Linguistics and Etymology
Glossary of Terms
- pletrok = n. fabulous equine beast with a long spiraled horn jutting from the middle of its forehead. It is often considered as a composite creature, having the features of various animals. The pletrok is depicted as a beautiful animal, usually pure white in color. It has been used to represent virginity, but also as a metaphor representing strength, chaste love and faithful marriage.
- sh'tla = n. blanket, cover.
Ancient Laudean
Ancient Laudean was lost for thousands of years, and only rediscovered recently by Professor Anson Robertson of the Federation Embassy. It consists of 10 numerical digits (0 through 9), and 26 alphabetic characters. Unlike "English", however, only 24 are traditional "letters" (missing the "c" and "x"), while two are actually consonant blends ("ch" and "sh"). As well, only four punctuation marks have been discovered so far.
