Kinship Systems and Terminology in your Con-stuff (2014-11-04 12:28:26) :
[quote kodé][quote Anguipes]Blood Kinship: maternal uncles are "mother's maternal siblings", there is no term for their children. There are no terms for paternal aunts or their children. [/quote]
Just curious: are paternal aunts and their children taboo relatives, where you're not allowed to talk to them? Or is there just no specific term for them?[/quote]
There's no specific root term, and they're not blood relatives by celestial law. Which makes it a good idea to talk to th...

Jalvic peoples can into glorious empire. For this reason, they only have three colour terms, except those in contact with Kangshuic mountain yak herders who know the secret of what a yellow is.
...is the basic story.

I haven't put a whole lot of thought into colour symbology in most of my languages. However:
In Nahakhontl, red is associated with truth, goodness, Shorragites[plus]the speakers of Nahakhontl[/plus], Zhal's family[plus]the good gods[/plus], plus some more usual associations like blood. Blue is considered its opposite and is associated with lies, evil, lizards, and Ashkozen[plus]the evil god, a sort of satanic Enemy figure in Shorragite religion[/plus]. The ansu - of which the Shorragite...

Well, I love this illustration.
[strike]Kuma-Koban[/strike] is kind of a pain, because I haven't specifically worked on color terms. Here are some color terms, which are really kind of vague.

I love that illustration too, as well as the entire system of color allusions. :3
I'm not entirely sure how safir would perceive color as, since they are hexachromats — being able to perceive ultraviolet and two kinds of infrared light as well as red, green, and blue — a fair chunk of their color spectrum is unfathomable to the average human.
I do know, however, that their primary colors would be "far" (actually just a bit further than near; the Z type of cone cell that detects...
