== Bizarre idioms == | |||
In considering the origins of the Behru and related peoples, I've had some fun thinking about how their language will change. The progenitors of the Behru, the Ae, are refugees from an almost succesful genocide that almost completely destroyed a complex civilization over 60,000 years old, killing trillions. Since the remaining survivors speak a language made for a high-tech utopia and have been reduced to the stone age, their language is gonna have a lot of weird idioms. Perhaps their verb for "to ride an elevator, train" will become "to ride a floating object, raft", and eventually "to sail", once advanced watercraft have been reinvented. "to fly on an aircraft" would probably become "to travel, go somewhere distant". "to message, text" would probably become "to pass along, speak in private". "to shop, purchase" might become "to pluck, grasp", productive foraging regions might be called "markets". Their culture is going to be really weird, they'll be paleolithic hunter-gatherers with an easily learned writing system, allowing much of the paleolithic period to be preserved in writing, and since the Behru have indefinite lifespans, there might be a few lucky people who manage to survive for thousands of years and be living historians. | |||
