In this page, you can find assorted thematic word lists in the Chlouvānem language.

→ See Chlouvānem phrasebook for a list of common expressions and set phrases.

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.
Transcontinental countries, in the tables below, are listed in all continents where they occupy a part of the mainland; islands in other continents that are part of the metropolitan territory are only counted if they form a significant (i.e. at least one-fifth) part of the territory and/or population. (Therefore, for example, the Inquisition is not counted as transcontinental despite the Kāyīchah Islands being geographically in Védren). Due to unclear definitions on where the Evandor/Márusúturon border actually lies north of the Síluren mountains, all of Gathuráni is counted as Evandorian.

The -tave or similar endings in countries of eastern Eppillænan/former Kaiṣamā (all with related, Kenengyry 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.

Northeast

The Northeastern tribunal is composed by thirteen dioceses and is an area with a variety of climates and landscapes. The southern mainland part is composed by a number of endorheic basins and plateaus with various mountain chains separating them and the coasts. Central to this area is the Nælanīm river, whose valley acts as a division between the arid basins to the south and the colder grasslands of inland Bivarteloga and Nolyækajātia to the north. The far northern part of the Northeast is the hoge diocese of Kēhamijāṇa, the northernmost area in the Inquisition, mostly covered by taiga and with a cold, subpolar climate despite the relatively low latitudes (southern Kēhamijāṇa straddles the 45th parallel north). Off the coast of the bordering country of New Égélonía lie the two islands of Hokujaši and Aratāram, together one of the most prosperous areas of the nation. Most of the population of the Northeast lies either on the southern coast of Hokujaši, on the mainland diocese of Tombåglēnia, the tribunal's southernmost area - a coastal strip notable for its very humid climate, especially when contrasted with the arid basins just inland - and in the Nælanīm valley (mostly Nyāšajāṇa diocese, but also, upstream, southeastern Halyanijātia, where the largest city of the Northeastern tribunal, Īdisa (1.9 million people), lies). Other large cities are Nǣmimarta, the capital of Hokujaši island (1.7 million), Lādьbanyāna (1.5 million), and Kælindāgura (1.4 million). The tribunal includes the second-largest diocese (Kēhamijāṇa) as well as the smallest non-insular one (Nivdateloga).
The diocese of Seikamvēyeh is part of the Northeast but economically, climately, and culturally distinct. It is the ethnic diocese of the Čathinow people, the main ethnic group of the neighboring country of Nēčathiwēyē.

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.

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", or even more generally "sibling"
      • 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 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 suhālyai and vahūs 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)

  • 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 (like any other term that refers to spouses except for one's own) 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

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

Housing

  • kita — house, home
  • barkakita — residential panel building (cf. Plattenbau, Panelák). The most common type of residential building all throughout the Chlouvānem Inquisition - it is estimated that about 80% of all Chlouvānem live in one. Due to Chlouvānem Kaiṣamā-era influence, they are also the majority of housing in all countries of the former Union as well as in some areas of Greater Skyrdagor.
    • līvakita — apartment block (in the vast majority of cases, līvakitai are panel houses, so that the terms are almost synonyms).
  • keika — a residential building where the flats are in (usually two-, rarely three-story) buildings wrapped around a shared internal courtyard(IT). Traditionally typical of the rural Plain, due to urban expansion many such buildings - or keikai clusters - are found in older areas of most Chlouvānem cities. A few of them still do not have private toilet facilities, only commonal ones in the courtyard.
    • The term, moreover, also means "courtyard" or "garden", and in this sense has been used as a compound element for words such as tammikeika (train station) or lairkeika (airport). Therefore, keika in colloquial usage often also means "station".
  • martakita — shophouse, a type of terraced house where the upper floor(s) is/are residential and the ground floor is a shop. Literally meaning "city house", this is the dominant type of building in the older centres of Chlouvānem cities. martakitai do not need to have a uniform front - being attached to another such house on at least one side is enough to define them as such.
  • lailęe kita — single-family (detached) house. Common in rural areas, rainforest villages, and in a few older neighborhoods of some cities.
  • danileliēmiausire kita — two-family (semi-detached) house. Very rare in the Inquisition, except for some areas in the Northwest where they were built in Western colonial times.

Rooms

  • dvārma — room
  • kamelьšītah — a central dining/living room, where guests are usually entertained. Common in older buildings, especially urban ones, but not found in most modern houses.
    • In palaces and large public/government buildings, this term is better translated as "hall"; an example is the various sets of halls of the Inquisitorial Palace, e.g. the Blue Halls (kāmilirāhe kamelьšītai) where the Great Inquisitor resides.
  • maildvārma — laundry room
    • mundhūdvārma — laundry room (less common synonym)
  • mitendvārma — bathroom
  • puglidvārma — bedroom (coll. puglǣšah)
  • yųljavyāh — kitchen

Food and eating

Types of dishes and cooking techniques

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 (sajrām), 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
    • haitē — salad, also the most common type of Chlouvānem "fast food". The common Chlouvānem salad contains mostly leafy greens, usually many mild-tasting vegetables (the actual ones used usually vary regionally and seasonally), stir-fried and spiced klaḍas (i.e. Chlouvānem tempeh), and a small portion of strong tasting, usually pickled, vegetables or mushrooms. The most commonly recognized ingredient, however, is the dressing, which is always some kind of strongly aromatic balsamic vinegar. haitē shops or carts are a common sight in cities of the Inquisition, especially near transit facilities, and it is very common to find people eating haitē on public transport at any time of the day.
  • benahīra — tomato
  • dāhāma — an edible tuber, quite like sweet potatoes but with a distinct reddish colour

  • reiba — olive
  • špṛmvā — green seaweed

  • thaisah — brown seaweed

  • ñaṃryah — rye
  • ñañām — sticky rice
  • prādvām — sesame
  • 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.
Note that in most areas of the Chlouvānem Inquisition ((semi-)deserts, the northeastern taiga, and small islands being the main exceptions), mostly due to religious reasons, meat consumption is one of the lowest on Calémere. Most meat eaten is fish, and most of it is preserved in some way.

  • mædhram — meat, including fish

The word comes from Skyrdagor naszky, meaning "potato"[6], 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.

  • uram — cooked fruit
    • yālvire uram — varen'je

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. Spoons are used everywhere for thick soups, but less thick broth soups, common in the Plains and the Jade Coast, are eaten by picking things in them with chopsticks and then drinking the broth from the bowl.

  • vailašaus (pl. only) — cutlery
  • chubdā — chopsticks (a pair of)
    • chubdlaukas — a single chopstick
  • kælpen — fork
  • segen — spoon
  • tanega — knife
  • šūlyakāše (pl. only) — dishes (plates, bowls...)
  • jaɂukinūlia — banana leaf. In the South, each diner traditionally uses one of these instead of other plates.
  • kayæṣṭera — bowl used for serving many stews and especially side dishes of stewed vegetables. There can be a large communal kayæṣṭera, or each diner gets a smaller one.
  • lallaika — platter

Eating establishments

  • dhāvala — inn (restaurant + hotel, found outside cities)
    • martidhāvala — city inn (always has a restaurant and functions as a hotel, albeit with a small number of low-priced rooms (typically 6 to 8))
    • predhakena — hotel (in cities; may have a restaurant but often does not)
  • hælvekita — "fruit bar" (a place which serves mostly fruit- or plant milk-based drinks; often just a tent or a moving cart).

  • ladragyala — tavern, restaurant (the main type of restaurant in the Chlouvānem world)
  • lunaikeika — tea house (the Chlouvānem equivalent of cafés). Tea is their main focus but often serve also fruit-based drinks (like hælvekitai) and/or liqueurs.
  • yaridhūs — brewery bar (just like javihumāyikai but with beer instead of liqueurs or wines)

Genres

  • laneika — possibly the most popular music style in the Inquisition, heavily influenced by Chlouvānem classical music and purer Yunyalīlti devotional music, sounding a bit like Qawwali to Earthly ears.
  • mūṃjas — a traditional music genre from the Central Plain, characterized by danceable tunes, heavy on percussions and string instruments (picked and percussive ones in particular). Many songs incorporate heicā, with recurring rhythmic chants made of just a few syllables instead of full lyrics.
  • kerachomā — popular non-classical music genre originally from the East and Northeast, today one of the most popular in the whole Inquisition (together with laneika and mūṃjas), somewhat reminescent of 60s country music.
  • tūnisus[9] — 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.

Schools in the Chlouvānem Inquisition

Note that the school year is equivalent to the calendar year (which begins on the northern autumn equinox); ages in the following table are expressed as "students that turn X during a given year" and "students that start their Xth year during a given year". As grade retention is used in Chlouvānem schools, there may be older students. However, unless exceptional circumstances (severe underpreparation) call for it, no grade retention is practiced in elementary schools. 60% of all grade retentions happen in the fifth (šulkende) or sixth (tulūɂende) grades.

Grading system

There is not a uniform grading system for non-higher education in the Inquisition, with three different scales used in different areas of the country. The most common one is a 1～7 scale (plus 0, used for absence of any kind of performance) used in all areas except in most of the Far East and the Northwest.
However, independent of the grading scale used, 78/144 is the usual threshold (in practice, test-dependant) for passing a test.

In all following tables, note that performance ranges are indicative and may vary depending on the test. There is, however, no curved grading system in use in any area of the country.

1～7 school mark scale
Mark Performance
(decimal, in /144)		 Description Colloquial name
7 132/144 + Superior lalla chīkās
6 114～131/144 Very good taili hulābdān tulūɂās
5 96～113/144 Good hulābdān šulkās
4 78～95/144 Sufficient maifusire nęltayas
3 60～77/144 Insufficient usmaifusire pāmvyas
2 42～59/144 Poor .. danyas
1 less than 42/144 Very poor .. leilās
0 0/144 Not gradable .. ajrās

Qualdomailor uses mostly the same grading system, except for everything less than 60/144 being a 2 and 1 being used instead of 0.

Six of the eight Northwestern dioceses (Yultijātia, Tapirjātia, Ārūpalkvabī, Ūnikadīltha, and Samvālšāṇṭrē), as well as some of the overseas protectorates, use a 6-grade system conceptually mutuated from the Auralian one[10], which is used in many countries of the planet. It is also called "alphabetic" as marks are named using letters instead of numbers; while in the original Western system the six grades were named using the first six letters of the Íscégon alphabet (C E U T A R), the Chlouvānem "alphabetic" system uses the first six letters of the Chlouvānem script:

"Alphabetic" school mark scale

M (mamas) 126/144 + Excellent cami
P (papas) 108～125/144 Very good taili hulābdān

B (babas) 78～89/144 Sufficient maifusire
BH (bhebas) 54～77/144 Insufficient usmaifusire
F (fafas) less than 54/144 Bad ..

Many dioceses in the mainland Southern Far East (Yamyagērisa, Kotaijātia, Āturiyāmba, Tianyǣša, Daihāgaiya, Yayadalga, Tendukijātia, Niyobajātia) and all of the Southeastern Islands use a different grading system which only uses four marks, using neither alphabetic nor numeric names for them. This system does not distinguish different failing marks.

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).
Most team sports practiced in the Inquisition do not have distinct categories for male- and female-bodied athletes, with the notable exceptions of cycling and Western sports that follow rules specified by international sanctioning committees (the result of this all being that e.g. there are two tēyakaitsūh championships, but only one for yalkhaitah). Fighting sports like lairhimfa and ryāšvāṇa, however, do have distinct categories.

Chlouvānem athletes rarely compete outside the borders of the Eastern bloc, as Chlouvānem laws ban not only professional sports in the Inquisition but also rule as illegal for Chlouvānem citizens to be paid as professional sportspeople abroad. A few exception have happened in recent years, mostly in motorsports and cycling, but these have only been possible as the Inquisition itself funded these athletes, that had all become among the best champions in their sports in the Eastern bloc, in order to compete abroad as de facto official representatives of the Chlouvānem Inquisition.

  • rašvātra — sport
  • tulbaiganin (sg. only) — the Eastern Bloc's "Olympics". The name comes from Soenyŏk tulbaygŏnin "the Tournament", as it was first organized in Soenyŏ-tave in 6386 (384212) as a protest reaction from the Soenyŏ communist government against the organization of the (until-then-)worldwide Réménaso Games's 'bourgeois' decision of allowing professional sportsmen. Soenyŏ-tave's allies (and therefore the Inquisition too) as well as many other communist or socialist states stopped participating in the Réménaso for the Tulbaygŏnin.
    • The term Tulbaygŏnin was first used in the Kaiṣamā era for the pan-Union biennial sporting events - in Chlouvānem, however it was called rašvātṛcamijaṃšā. The eighteen Kaiṣamā countries, actually, did participate in the Réménaso Games under a single flag.
  • fildoe — game, match (in yalkhaitah, tēyakaitsūh, lūmehaitah)
  • ladьla — the clay-, sand-, and hay-made ring for lairhimfa and ryāšvāṇa fights.
  • samvītam — league, sanctioning body (note that in contexts other than sports, the term means "cooperative, collective")

Traditional sports (opašāmitų rašvātrai) or local sports (jātei rašvātrai)

  • nijogākonanah, colloquially just nijñah — archery, considered the national sport of the Inquisition due to its spread: it is practiced from village fairs to nationwide tournaments and it is one of the most typical activities during sports classes in schools.
    • nijogākeika — archery range
  • lairhimfa — a typically Chlouvānem fighting sport conceptually not unlike sumō (and Chlouvānem ryāšvāṇa), but played by lighter fighters and with a considerable amount of jumps and less contact - hence the name, literally "air fight". Barely understood and followed abroad, Chlouvānem people are crazy fans of lairhimfa, with the five major yearly tournaments of top division fighters being regularly among the most attended sports events and watched television broadcasts in the Inquisition.
  • ryāšvāṇa — a fighting sport conceptually the same as lairhimfa, but more like sumō on Earth, based on a completely different fighting style. It also has a large following, but somewhat less than lairhimfa scene. Anyway, the seven yearly ryāšvāṇa tournaments are scheduled to not be overlapping with lairhimfa ones, and they still have a larger following than most other events taking place at the same time.
  • yalkhaitah — a typical ball sport originally from the tropical areas of the Inquisition (basically like futevôlei but with three players for team). It is the most popular team sport in the Chlouvānem Inquisition, played on natural beaches by the sea and rivers as well as artificial fields inland, but is not that popular abroad except for some other countries of the Eastern bloc.
    • jñilā — "stadium" for yalkhaitah (the name is ultimately taken from a local vernacular, derived from Chl. ajñīlāṇa, collective noun from ajñīh "fence")
  • cūllarašvātra — motorsport
    • cūllanagdha — circuit (also simply nagdha)
    • læmibāgam — racing team
    • ajodhambaɂas (coll. baɂas) — free practice session
    • panaɂetatimas nali yanambaɂas (coll. panaɂetatimom himfa) — qualifying session
    • panaɂetatimas (coll. panaɂa) — pole position
    • læmias — race
    • læmilāṇa — championship
  • dahįṃrašvātra — cycling
    • dahįnnagdha — velodrome (also simply nagdha)

Western sports (kerultugi rašvātrai)

  • kārakhūrīn — stadium, venue for any Western sport (excl. golf)
  • tēyakaitsūh AKA (parts of the Far West) dįbhaitah — so-called "Fárásenian football" or "Islanders' football" (Cer.: cósutióren róšoné), it is a football game that was born in the colonies of Western powers in the Cétore archipelago off northwestern Fárásen, merging together elements of Western football codes (which were being developed at the time) with rules taken from ball games of Fárásenian natives (the name tēyakaitsūh itself is ultimately of Fárásenian origin); playing rules and the pitch's overall shape, as well as (parts of) the goal posts are comparable to Australian rules football, but the field is divided into different areas partially restricting movement. From its Fárásenian birthplace, it was introduced to other Western colonies and, through contact with pre-Consolidation Chlouvānem states, also into the territories that would later become the present-day Inquisition, where it gained a huge popularity, almost as much as many traditional sports. In fact, the Inquisition is today one of the countries where this game is most popular (together with many countries of Fárásen and Ogúviutón, as well as - because of Chlouvānem influence - the former Kaiṣamā), so that there is, yearly, both a league and a cup tournament very popular among Chlouvānem people, and the Inquisition is the most-titled national team in the sport, with six World Cup wins. The Inquisition also hosted the 6417 (386912) Islanders' Football World Cup - which it won -, notable as the first and so far only time in recent history the Inquisition hosted a worldwide international event open also to nations from the Western bloc and sphere of influence.
    • mūrkadhānavīyi tēyakaitsūvi samvītami fildeṃlāṇa (colloquially mūtēsafi) — Championship of the Inquisitorial Tēyakaitsūh League
    • tēyakaitsūvi camihælškas — Grand Tēyakaitsūh Cup
  • lūmehaitah AKA (Northwest, some areas in the North) kaṣṭyoran AKA (Northeast, except Hokujāši and Aratāram isl.) dįbhaitah — so-called "Evandorian football" or cósutióren (ultimately from Nor. kosteyôrn, meaning "goal-ball"), the most popular game in many Calémerian countries, invented in Nordûlik as a 'compromise coding' of earlier ball games played at village fairs and further developed in its early years. Its modern form may be described as somewhat reminescent of soccer but with elements of both gridiron football (equipment, plus hands are used too) and Gaelic football (notably the goals), with also some major differences such as the field being divided in sectors that give different points and a strip close to the goal where only the defending goalkeeper is allowed.
    In the Inquisition, it is most commonly known as lūmehaitah (lūme- being often cited as an example of a Chlouvānem Cranberry morpheme, originally standing for lūmaisetų "from Auralia"), but also, in the Northwest and parts of the North, with the Cerian loan kaṣṭyoran, and in the Northeast by the native compound dįbhaitah (kick-ball), which however is, in most of the country, only used as a collective term for tēyakaitsūh, lūmehaitah, and similar games. Evandorian football is not as practiced in the Inquisition as in many other countries of the planet, being dwarfed in popularity by all traditional sports and also by its "sibling" tēyakaitsūh, and while the Inquisition never got to qualify in the Cósutióren World Championship, possibly the most watched single-sport tournament on the planet, its national team got some decent results in the Márusúturonian Cup, with a best result of runner-up (against Karynaktja in 6407 (385Ɛ12) and against Aréntía in 6415 (386712).

Politics

  • ṣarivāṇa — state, country
  • nūṣṭhatatiājrāya — republic, democracy; also darīyoe, which is however a literal translation of rēs pūblica, i.e. something of public importance.
  • pūgākṣarivāṇa — monarchy

Ideologies in the Chlouvānem Inquisition

  • nāɂahilūṃlija — Nāɂahilūmism (modern Yunyalīlti fundamentalism)
  • opašāmьnædani — traditionalism
  • yaivcārṇædani — communism

The main split in the Chlouvānem political spectrum is between traditionalists (opašāmьnædǣnai, sg. -ǣnah) and Nāɂahilūmists (nāɂahilūṃlejīn, sg. and pl.). Trying to define them in a left-right spectrum, they are both right-wing authoritarian but strongly left-wing economically: their main differences are on the role the Inquisition should have towards other nations. Actually, Nāɂahilūmists are more traditionalists than modern-day Traditionalists are. Traditionalists are advocates of some degree of "peaceful coexistence", thinking that the ultimate fate of all societies is to reach a Yunyalīlti-acceptable way of life, and thus advocate a peacefully cooperative, even if protectionist, foreign policy. Nāɂahilūmists, on the other hand, think that Chlouvānem people, having been "chosen" as bringers of the message of nature through the birth among them of the Chlamiṣvatrā, must intervene globally in order to spread the Yunyalīlti faith at any cost, because heresy would destroy everything otherwise. Economically, Nāɂahilūmists support a much higher degree of state control and economic planning than traditionalists do.

Communism is the main Western political ideology supported by both Traditionalists and Nāɂahilūmists for foreign, non-Yunyalīlti majority, countries, particularly the form called "Yunyalīlti communism" which is derived mainly by Yunyalīlti religious theory with influence from Western Communism. It was the general state ideology in the former Kaiṣamā and, to a lesser extent, still is in the Eastern bloc (even though countries such as most of Greater Skyrdagor are not communist). However, the Inquisition itself is not usually considered a communist country, due to the prevalence of the religious drive and to the presence of some markedly non-communist elements, such as, for example, the existence of sixteen actual kingdoms (even if with mostly ceremonial power only), a third of whose elective, scattered in a few Western and Southern dioceses - they had all been deposed by Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma and were only restored after the end of the Kaiṣamā.

Law and documents

  • lilamirtah — ID card, also services' and health card and internal passport
  • pūrṣęriūm — driving licence
  • kaupeimirtah — international passport
  • lailivāmmirtah — religious travel permit
  • kuvimirtah — (entry) visa; residence permit
  • kaupeyęriūm — exit visa

Only the lilamirtah is mandatory, but in most cases where identification is needed all three documents are valid; the main exceptions are for purchasing determinate goods, where only the lilamirtah is accepted.

Entry visas and residence permits (the term kuvimirtah, pl. kuvimirtai is used for both) are not needed for citizens of countries of the Common Movement Space (tailьcārē duldibabhrām or taiduba — all countries of the former Kaiṣamā except Taruebus, plus all of Greater Skyrdagor, Čīwēynac, Nēčathiwēyē, and a few countries in eastern Védren), however international passports (simply called passports in all Taiduba countries except for the Inquisition and Fathan) are needed in order to travel from country to country; the exceptions being that citizens of the Inquisition may travel with the ID card only to Qualdomailor, Brono, Fathan, Gorjan, and Kŭyŭgwažtow (the only country among these that does not border the Inquisition), and vice versa for e.g. Qualdomelic citizens travelling into the Inquisition. These are independently agreed individual agreements between countries, and other similar ones exist inside the Taiduba (e.g. between Brono and Fathan or Soenyŏ-tave and Kŭyŭgwažtow).
lailivāmmirtai are documents issued by diocesan authorities (religious-only ones) in non-Taiduba countries that allow Yunyalīlti believers to remain in the Inquisition, therefore avoiding the need for a visa. They, however, do not allow entrance in the Inquisition (a passport is needed), nor allow to leave (an exit visa is needed).

Citizens of non-Taiduba countries, unless they are Yunyalīlti and have obtained a lailivāmmirtah, are required to carry a kuvimirtah with them at all times. Exit visas (kaupeyęriūm, pl. kaupeyęriūs) are needed for Chlouvānem and foreign nationals in order to leave the country, unless (for holders of Taiduba-area passport) travelling to another country in the Taiduba. Non-Taiduba nationals require an exit visa no matter their destination. Also, kuvimirtai (unlike lailivāmmirtai) are typically limited in scope, specifying certain areas in the Inquisition they cannot travel outside of.

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 eparchical) 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 eparchies, 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[13] - (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"[14].
    • 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.

Sea forces

Noble

Due to the general lack of nobles in the present-day Inquisition, except for sixteen ceremonial "kingdoms" scattered in Western and Southern dioceses (most of whose have a local title), 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. ^ The Kāyīchah Islands, which are a 'metropolitan' (i.e. not overseas) territory are geographically in Védren.
  3. ^ enægbasai is only used when differentiating between the Bazá people living in Ênêk-Bazá and those living in the (bordering) ethnic diocese of Tūnambasā.
  4. ^ Note also Nähäri-mediated niværenieh, "white person".
  5. ^ The Yuyši homelands are politically divided into various Ceránentian countries.
  6. ^ 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.
  7. ^ The only exception is labdarṣilardhīka, or "acting maid", the assistant of a bishop, which does not have a commonly accepted non-female alternative as there hasn't been any non-female acting maid yet. camimurkadhāna, or Great Inquisitor, may also be considered gender-specific, but only because only females can be elected to that rank.
  8. ^ Also found, but rarer, are the terms formed with the root lamih, thus lamirlila or lamirīn.
  9. ^ From Skyrdagor toúneszy, ultimately from Cerian taónensi "shaker".
  10. ^ Note that Auralia itself nowadays uses a system where marks are named using numbers and not letters.
  11. ^ De jure, the Great Inquisitor may.
  12. ^ 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.
  13. ^ hāryaṃšāni is an ancient Āṣasṝkhami term more accurately meaning "first in line".
  14. ^ Today the diminutive mimaišcañēh is even more common in this sense.
