DA–

Etymology: Eretiǹgrai da, yes, indeed (particle)

da — Yes, indeed (comparative or emphatic particle, da).

dadili-dedili — An informal expression of agreement, like "okey-dokey" in English.

This particle is placed in front of a verb complex, adjective, or adverb, to denote the second degree of comparison of adjectives, adverbs, or adjectival or adverbial verb complexes; of agreement; or of emphasis. It's therefore called the comparative or emphatic particle.

Ancient Indo-European languages originally had singular, dual, and plural number for their nouns (one sword, two swords, three or more swords). In parallel with that, adjectives had three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative, as in good, better, best. In degenerate modern IE languages like English, which lost the dual number hundreds or thousands of years ago, the comparative is fading in favor of the superlative, so that we often hear something being called the best, rather than the better, even when only two things are compared.

Eretiǹgrai also had positive, comparative, and superlative. T́uliǹgrai, by design, has more degrees of comparison, agreement, and emphasis. These correspond not to the noun number in Mižinai (singular, dual, and plural), or number in Eretiǹgrai (singular and plural), but to the vowels in T́uliǹgrai (A, E, I, O, U, and Y).

The first degree of comparison of adjectives, adverbs, and verb complexes is called the neutral, and is unmarked, for example ruhol "good", ruhyr "well", or Nazuruhon "That was good". This is also the first degree of emphasis, that is, a simple statement with no emphasis whatsoever; and the first degree of agreement, the same as a simple "yes" in English, or answering a question like "Was that good?" by repeating the question as a statement, "That was good."

The second degree of comparison is marked by da, and is only slightly more comparative than the neutral degree. It's usually translated in English by the positive degree, by the verb "do", or by various adverbs, as "indeed", and only rarely by the comparative. For example da ruhol "good indeed" or "good!", sometimes "better"; da ruhyr "well (done) indeed" or "well done!"; Da nazuruhyn "That was well done (indeed)". This is also the second degree of emphasis or agreement, the same as saying "Yes" or "Yes, it was" or "Yes indeed", in English, in answer to the question "Was that good?"

DE–

Etymology: None. Added by language designers.

de — Yes, indeed (comparative or emphatic particle, de).

This particle is placed in front of a verb complex, adjective, or adverb, to denote the second degree of comparison of adjectives, adverbs, or adjectival or adverbial verb complexes; of agreement; or of emphasis. It's therefore called the comparative or emphatic particle.

The third degree of comparison is usually translated in English by the comparative form of an adjective or adverb, or by various adverbs as "indeed" or "more". For example, de ruhol "good indeed" or "better"; de ruhyr "well (done) indeed" or "more well (done)" or "better (done); De nazuruhon "That was better" or "That was pretty good". This is also the third degree of emphasis or agreement, the same as saying "Yes, it was indeed/absolutely/positively", in English, in answer to the question "Was that good?"

In general, all English comparative forms are equal, and all forms of agreement and emphasis, made different only by piling on modifying adverbs, or elaborate expressions. In T́uliǹgrai, de and di are approximately the comparative form of adjectives and adverbs. De denotes a degree of emphasis or agreement which is greater than da, but less than di. It's the translation of these finer shades of meaning into English which is difficult, not their use in T́uliǹgrai.

For example, di ruhol "very good" or "really good"; di ruhyr "very well (done)" or "unusually well (done)"; Di nazuruhon "That was much better" or "That was really very good". This is also the fourth degree of emphasis or agreement, the same as saying "You bet!" or "Count on it!", in English, in answer to the question "Was that good?"

DY–

Etymology: None. Added by language designers.

dy — Yes, indeed (comparative or emphatic particle, dy).

This particle is placed in front of a verb complex, adjective, or adverb, to denote the second degree of comparison of adjectives, adverbs, or adjectival or adverbial verb complexes; of agreement; or of emphasis. It's therefore called the comparative or emphatic particle.

The seventh degree of comparison is usually translated in English by an extreme, even obscene, superlative form of an adjective or adverb.

These included "elves", called Tlannaii in Loraonai languages The "elves" lived under hills, and interacted with other supernatural races, such as "goblins" and "trolls". In one city, they shared their hill with the Owls.

(2) In the First History, the sentient race that evolved on Taol Vrydda between its creation, and its settlement by the Mižinē, were also called Tlâń. Kantos means "Elfland" in the original Mižinē, so it was perhaps inevitable that these aliens, who lived on that continent, and mostly underground, should be named that. These Tlâń were blue-skinned, rubbery-fleshed, boneless humanoids with whiplike arms and legs, hands with two fingers and a thumb, feet with two strong toes facing forward and one facing back. Short horns projected from the head, a fleshy masklike structure surrounded the eyes, and short sensory tentacles writhed between the nose and mouth. Clothes were a kilt, arm bands, leg bands, and for the nobility, a cloth hanging over the back of the neck with its ends dangling down the chest, their equivalent of a crown. All clothing was highly embroidered in geometic patterns.

The First-History Tlâń had evolved beyond the need to eat the flesh of other living things, absorbing energy from radiant sources, like the Verē. They developed their own high technology, completely independently of the Verē, based on power rings inhabited by "ring souls". Attacked by the Verē on four separate occasions, they defended their continent successfully the first three times. On the fourth occasion, the Verē saturated the continent with high-altitude nuclear bursts, which killed rings by EMP, forcing the Tlâń King and nobility to sue for peace.

(3) In the Second History, the Tlâń described above did not evolve, and the Mižinē lived in flying cities that followed fixed orbits over Kantos. When the Star burst, the mutant form of human being that resulted was similar, but not the same as the Verē.

After the Redemption of the World, First-History Tlâń began being released by Anûk. Some chose to become Iǹgrē; others settled worlds where they could live First-History Tlâń lives in First-History Tlâń bodies. Others did that, but in Iǹgrē bodies. Other groups developed their own colonies, under a wide variety of rules (animate noun, ētlâńai).
