Nekisahloth

Original: New D'ni Word

A few days ago I wrote RAWA an e-mail. Here's part of it:

-------------------------
The events of the Uru "Season Finale" answer most of the remaining questions about the Bahro War. But people talk about the "Good Bahro" and the "Bad/Evil Bahro", and that's not quite right. The "adversarial" Bahro are angry because of their 9600+ year enslavement, and are becoming violent to seek revenge---they're not "evil", just angry.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could give us the D'ni word(s) for "vengeful", "angry", or "violent"? I'd like to start referring to the 2 groups as the "Bahro Shoraht" & the "Bahro [Vengeful]", and maybe even find an appropriate D'ni term/name for their Leader that Yeesha spoke of (by adding "-th" to one of the words, perhaps?).
-------------------------

He responded by telling me what Dr. Watson heard Yeesha refer to them as while he was away from the Cavern :D

-------------------------
"nekisahl"

Transliteration: bah’ro ne-kis-ahl--the Bent Bahro
D'nifont: neKisal
Definition: adjective meaning "bent, twisted, or distorted"

"nekisahloth"

Transliteration: ne-kis-ahl-oth
D'nifont: neKisaloT
Definition: noun meaning "one who is bent, twisted, or distorted"
-------------------------

First off, yay for new D'ni words! :D

Second, as I said in my e-mail, calling them the "Evil Bahro" is a bit inaccurate & judgemental. So from here on out, I intend to refer to the 2 groups of Bahro by these D'ni terms:

"Bahro Shoraht"--"Peaceful Bahro"
"Bahro Nekisahl"--"Twisted Bahro"

And I think that "Nekisahloth" sounds like a good name for the leader of the violent Bahro that Yeesha spoke of. Join me in spreading the use of these terms :)
