Calemerian countries and peoples

All country names are singular nouns; demonyms are plural-only nouns of the 1h declension - the singular for each one is GEN + lila (e.g. chlǣvānumi lila "a Chlouvānem person"). The genitive plural is also used as an adjective.

Note how many country names (and their associated demonyms) for major Evandorian countries (plus Spocius) come from Nähäri, the lingua franca in the large area east of Evandor called Eppillænan (itself a Nähäri borrowing) - which even today is exactly between Evandor and the Inquisition. Only Chlouvānem and Fathanic kept such toponyms for all of these countries - nowadays even languages of the Nähärosphere that had them have shifted to more Evandorian names for all or at least most of them.

The -tave or similar endings in countries of eastern Eppillænan/former Kaiṣamā (all with related languages) are always -tava in Chlouvānem.

Dioceses of the Chlouvānem Inquisition

List of the 158 dioceses (juṃšañāña, pl. juṃšañāñai) of the Chlouvānem Inquisition, ordered by tribunal.

Jade Coast Area

The Jade Coast Area is the heartland of the Chlouvānem nation and one of the most densely populated areas on Calémere. The Jade Coast proper is composed by Mīdhūpraṇa, the short littoral of Marṇadeša, Kāṃradeša, eastern Nanašīrama, Takaiyanta, Latayūlima, and Jhūtañjātia; the other areas inland (sometimes far inland - Yāmbirhālih is more than 1500 km from the coast) are all parts of river basins that enter this coast, most of them through the tidal Lūlunīkam Lake (on whose shores lies Līlasuṃghāṇa, the Inquisition's capital) and its outlet (which constitutes the border between Kāṃradeša on the north and Nanašīrama on the south). This area includes some of the largest cities of the whole planet (Līlasuṃghāṇa, Ilēnimarta, Līlta, Līṭhalyinām, Galiākina) and many other large cities of national importance (Yāmbirhālih, Taitepamba, Mileyīkhā, Erukamarta, Pamahīnēna). The northern part and most of the coastal dioceses are plains with heavy human use (agricultural, urban, and industrial), but the southern part of this area (the whole of Yalyakātāma, Vælvmaichlam, and Kamaidaneh, the southern ⅔ of Talæñoya, central and southern Nanašīrama, the southern ¼ of Ārvaghoṣa, inland Latayūlima, and hilly areas of Takaiyanta and Jhūtañjātia) is part of the great southern rainforest; Talæñoya, Nanašīrama, and Ārvaghoṣa include parts of the "wall of igapós and várzeas", particularly by the Lanamilūki river in Talæñoya and Nanašīrama.

South

The Southern Tribunal is entirely composed of the Inquisition's southern rainforest and neighboring islands (note, though, that Hāyanidēva has a semi-arid climate due to its rainshadow location). For this reason, it is one of the most sparsely populated areas in the whole country: more than half of the population lives in the two metropolitan areas of Lūlunimarta and Tariatindē, and most of the rest in Ājvalēnia's river valleys. The inland part of the rainforest is dotted with many tiny riverside communities, most of them accessible only by boat and air. Miraukātāma is the least populated non-insular diocese of the Inquisition, and one of only three non-insular ones (together with ērešmaita and Karūskātāma) to not have any rail access.

Inland Southwest

The Inland Southwest is composed of the southwesternmost corner of the Great Chlouvānem Plain and the westernmost part of the southern rainforest (an area that, actually, drains northwards into the inland lakes and from there ultimately into the Jade Coast). Its population is centered in the northern part and on the shores of Ñaɂiyanān Lake (the largest non-endorheic lake on Calémere in the tropics).

Coastal Southwest

The Coastal Southwest is the area on the main subcontinental body of the Inquisition that lies between the western shore of the Védrenian Ocean and the Yaldašāri Mountains. Most of the area is therefore semiarid due to the rainshadow, but coastal hills along the shores in the westernmost part and some river deltas still support a moderate population. Nalkahīrṣa, episcopal seat of Mæligdēta, is by far the largest city of the area, with about 1,1 million people.

Basic actions and states

→ See Chlouvānem § Motion verbs for all motion-related verbs and how they are used.

In the following list, principal parts will not be listed for class 1 regular verbs, which do not change their root at all (cf. jānake: jānē, jānek, ajāna).

  • dṛke (class 2, irr - darē, dṛk, dadrā) — to do, make
    • āndṛke (āndarē, āndṛk, āndadrā) — to build, create
  • ghirvake (class 7 - ghervē, ghyarvek, ighirva) - to open a fruit, to tear a fruit open
  • jānake — to feel, perceive something by touch or taste, also used for heat and cold.
  • męlike — to give
    • primęlike — to give back, to return (trans.); interior: to return (intr.), to come back.
  • minde (class 2 - mendē, mindek, iminda) — to hear
    • taminde (tamendē, tamindek, teminda) — to listen
  • mišake (class 2 - mešē, mišek, imiša) — to see
  • ndǣke (class 1 voc - ndevē, ndǣk, indǣ) — to become (needs a translative case argument; when used with a future meaning it is usually simply omitted)
    • jallemṛcce (class 2 irr - jallemarcē, jallepañcek, jallayamṛca) — to become (rarer full synonym with same case use as ndǣke)
  • pomblake (class 9 - pomblē, peimblek, apāmbla) — to gift, give as a gift (neutral in politeness)
  • pugle (class 2 - poglē, puglek, upugla) — to sleep

    • nampugle (nampoglē, nampuglek, nañupugla) — to cause to fall asleep; interior: to fall asleep
    • yāpugle (yāpoglē, yāpuglek, yaupugla) — to oversleep
  • pūnake — to work (intr.)
  • šlæbdake (class 8 - šlæbdē, šlobdek, ešlibda) — to smell (trans.), perceive a scent, odour, perfume; interior: to smell (intr.), emit a scent, odour, perfume.

Family

It is extremely important in historical anthropology to note that most kinship terms in Chlouvānem are not Proto-Lahob in origin, but derived from other languages of the late-First Era Jade Coast. This is taken as certifying the large amount of intercultural mixing among populations in that time and place.

  • leliēmita — family
  • špūktin — relative
  • lili (pronoun) — I; the Ego
  • lañšēmita — marriage
    • lañšijilde (class 2: lañšijeldē - lañšijildek - lañšījilda) — to marry
    • talañšānah — wedding
  • bisflunas — separation
    • bisflulke (irr: bisfliven, bisfloṃsme - bīdāmek - biselīsa) — to separate
    • venāmą lā bisflulke — to divorce (lit. "to separate with the law")
    • venāmą lā bisflunas — divorce
  • vīrādhmilkā — adoption
    • vīrādhmilke (irr: vīrādhmilkē, vīrādhmilūkṣme - vīrādhmilkek - vīrādhilaka) — to adopt

Direct descent relatives (nīgalastarāhai špūktin)

Maternal- or paternal-side grandparents are shown by meinų and bunų respectively ("mother" and "father" in ablative case). The same logic is used for all direct descent relatives.

  • āmpaṣmeinā — great-grandmother
  • āmpābunā — great-grandfather
  • paṣmeinā — grandmother
  • pābunā — grandfather
  • maihadhūt (dual; pl. maihadhaus) — parents
    • meinā — mother
    • bunā — father
  • ñæltilāṇa — siblings
    • a female's siblings:
      • glūkam — brother; also uncontextualized "brother"
      • buneya — older (or twin) sister
      • kalineh — younger sister
    • a male's siblings:
      • ñæltah — sister; also uncontextualized "sister"
      • praškas — older (or twin) brother
      • nālis — younger brother
    • lāgṇyāvīn — twin
    • kordām — any sibling who is still a samin (a child up to his ~5th year of life, considered genderless in Chlouvānem culture)
  • maiha — daughter; also "offspring", and thus used for one's children who are still samin
  • purvās — son
  • yalnāki — granddaughter
  • yalnāras — grandson
  • kelkah — niece
  • rāyas — nephew
  • paṣkelkah — grandniece
  • paṣrāyas — grandnephew

Indirect descent relatives (bīgalastarāhai špūktin)

  • naimā — maternal aunt (mother's sister)
    • naimåkās — mother's sister's spouse
  • suhāli — paternal aunt (father's sister)
    • suhālīšam — father's sister's spouse
  • jolgam — maternal uncle (mother's brother)
    • jolgǣšah — mother's brother's spouse
  • vahūm — paternal uncle (father's brother)
    • vahīlema — father's brother's spouse
  • leilviṣṭyāke — to be one generation away from the nearest common ancestor. Note that for first cousins in the same generation, the same logic used in choosing words for brothers and sisters are used.
    • leilviṣṭimē ñæltah/buneya/kalineh (pl. leilviṣṭimāhai ñæltai/buneyai/kaliniai) — female first cousins
    • leilviṣṭimē glūkam/praškas/nālis (pl. leilviṣṭimāhai glūkās/praške/nālais) — male first cousins
      • Note that there are also the terms formed by prefixing nēma-, suhāl-, jolgi-, and vahū- depending on the aunt or uncle. The forms for the cousins through maternal aunt (nēmañæltah, nēmaglūkam and so on) are commonly used; all other ones are literary and bureaucratic (cf. suhālñæltah "male's female first cousin through paternal aunt", jolgiñæltah "male's female first cousin through maternal uncle", vahūñæltah "male's female first cousin through paternal uncle).
    • leilviṣṭimē naimā/suhāli — female first cousins once removed of a prior generation
    • leilviṣṭimē jolgam/vahūm — male first cousins once removed of a prior generation
      • Here, the distinction between naimā and suhāli (and jolgam and vahūm) simply refers to the family side viewed from the Ego: naimai and jolgās are on the maternal side, while suhāli and vahūm are on the paternal side.
  • daniviṣṭyāke — to be two generations away from the nearest common ancestor
    • daniviṣṭimē ñæltah/buneya/kalineh (pl. daniviṣṭimāhai ñæltai/buneyai/kaliniai) — female second cousins
    • daniviṣṭimē glūkam/praškas/nālis (pl. daniviṣṭimāhai glūkās/praške/nālais) — male second cousins
      • Terms such as leilviṣṭimē nēmañæltah "male's female second cousin through a female first cousin once removed of a prior generation the maternal side of the family" do exist, but are obsolete in contemporary Chlouvānem.
    • daniviṣṭimē naimā/suhāli — female second cousins once removed of a prior generation
    • daniviṣṭimē jolgam/vahūm — male second cousins once removed of a prior generation
  • pāmviviṣṭyāke — to be three generations away from the nearest common ancestor
  • nęlteviṣṭyāke — to be four generations away from the nearest common ancestor
  • šulkeviṣṭyāke — to be five generations away from the nearest common ancestor
  • If any verb such as leilviṣṭyāke etc. is used for a generation following the Ego, then it is translated as English "once removed" (the adjectival verb is the same as the one used for the same-generation cousin).
    • leilviṣṭimē kelkah — female first cousin once removed of a following generation
    • leilviṣṭimē paṣkelkah — female first cousin twice removed of a following generation
    • leilviṣṭimē rāyas — male first cousin once removed of a following generation
    • leilviṣṭimē paṣrāyas — male first cousin twice removed of a following generation
  • paṣṇaimā — maternal great-aunt (grandmother's sister)
    • paṣṇaimåkās — grandmother's sister's spouse
  • pakṣuhāli — paternal great-aunt (grandfather's sister)
    • pakṣuhālīšam — grandfather's sister's spouse
  • pājolgam — maternal great-uncle (grandmother's brother)
    • pājolgǣšah — grandmother's brother's spouse
  • paṣvahūm — paternal great-uncle (grandfather's brother)
    • paṣvahīlema — grandfather's brother's spouse

Other relatives (viṣam špūktin)

  • laftrækna — unmarried partner; girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other
  • laleichim — wife
    • faitlañši — wife (honorific; almost never used for one's own)
  • rūdakis — husband
    • šulañšoe — husband (honorific; almost never used for one's own)
  • bhāmarah — spouse of a female's brother
  • sašvātīh — spouse of a male's brother
  • ryujīnam — spouse of a female's sister
  • kānāsam — spouse of a male's sister
    • Note that these four terms are actually genderless: they do not vary according to the gender of the person, only according to which sibling is married. If a female's brother marries a woman or a man, the spouse will be a bhāmarah in any case. These are used also for one's spouse's brothers or sisters' spouses (A's wife B has a brother, C, whose wife is D — D is A's bhāmarah (while C is A's sūderākam)).
  • arāši — wife's mother
  • arākam — wife's father
  • ehākti — husband's mother
  • ehāktam — husband's father
  • nāreši — son or daughter's spouse's mother
  • nārekam — son or daughter's spouse's father
  • tēlani — son's spouse
  • kuranis — daughter's spouse
  • sūderāši — spouse's sister
  • sūderākam — spouse's brother

  • nalьbunā — stepfather
  • nalьñæltah/nalьbuneya/nalьkalineh — stepsister

  • dilibuṃñæltah/dilibumbuneya/dilibulkalineh — halfsister (from the same father)
  • dilibulglūkam/dilibumpraškas/dilibunnālis — halfbrother (from the same father)
    • These are all sometimes found with the complete form dilire meinų or dilire bunų.

    • glidemǣšñą bunā — single father

Note that the distinction between lьtvogūm and rithoe is more about what is cooked than about the cooking; what is made from a dough is a rithoe; what is simply cooked in an oven is lьtvogūm. Bread is technically rithoe, but not considered as such.

  • chlemyoe — stew
  • ḍhārṣṭya — soup
  • julьta — (something) boiled
  • lьtvogūm — (something) roasted
  • mēlita — curry
  • pǣcicænah — entrée
  • rithoe — (something) baked
  • vværgas — (something) fried
  • yālvendān — dessert

Bread

All words related to breads are used in the singular when referring to the bread type generically; they however have duals and plurals - e.g. bludion "two buns", bludai "buns".

  • nāneh — generically "bread"; flatbread
  • bluda — bun
  • lasya — rye bread
  • næñcah — a smaller and thinner flatbread than general nāneh
  • pålьdai — a type of crunchy puff pastry
  • pultākah — sandwich (generic term). While the term is originally Skyrdagor (from (szlegszyk) pultak meaning simply "(filled) bread"), where the modern concept came from, the usual pultākah is a wrap made with typical Chlouvānem nāneh, with many possible different fillings; they are a popular street and fair food. The most generic pultākah usually offered has local seasonal vegetables and or fruit and a patty made from fried potatoes, fried rice, or Chlouvānem tōfu (lьsāṭa), or, less commonly, a meat-based one: eel, clipfish, and herring are the most common meats used. The usual sauce used in pultākai (known, therefore, as pultākṣirṣṭis) is made from rice milk and mint-flavoured.
    Note that, as common with Chlouvānem street food, sellers of pultākai typically only make one or two different types.
    • blundultākah — a pultākah made with a bun. It is rarer as a street food, as it is more commonly made at home; an exception is the Northwest, where pre-Chlouvānem Western colonialism means that bread buns are as common as, or even more common than, flatbread.

Fruit

Note that Chlouvānem cuisine has less of a distinction between fruit and vegetables than we do; many Chlouvānem dishes include both, as part of a general trend of having opposite tastes in the same dish.

All fruits are quite different from those of Earth - some have no translation as they do not exist here, while for other ones I've chosen to translate them using the words for similar-looking, similar-tasting, or similarly used ones.

  • hælveh — fruit
  • bauba — a bittersweet golden yellow fruit from the Southern rainforest; it has a somewhat hard cream-coloured flesh that becomes whiter and more jelly-like when rotting.
  • bulnā — a green-yellowish, somewhat sticky berry typical of the northern border of the Rainforest (particularly the southern Jade Coast), with an umami and slightly sour taste. It is sometimes added raw to some dishes (particularly fish ones), but its most common use is in producing blīceika (see below).
  • bǣkum — Eastern lemon/black lime
  • chlærvāṇa — Calemerian aloe
  • grāšatis — persimmon
  • haisah — pineapple (Calemerian ones are more similar to large peaches with a rough, tawny skin, but they taste quite like pineapples (and still have yellow flesh)).
  • jahūs — pomelo
  • javileh — apple
  • jolan — melon
  • julkhis — peach
  • jvyara — a beige-cream-coloured berry from the Plains, mildly sweet, used for jams and for jvyarñuɂah (see below).
  • kælitsa — orange banana - sweeter than jaɂukas, which are those used for cooking.
  • kǣɂūh — plum (a.k.a. calis)
    • calyake (inverse ablauting (class 4): calyē, kilyek, ikilya) — to harvest plums
  • laṃšāvi — coconut
  • lgrån — grape (note that Calemerian grapes are not used for winemaking - in the Inquisition, wine is usually made from plums).
  • lūlun — cocoa
  • māra — mango
  • mārāṇāvi — sweet, lime yellow berry of the mārāṇa tree, a commonly found tree in the streets of many tropical and subtropical Chlouvānem cities.
  • meikām — papaya
  • mēnnah — sweet, rose pink-coloured banana whose skin gets reddish when very mature.
  • molvækāvi — Calemerian "cashew apple", with a hazelnut-like flavour.
  • mauši — a slightly pink-coloured citrus fruit with a strong bergamot-like flavour, a common ingredient for drinks and desserts across the eastern Plain and the Jade Coast.
    • mæšvake (class 8: mæšvē, mošvek, emišva) — to harvest maušeyai
  • ñaiñcañēh — Calemerian starfruit (usually orange-red and with a distinct strong apple-like flavour).
  • ñubākas — yellow banana (more bitter than mēnnai or kælitsai; it is also more cold-tolerant and can be grown at higher altitudes and as far north as 35°N).
  • nuhaliā — a cherry-flavoured fruit, also red, but similar to a (smaller) pear.
  • pameh — strawberry (similar to those from Earth, but violet when ripe).
  • ralaka — fruit of a tropical palm, dark red when ripe, very sweet but also a bit sour near the seed. Its seeds are often toasted and eaten as dried fruit or used as fillings for other dishes.
  • ṣārām — a small, both sweet and sour fruit, typical of the tropical Far East; it grows on the trunk of its tree in large quantities and is a common ingredient for jams and also sauces.
  • šikālas — the sweet fruit of a cactus growing in semi-arid and arid areas of the Western Plain and the West. It is also called as "water of the desert".
  • valska — watermelon
  • vārīka — apricot
  • yambras — pear

Vegetables and cereals

Chlouvānem use does not make a big distinction between vegetables and fruit; tomatoes and carrots are considered "fruits" (hælvyai) just as pineapples or strawberries are. Those listed in this separate section are those that are exclusively used as parts of savoury dishes (except legumes, which are however not considered fruits). Cereals (lāsīm) are also included here, which are, unlike vegetables, a distinct category.

Note that when listing ingredients, particularly in the names of dishes, the singular is used and not the plural, e.g. "baked potatoes" are lьtvogē nåmā; "eel kebab with blīceika, okra, and tomatoes" is blīceikęs ḍuyęs no benahīręs no lā saikhat rāltaika.

  • bågras (sg. only) — legumes
  • mæchlišam (sg. only) — leafy greens

  • tīppa — wheat

Meat (incl. fish)

Chlouvānem culinary conventions do not separate meat and fish: mædhram means both meat from land animals (babhrāchokvāman mædhram) and meat from fish (dalьtāmān mædhram) (moreover, in anatomical and generally in non-culinary contexts, the same word also means "body"). Note that the basic word for "fish", dalьtah, is only used for the animals and never in culinary contexts.

  • mædhram — meat, including fish
    • babhrāchokvāman mædhram — meat (not fish)
    • dalьtāmān mædhram — fish (when used as food)
  • hārelšān — sun-dried fish

The word comes from Skyrdagor naszky, meaning "potato"[5], but in Chlouvānem naske does not refer strictly to potato chips: what they're most commonly made of varies throughout the country. While in most northern and western areas they're usually made from potatoes, in many areas of the Plain they're made from carrots or turnips, while plantain chips are almost dominant in the South, in the southern part of the Jade Coast, and in the Southern Far East.

People in most of the Inquisition eat with bare hands or with chopsticks; forks and knives are typically used as cutlery only in the Northwest and parts of the North.

  • tūnisus[6] — pop-rock music, ultimately derived from Western Calémerian "rock" (taónensi internationally, from the Cerian word for "shaker") in its Skyrdegan interpretation; its most popular form is based on idol groups, as in the Skyrdegan countries, but Chlouvānem "idols" (ṣrasekai) typically play instruments instead of just singing, unlike Skyrdegan ones. It is not very popular overall, but it has a lot of success in the North of the Inquisition (the areas closest to Greater Skyrdagor) and often among native Northern Chlouvānem elsewhere in the country.

Sports

Sports in the Chlouvānem Inquisition are commonly divided into "traditional", "local", and "Western", even though there are not many practical difference in how they are handled or in their popularity - there are, for example, some "Western sports" where Chlouvānem athletes have been particularly successful. Traditional sports are typically those that have been practiced in the Inquisition for centuries and have also a substantial "ritual" component that is lacking or, at least, much lower in sports considered "Western". Motorsport and cycling are considered "traditional" as they were born in the Inquisition mostly independently from the Western world, and thus often have different rule sets (despite some recent international agreements, especially in cycling, that have reduced the differences).

  • rašvātra — sport

Police forces

The concept of "police" (dhurvālāṇa) in the Inquisition is different from most other modern nations. The Inquisition itself has the powers of a public order force, which provides basic law enforcement (including religious policing) and crime fighting - theoretically every Inquisitor may carry out these tasks even when not de jure on duty. Most of these tasks, except religious policing, may be also carried out by deacons. Anyone who acts as a part of the police force is called yinām nali murkadhāna (lit. Inquisitor for security) or yinām nali vālireh (Deacon for security). Cars of the Inquisition (black with golden yellow text) are the equivalent of police cars in the Chlouvānem lands.
This basic law enforcement is linked in responsibility to the local branches of the Inquisition; generally, it is organized on diocesan (or quaestorship) level, even if the central government still has powers above. Circuits and municipalities (or inter-parish territories) have their own branches, with possibly a few distinct offices in various parts of the territory.

There are, however, different departments - whose activities are most often carried out by laypeople, even if controlled by the Inquisition - for more specific tasks. All of them follow the same internal structure as the Inquisition (branches for dioceses or quaestorships, circuit-level divisions, and parish-level ones or inter-parish territories). All of their troopers are typically called dhurvān (at the most basic rank):

  • ūnimumi dhurvālāṇa — Road Police, typically composed by laypeople only, for traffic regulation and fighting crime on roads. Sometimes they have distinct cars (orange and black), but sometimes they can be found on Inquisition cars. It is regulated by the dårbhi flušamila - the Office of Transport.
  • tammilīltumi dhurvālāṇa — Railway Police, also typically composed by laypeople only, fights crime in railway stations and on trains. Also regulated by the dårbhi flušamila - the Office of Transport.
  • nāmilkumi dhurvālāṇa — Prison Police, concerned with the management of all types of prisons.
  • cāṃkradhurvālāṇa — Border Police, concerned with the monitoring of border crossings and importation and exportation of goods.
  • šuskagli dhurvālāṇa — Censorship Police, concerned with the monitoring of contents in media and publishing. Formerly (and de facto still) a part of the National Security Police, now de jure independent.
  • sarivāṇyināmi dhurvālāṇa — National Security Police, concerned with general surveillance as well as of monitoring threats to national security, both inside and outside the Inquisition.

Military

Military ranks in the Inquisition are used by the laišāhīma (the Army), and are also often found unchanged as ranks among members of most jānilšeidai (legions), which are private companies with the nominal aim of spreading the Yunyalīlti faith, all of them unofficially supported by the Inquisitorial government but considered terrorist groups in the West.
Note that all ranks are translated with reference to the closest terms in English general use.

The following are the military ranks used in the laišāhīma, which is divided in jāṇaheklah (land force), lairiheklah (air force), and jariaheklah (sea force):

  • lalla camihāryaṃšāni — High Grand General[8] - (OF-10) maximal authority in the armed forces; coincident with the Inquisitorial Prefect of the Army and Defense Troops, which also has ultimate command on all Inquisitors on civilian police duties.

Land forces

  • lallāgīn — (commissioned) Officer
    • camihāryaṃšāni — Grand General (OF-9), commander of an army group (laišāleikāṇa)
    • hāryaṃšāni — General (OF-8), commander of a field corps (laišāleikas)
    • jānilšāmbhāra — "Brigade General" or Brigade Commander (OF-6), commander of a brigade (jahīblāṇa), historically also known as legion (jānilšeidah).
    • jahībāšin — Colonel (OF-5), commander of a regiment (jahībē)
    • caminālьdarṣāni — Major (OF-3), commander of a battalion/greater company (caminālьdaryā)
    • nālьdarṣāni — Captain (OF-2), commander of a company (nālьdaryā)
    • konenīšāni — Lieutenant (OF-1), commander of a platoon (konoe)
    • lallāgīnan nairīvayīn — Officer Cadet
  • šulallāgīn — Sub-officer / Non-commissioned officer
    • yaltānīn — Ensign / Second-Lieutenant (OR-9). Historically known as mimaišīn, it changed denomination after the latter became the common term for "prostitute"[9].
    • lalla neɂānašāni — High Sergeant (OR-7, OR-6)
    • neɂānašāni — Sergeant (OR-5), commander of a squad (neɂāna)
  • laišāri — enlisted troop
    • mūnistas — Corporal (OR-4, OR-3)
    • nārvālis — Soldier (OR-2). Volunteers enlist at this rank after having successfully passed a month-long military training camp.
    • nyudumbhīn — Recruit (OR-1). Conscripts enlist at this rank - note that military service in the Inquisition is mandatory, though alternative service is possible.

Noble

Due to the lack of any class of nobles in the present-day Inquisition, usage of these terms varies a lot depending on the historical and geographical context. In the Chlouvānem territories, historically there have been many different noble ranks with various designations, as each broad region had its own terms and conventions. The term ēmīlāmita (derived from ēmīla "tiger") is used for nobility in this historical context only. There is no broad term for "nobility" today (pūgāsilāṇa, "ensemble of kings", comes closest) and the terms are either those borrowed from Skyrdagor or - increasingly - the original designations are simply adapted and kept as such.

  • pūgāsis — king, queen (< Sky. pyl gavszi "king of all", originally the Emperor of Greater Skyrdagor). The most common term used for present-day royalty, including all Evandorian countries which still have a monarchy.
    • camipūgāsis — emperor, empress (historical use only)
  • pūs — king, queen (< Sky. pyl "king"), used exclusively for Aksalbor and Arkjatar (the only former Greater Skyrdegan countries which have royalty).
  • šåkham — king, typically used for most historical Chlouvānem kingdoms in the Plain.
  • šåkhisseh — queen, typically used for most historical Chlouvānem kingdoms in the Plain.
  • buyabēṣam — king, formerly used for monarchs in the Chlouvānem Near East.
  • buyabǣši — queen, formerly used for monarchs in the Chlouvānem Near East.
  • okašūna — king, in the context of late Second Era/Early Third Era Kans-Tsan kingdoms (they didn't allow queens to reign).
  • palbokas — king, queen, used for current and historical monarchs in Eastern Védren.
  • pūṣēlkesis — prince (male heir to a throne; < Sky. pylselekyz "king-son"), used in almost all contexts; today also used as a Chlouvānem male given name.
  • puvesovya — princess (female heir to a throne; < Sky. pylyzovja "king-daughter"), used in almost all contexts; today also used as a Chlouvānem female given name.
  • kubašīrih — heir to a throne in the historical Kans-Tsan kingdoms.
  • tonahīsen — daughter of a Kans-Tsan king.

Chemistry

  • varṣlūm — chemistry, alchemy
  • irūtākalam — atom
  • līñceh - molecule

Automobile model numbering

All car models produced by factories in the Chlouvānem Inquisition are named according to the following scheme (which also covers other types of vehicles):

A car model has the structure ABC-abcc where:

  • ABC is the three-letter code of the factory (for example HLT for the Halcūmai of Haltakimarta; ṢRC for the Ṣurcūmai of Ṣurvāla; IRV for the Irucūmai of Iruvāṇi...)
  • abcc is a numeric code formed by the following elements:

a is determined by the "size" of a vehicle based on its engine displacement and (in the smaller categories) curb weight. For passenger cars, vans, and pick-up trucks (those whose second digit (see below) is 1, 2, or 4), the digits used are:

  • 1 for an engine displacement of less than 5 egd (~520.8 cc) and a curb weight of less than 4,6 māp (~676.62 kg).
  • 2 for an engine displacement between 5 and 6 egd (~625 cc) and a curb weight between 4,6 and 6 māp (~902.16 kg). Most cars in these two categories are legally defined as naidacūllai (which have further size limits).
  • 3 for an engine displacement between 6 and ᘔ egd (~1041.67 cc) and a curb weight between 6 and 7,5 māp (~1052.52 kg).
  • 4 for an engine displacement between ᘔ and 12 (1410) egd (~1458.33 cc) and a curb weight between 7 and 8 māp (~1202.88 kg).
  • 5 for an engine displacement between 12 and 18 (2010) egd (~2083.33 cc) and a curb weight of 8 māp or more.
  • 6 for an engine displacement between 18 and 20 (2410) egd (~2500 cc).
  • 7 for an engine displacement of more than 20 egd.

b is determined by the type of vehicle:

  • 1 for general passenger cars;
  • 2 for vans;
  • 3 for buses;
  • 4 for light trucks;
  • 5 for mid or heavy trucks;
  • 6 for tank trucks;
  • 7 for motorcycles;
  • 8 for tractors;
  • 9 for dump trucks;
  • ᘔ for military vehicles.

cc is the internal model numbering decided by the factory.

Notes

  1. ^ There is no distinction between a Chlouvānem who is a citizen of the Inquisition, a Chlouvānem living abroad, and usually not even non-Chlouvānem living in the Inquisition are distinguished.
  2. ^ enægbasai is only used when differentiating between the Bazá people living in Ênêk-Bazá and those living in the (bordering) ethnic diocese of Tūnambasā.
  3. ^ Note also Nähäri-mediated niværenieh, "white person".
  4. ^ The Yuyši homelands are politically divided into various Ceránentian countries.
  5. ^ The actual local term for potato chips, which are a Western (natively Nivarese) introduction, varies throughout Greater Skyrdagor, but zylegik ve naszky "potato leaves" is understood everywhere.
  6. ^ From Skyrdagor toúneszy, ultimately from Cerian taónensi "shaker".
  7. ^ There are three matriarchates: the Matriarchate of Ohdaise (odaṣē ga marti dårbhameinǣñaña) in Holenagika, the Matriarchate of Tol Szagsil (talsakṣila ga marti dårbhameinǣñaña) in Karynaktja, and the Matriarchate of Mbilu-Kozowe (mbilukasavē ga marti dårbhameinǣñaña) in the Eastern Védrenian country of Dozakyá.
  8. ^ hāryaṃšāni is an ancient Āṣasṝkhami term more accurately meaning "first in line".
  9. ^ Today the diminutive mimaišcañēh is even more common in this sense.
