This page contains information regarding the language and forms used by the clan, as well as common expressions used by the members of the Poku Degonjo Saeruo (Hidden Sun Clan)
There are three forms of the language used by the Poku'vonai. But communications is not just about the words, but gestures and mannerisms can alter the meaning of some phrases.
These are some of the more common gestures or mannerisms used in conversation.
This is the colloquial way of speaking, for all normal day to day communications.
Formal Tongue is a more archaic form of their language. It would be the difference between modern English, and Old English. It is only used during rituals.
Is a shortened way of phrasing things for concise battle commands. It is not for normal conversation use.
Example:
| Ten-hut is an American military term that means, “Come to attention!” Wikipedia |
| Phrase | Meaning |
|---|---|
| I stand with teeth bared and arms wide. | I speak without deception. |
| Tē ōvū'te tăv-ē-gōē ōdnej'jō fōkăr pănăē nō. | pronunciation |
| Ti ovute tavigoi odnje'jo fokar panai no. | written |
| May the Eye of God Watch over you. | Common blessing. |
| esăī ēdă Sēămăkă fūāmīmū rē | pronunciation |
| Esay Ida Siamaka fuâmymu ri | written |
| The enemy of my enemy is worthy to fight with. | Proverb |
| Be well blooded, boast not beyond your deeds lest you shame your house and family. | Warning against unrestrained pride. |
The Poku'vonai language uses Phonogram, however for simplification English letters are used rather than creating a unique series for use on the web. There are 24 Phonemes in the language. See pronunciation table for proper sounds. The following letters are not used: c, x, z.
This is a partial dictionary of Poku'vonai, more will be added as needed. Beneath this are tables that group common items.
