== Neze, k'tesh, kevoth, keso, k'tsee == '''Author: K'laamas'''<br /> '''Posted: Sunday September 24, 2017'''<br /> ''Original: [https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=426783#p426783 New D'ni Words!]'' .shorah b'shemtee biv (: RAWA recently gave someone a D'ni translation for a tattoo, & he's letting me release the new words publicly :) It's a quote from the old Cyan Website: .reh-nezeh-tahn kehn-ehn k'tehsh-ij treh-lehnah-okh kehvo-th<br /> roob reh-gehl-tahn kehn-ehn reh-kehso-tahn tso dovah-tee "The reader is entertained by the journey of another,<br /> but the writer is the changer of worlds." Notes: 1- The word "k'tehsh" is interesting because of the apostrophe. It's not the same as " "kh' ", meaning "for"--it's " k' ", & it's just part of the word. Unusual, but it's something we've seen on occasion: "geh'dahn" (wisdom), "m'lah" (lizard), & "v'jah" (celebration). Some other words contain an apostrophe, & seem to be used to join 2 words together, but we don't know the rules for such use, & without knowing the exact etymology of "k'tehsh", we can't be certain on the meaning/purpose of the apostrophe. 2- RAWA said that "k'tehsh", meaning "entertain", is "meant to be reminiscent of" the word "k'tsee", meaning "happy" (Bonus Word!). 3- I'm not quite sure how to define/describe the base word "kehvo" in "kehvoth", but the "-th" suffix makes the word a person. 4- We already had the word "kehso" from the "Kenen Gor" note & the "Podium Speech", but never knew the correct translation until now. 5 New Words: 1- "{{dni-reftext|neze}}"--meaning "read" (verb).<br /> 2- "{{dni-reftext|k'tesh}}"--meaning "entertain" (verb).<br /> 3- "{{dni-reftext|kevoth}}"--meaning "another" (noun).<br /> 4- "{{dni-reftext|keso}}"--meaning "change" (verb).<br /> 5- "{{dni-reftext|k'tsee}}"--meaning "happy" (adjective). Bonus word! :) ^_^
