learn Miranei script - lesson 8

Here's the last of the Miranei script.

The 'z' sound is very rare in Miranei.

The first word, tjejath, is number 0, the first of the 8 Paths of Wisdom.

thrótragn (n.) thunder    is interesting. Because it's a compound word, literally thrót and ragn: night and horse. The 'tr' symbol is not used. The word is pronounced THRÓT ragn. So it's not a 'tr' sound in the middle. Night horses, yeah, thunder could sound like a herd of giant horses running through the sky.

lyl (n.) life force, one, person    is a word unique to Miranei. 

It's more sacred and respectful than, "Who is that person?" 

It's "Who is that life force?" Much more respectful.

Ok. That's it. 8 lessons. And how about that? There's that number 8 again. 

You should be able to write and read Miranei with a little practice.

I'll be publishing a free Miranei to English/ English to Miranei dictionary soon.

Oh, oh, and I'm going to start serializing Book Nine: Mars, just because science is catching up to some wacky theories I've had for years. It will look like I'm just using the latest science news, but I've had the idea that neutrinos move faster than light for at least two years when I first started writing Book Nine:Mars on a break between Book One: The Last Elf of Lanis and Book Two: The Archer From Kipleth.

Yeah, that's right, Iounelle, the last elf on planet earth lives over 164,000 years and is the star of the science fiction part of the series. Book Nine: Mars is set 300 years into our future as the red planet is being colonized by humanity. 

Although the book is based on science fiction, Iounelle continues to pursue the evil spirit Jofod Kagir and the humans it possesses.


So look for that, real soon. I may start a separate blog for Mars... or not.


Meanwhile, I'm working hard on Book Three: The Lord of Lightning. I've finished more than a quarter of the book. 


Book Four: Legends of Haergill and Conniker's Tail will be very easy to compile as it will include every short story written for the Wealdland Saga, plus two interesting and important novellas that will introduce the historical fiction part of the overall story arc, 


Mathematics and Magic 


which will be Book Five: Ancient Science; Book Six: Future Sorcery; Book Seven: Present Horizons; and Book Eight: A Cold Night in Oslo and Other Unverified Gossip (where Iounelle takes out Hitler!). 


And the last section The Planets, the science fiction part, will be Book Nine: Mars (which is almost already completed); Book Ten: Venus; Book Eleven: Mercury; and the whole magilla concludes in Book Twelve: The Sun and All Its Glory.


And you better believe Miranei is going to show up in all twelve books.




cheers,
