Chlouvānem/Non-canon

From Linguifex
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page lists Chlouvānem words which are not considered canon in its setting, Calémere. All of these words specifically refer to geographical, historical, cultural, or any other aspect known on Earth that are unknown to inhabitants of the conworld, as well as words referring to other conworlds.


Note on source languages

As the Chlouvānem (or any other Calémerian people) do not have any knowledge of Earth, an accurate choice of any source language to be used is quite pointless; in actual usage, there could be many possible variants for each of those, as canonically no "true" Chlouvānem word exists for any of these concepts. So, even if, for example, the word for "Eurasia" listed here, ivrājiya, is adapted from Russian, an adaptation of the English word (which would be yurēja or yureija) is an equally valid alternative.

The source languages of the words listed here usually (but not always) have been chosen to fit one or more of the following criteria:

  • The source language is a language that inspired Chlouvānem aesthetics;
  • The word in the chosen source language is quite similar to the English and/or most common international denomination;
  • The word in the source language can fit Chlouvānem phonology with few changes.

Some common endings have been borrowed in a certain way and regularized in all words that have an etymological cognate; Germanic -land is adapted as -landa [-ɴ̆ändä].

Generally, the borrowed word is then used to derive other words as if they were actual Chlouvānem words, and they have been adapted to be declined as regular Chlouvānem words.

Planets

Latin words keep their endings but are declined as Chlouvānem words, even if they have different stems in Latin, e.g. venusvenave "on Venus". The choice of using the Latin word was made because of their use in most European languages and, through English, in many others. Earth being the Sanskrit word is partly because of the many terms in use in European languages, partly a homage to the main aesthetic inspiration behind Chlouvānem.

  • Mercury: merkuryus
  • Venus: venus
  • Earth: bhūmih
  • Mars: mārtis
  • Jupiter: yūpiteh
  • Saturn: sāturṇus
  • Uranus: ūraṇus
  • Neptune: neptūnus
