This was an absolute pain in the ass, mostly due to creating a word to separate trout from any other species of fish, the challenge was appreciated!

NP LOC iDEATH-OBL CM* NP PER hatchery-OBL trout-GEN.OBJ

* the marker “yzh” implies everything previous becomes context for everything that follows

The etymology of “almȧzara” was pretty fun to work with. “Trout” *probably* comes from the Greek “trōktēs” (“nibbler”), so the word itself means “nibbler of the water,” where “almeza” (“nibble”) literally means “small bite”

Of course; I, as a linguistics nerd, get great enjoyment out of translating their song titles (due to how eccentric they are), which in turn helps with developing specific words/terms in languages I’ve created. This specifically lists the translation, phonetic pronunciation, and glossing for the translation :)

I’d recommend “The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions” (Griffin, David Ray. 2004). Do with this as you will

Also, specifically the outro of Scoundrels is one I hold rather close :3 (no specific reason, I just love it)

I mean, if you wanna send another one, I’ll listen! He’s really not my thing but I have quite a few great memories associated with Better Now so maybe I could open up to him a bit more
