Ok, I’ll adjust the FAQ accordingly in both cases. Thanks for the update!

Comment on A Revised Otherkin FAQ by Arethinn

Feywood is very likely defunct and I’d recommend removing it from a FAQ which goes to some effort to describe currently live resources. (My current thought on it was that it was an experiment that didn’t really pan out.)

MythiCalia is at the very least on indefinite hiatus. It’s probably worth leaving in as I would like for interested parties to be able to find it (if people exist, it would be un-hiatused), but with a disclaimer to that effect.

Comment on An Aloryan Glossary by Liryen

“Sadly, it’s really hard to tell without a far more complete picture of the language. They could be words meaning the same thing from different languages, or they could be synonyms within the same language. And even within a single language they could have etymological origins in different languages.”

– I think that this is probably very likely.

Incidentally, the first word that struck a chord in me on the Elenari language list was Clarash (where it was listed as “Aloryen”, IIRC). Unfortunately, even with a longer list of words used in Alorya, I can’t be completely sure that I spoke (and was presumably) Aloryan.

But for what it’s worth, a few years ago I did seem to remember one phrase of language. It was “Ha Da”, a sort of command or exclamation that felt akin to “stop, shut up.” Long A sounds, with the d in “Da” slightly softer than the English pronunciation.

It may not have been anything. And I don’t know that I’m Aloryan myself (though I’m beginning to suspect it). But it’s an interesting wordlist. Extremely interesting.

Comment on Field Guide to Otherkin: Survey Responses by Jarandhel Dreamsinger

Heh, for me this wasn’t a new response.. it’s the one I sent her in 2005, I just decided to make it public now rather than keeping it in a friends-locked journal entry on LJ. But replying to it doesn’t make you a derp… she’s probably hanging onto them in case she ever writes an updated second edition or a further book on the subject. It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s still getting quite a few.

Good to see that someone else replied to the survey… now I don’t feel like such a derp. I wonder what Lupa is doing with these new responses…

Thanks. I tried to put it down in words as close to the way it came to me as possible.

Comment on Awakening (Dragon) by Liryen

My subconscious could be deceiving me because of Eragon, but I had a dream a year or two ago where I was riding a blue dragon, as part of a job as like a mediator or a counselor or something like that. Now I wonder if I was remembering…

Great post.

Came across an old wordlist with a few we were missing, mostly place names and words derived from compound words. Decided to add them for the sake of completeness.

*nods* I have a tendency to see patterns, so similar words with similar meanings kind of jump out at me. Same with words that look like they might form a spectrum of ideas around certain core concepts. Or words that share structural elements (prefix, suffix, roots, etc).
