Lexicon of the Chlouvānem language, sortable.

See Chlouvānem phrasebook for a list of common expressions.

NOTE (Nov 23, 2017): I am rebuilding this page once again - I just thought this format suits a thematic wordlist more than simply dumping 3500+ words here.

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.

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
  • mėlita — 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

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
  • 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
  • mėnnah — sweet, rose pink-coloured banana whose skin gets reddish when very mature.
  • molvækāvi — Calemerian "cashew apple", with a hazelnut-like flavour.
  • ñaiñcañėh — Calemerian starfruit (usually orange-red and with a distinct strong apple-like flavour).
  • ñubākas — yellow banana (more bitter than mėnnai 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 lьtvogė 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
  • benahīra — tomato
  • dāhāma — an edible tuber, quite like sweet potatoes but with a distinct reddish colour
  • dīlla (sg. only) — peas
  • ḍuya — okra
  • gubham (sg. only) — chickpeas
  • hauša — (green-white) cabbage
  • hunai — lilac yam
  • jaɂukas — cooking plantain, large yellowish-greenish banana
  • jęšah — a type of crunchy leafy green
  • kīnaška — cauliflower (typically purple)
  • lājanah — carrot
  • lambā — a tuber, mostly used for its flour (called læmāh)
  • leiɂa (sg. only) — red beans
  • mahīra (sg. only) — lentils
  • marėšin — Calemerian avocado (with an apple-like appearance and texture); one of the main crops originating from Evandor (its Chlouvānem name is a Cerian borrowing).
  • miltai (sg. only) — soybeans
  • mulājha — a leafy green with long, narrow leaves, and mild bitter flavour
  • mæcichā (sg. only) — spinach
  • nåmā — potato
  • oeyiša — fennel
  • parkṣīn — Chili-like pepper
  • poniā — a leafy green with typically big, light green leaves. It is one of the most widely grown leafy greens in the Inquisition.
  • prāšan — orange cauliflower-like plant, quite sweeter than other cabbages or cauliflowers
  • pulkus — onion
  • reiba — olive
  • špṛmvā — green seaweed
  • šųlah — a green, leafy cabbage, reminescent of Savoy cabbages; it is one of the most grown vegetables across the Inquisition and is considered abroad as a signature ingredient of Chlouvānem cuisine.
  • tamba — mushroom (in general)
  • taɂūh — red seaweed
  • thaisah — brown seaweed
  • ǣṣinam — radish
  • lāsīm (sg. only) — cereals
  • karūdas — millet
  • kunādih — black sesame
  • lūdya — rice, particularly non-sticky and white ones, but also a cover term for all kinds of rice (note that uncooked rice is maɂika)
  • 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 (bhælāchokvāman mædhram) and meat from fish (dalьtāmān mædhram). Note that the basic word for "fish", dalьtah, is only used for the animals and never in culinary contexts.

  • mædhram — meat, including fish
    • bhælāchokvāman mædhram — meat (not fish)
    • dalьtāmān mædhram — fish (when used as food)
  • saikha — eel

Pastes, dressings, other foods

  • blīceika — paste made from moldy and aged bulnā berry pulp, with a taste similar to strong blue cheeses such as Gorgonzoeula. It is Līlasuṃghāṇa's most typical food and a prime example of acquired taste in Chlouvānem cuisine.
  • 〜 damlātas — syrup
  • ḍeñam — plant milk
  • gaiškas (sg. only) — noodles
  • haikra — vinegar
  • ilьnīka — fried vegetable nugget
  • jvyarñuɂah — literally "jvyara cream"; it is a paste made from moldy and aged jvyara berry pulp, a delicacy of the northern Jade Coast. It is similar to blīceika, but has a milder taste, is somewhat sweeter and is a bit more "foamy".
  • lameṣiḍeñam — coconut milk
  • lameṣmædhram — coconut jelly
  • lьsāṭa — tofū
  • miltaiḍeñam — soy milk
  • 〜 ñuɂah — cream, sauce
  • oegas — brine
  • oeglьsāṭa — fermented and brined tofū
  • paren — a vegetable cheese-like paste, used as a spread
    • rahīmparen — mint-flavoured paren
  • plipai — stock
  • rāltaika — kebab-like skewed dish, most commonly with fish. In older Chlouvānem, it meant anything cooked on a skewer (now simply rālte 〜).
  • talьšūh — oil
    • prādvātalьšūh — sesame oil
    • reibdalьšūh — olive oil
  • širṣṭis — chutney, sauce (thicker than ñuɂah)
  • uram — cooked fruit
    • yālvire uram — varen'je
    • nanūką lā uram — mostarda
  • yālvoe — sugar
    • lameṣyālvoe — coconut sugar
    • pėmbāvi — cane sugar

Cutlery

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
  • maldānis — the main plate each diner uses
  • plaipāgis — bowl used for soups
  • rāltah — skewer
  • voleya — the smallest bowl, typically containing side creams or small, pickled foods (typically vegetables, sometimes fruit or fish). Each diner has one.

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).
  • javihumāyikā — liqueur bar (a bar which produces and serves its own liqueurs and wines, eaten along with pǣcicænah or other simple foods)
  • 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)
  • yųlkita — an upscale, formal restaurant, not really common except for large cities. Commonly they are still referred to as ladragyalai.

Notes
