nope... sorry... the word for language in narethaal is "ponatova" from 'po' which means 'song' and 'natova' which means 'words' so basically a 'song of words'... 'nareth' however means chaotic... and the '-aal' ending was just something i randomly added on to make it (imho) look better... actually 'naretha' would mean 'people who are chaotic'... so maybe i should change it to narethanal... with 'narethan' meaning person who is chaotic (referring to myself of course)... but the '-al' would still be a random ending... daniel andreasson froge sionk:

nope again... narethanal (maybe narethanaal... i've got a thing for that double 'a') is utterly devoid of concultureness... ===== fuzzy blue monkeys-shmuli atae muhnkia-jiqek qelek nimmekel-Luddiga blå apor-flauschige blaue Affen-tódifai kówainG MANgKIWi-mêndos êzoros faffalos-khami zhaftami nuri xhan-jasánni júñi jakihéññi-Moncaithe gorma clúmhacha-Monhyey ngonul hweyaru ryehyumeru-muncaidhean gorma molach-jhachtaraadkimyo-monos peludos azules-pushistye sinie obez'iany-zçínesfersaup sülíraup böfparaup-k&#281;dzierzawe niebieskie ma&#322;py-cirmos ke'k majmok-fuzzi serule mini-primate-Hlässöbonakkäa Jonäjë-pluizige blauwe aapjes-menomeno yanubi wayanoso-monkátí kosipi eyoh ...nicole __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
