Guzr 2049 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) || SPLUTTERTONGUE || ||PUKHLAAM|| “Their voices were as guttural as the chuntering of their machines. . .they were not mere orks. . .some say animii in orkish skin.” THE WORD “ORK” IN YELLER SCRIPT. CONTENTS: FOREWORD GRUNTGLYPHS & YELLER SCRIPT SYNTAX & GRAMMAR PHRASEBOOK MECHANIST PRAYERS DICTIONARY || FOREWORD || [THE RAGUK FIRELANDS] With what of the Old Tongue the Yellers of Clan Raguk had accrued, they stashed away within the recesses of their minds and verbalized through prayer. In time, the tongue itself came to mould to the Raguk way of life: to mimic the chuntering of machinery, the clangour of forges and the howl of frenzied of work. For these profound qualities, those from beyond the Raguk sphere have likened to calling it Spluttertongue. . . [SPLUTTERTONGUE, ALONG WITH THE YELLER SCRIPT, IS ONLY KNOWN FLUENTLY BY THE YELLERS AND ISOLATED INSTANCES. RAGUKS MAY USE A FEW ODD WORDS IN EVERY-DAY SPEECH BUT THAT IS THE EXTENT OF IT] || GRUNTGLYPHS & YELLER SCRIPT || GRUNTGLYPHS Not all are privileged enough, nor are destined, to learn the intricate logographic Yeller Script. To convey ideas through literacy, therefore, the Raguk grunt - throughout the decades of the Redskins isolation - has developed a simplified script of glyphs that represent the words of contemporary Blah and ideas exclusive to the Raguk way of life. . .READ MORE. YELLER SCRIPT Contrary to the simplified Gruntglyphs, Yeller Script is far more intricate in its nature as to display and convey more complex ideas. In accordance with its name, only the Yellers - or the most scholarly of Wargoths (if such a word could be used to describe the theological ‘debates’ the Yellers and more theologically astute Wargoths engage in) - have the chance to learn Yeller Script. It goes as follows. . .SEE MORE. [BE MINDFUL NOT TO METAGAME THIS INFORMATION]. || SYNTAX & GRAMMAR || In line with the general notion of efficacy amid the Raguk culture, the syntaxical structure of standard Old Blah was disregarded for a far more simplistic system of structure that is more akin to common: Subject, Verb, Object. Furthermore, Spluttertongue lacks gendered pronouns and articles; and has disregarded gender in some instances entirely, along with plural and singular forms of pronouns. __________________________________ PRONOUNS: I / Me - Izk You - Lat (pl. & sing.) Them - Lattak (pl. & sing.) We - Lattuk They - Lattok *Notice a lack of His/Her pronouns. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS: My / Mine - Îzk Your(s) - Lât Their(s) - Lâttak Our(s) - Lâttuk *Pronouns are inflected (the form of the word is changed) in order to denote possession. PLURALIZATION: To indicate more than one of something the following suffix is added to the end of the noun needing to be pluralized: -ûr. If the word has a vowel ending the following suffix is added: -hûr. ARTICLES: The - N/A A / An - Ash *Much like Old Blah, Spluttertongue lacks the article ‘the.’ Instead sentences would go as follows: “. . .Leyd, the Spirit of Power!” becomes “. . .Leyd, frûm ob durburz!” Similarly, there is no distinct word for ‘A’ or ‘An’ and so the number ‘Ash’ is used in lieu of these.

One of the most effective ways of worshipping the pantheon, so the Yellers say, is through sacrifice. Accompanying sacrifice must be words of common prayer, or else the ritual is incomplete: [THIS CAN BE USED, AND IS KNOWN, IN CHARACTER] __________________________________ LEYD’S CANTICLE __________________________________ “Lok Leyd!
