unfortunately, the dual-column format of the table in the webpage makes it a real pain to add individual words.

Fair enough then. It just seemed kind of weird that most holograms shown were not displaying things like that. Oh well.

What is written under depictions on pages 49 and 50? Also is there separate images of this pictures, because captions are cropped on comics pages?

The captions read erebas sazaset, and rozain ronnei pelor dezon. moriet tonirrir lishradil dezon.

Thank you.
So, erebas sazaset means tempest fearsome, and second phrase is:

victory from duty only. ascension through community only.

Some of those skulls don't look like the others. What species would that be from?

[Siber]

It's been discussed before, and the conclusion is that they were all human skulls, just some from odd angles.

Or more likely loroi skulls. The really disturbing part is the small skulls, indicating children.

Or Loroi males if their head size is parallel to their body size.

Perhaps but such a large size difference seems disturbing in itself. Cannot someone please hand those poor guys some growth hormones?

Joke aside, if the comic where to depict males looking like children and inform us that they are for sex. The comic may have legal trouble in some areas when it run into some over-zealot bureaucrat.

[dragoongfa]

In that case they should ban dwarf porn first

Seriously though, it most probably depicts the skulls of both children and males since the myth draws heavily from the Loroi Iron age which must have been at least as violent us our Iron age in regards to the complete and utter annihilation of rival tribes.
