Something to resurrect from the Dinarchy: The Greater Antican Literary Dialect Lexicon:

The list wasn't very long when the Revolution took place, and some of them are dated, but I think that we can bring this back. At the very least for fun, and at the most to better reuniquify Antica.

Original examples:

• uniquify - v. - To make unique; to acquire, attain, or otherwise come upon uniqueness. [< uniqu(e) + -(i)fy (causitive verbalizing suffix)]
• genericize - v. - To make generic. [< generic + ize (verbalizing suffix)]
• ethicticity - n. - The authenticity of one's ethics (i.e. not a deception). [< ethic(s) + (authen)ticity]
• ish - adv. - somewhat. Also used as a phrase-ending particle to indicate unclear certainty in one's statement. [< -ish]
• carbon copyism - n. - The belief in conforming all physical characteristics and personality to a specific, popular model figure, usually with the goal of being or remaining (in the case of shifting model figures) within a clique.
• carbon copyist - n. - One who follows carbon copyism. (e.g. Guidos, Ganguro, etc)

Newly included could possibly be Malliki's coining of long away instead of far away, and long away off to show that something is even farther off.

In some of the old pieces of legislation, which I just happened to be perusing while researching whether I wanted to join Antica, guess what? Loads of these coinages appear. It's like Delphi must have been aspiring to be a rapper at some time.

Does anyone have any idea how to define " "? Is it untranslatable? Does it even have a meaning?

Interesting...although some of the above are used commonly in slang.



I know what you mean - student 'socialists' who alter their political ideals to more closely integrate.

is too powerful to have a definition. That's like trying to describe color to a blind man.
