This can be gathered from various books and dialogue with NPCs, but it should be common knowledge to most Kran. As such, it needs to be proffered to new players in the Race Description page â which should itself be mirroring an introduction given when making a new kran character.
On that note, what's with the tiny little box of text when starting a character in the client? Sure, some other MMOGs have little boxes like that, but because often not much is put there and most players don't need or want to read it anyway (maybe they researched online or from a friend).
Also, what books do concern descriptions of kran only provide some pronoun cases. What about the others?
Please post here what you PlaneShifties have decided or learned or whatever.
Here are the pronoun forms which I've seen and those which I've invented (to fill gaps in my knowledge), for third-person & singular use, and with guidant parallels in modern english (only, sorry).
| subjective - | objective (directly or indirectly) |
| personal | kra, she, he - | kraĂ° (kradt), her, him |
| possessive, genitive | kras, her, his - | (same) |
| possessive, determiner | | krans, hers, his |
| reflexive, singular | | kraself, herself, himself |
| reflexive, plural | | kranselves, themselves |
(Please pardon any syntactical errors in the array there.)
Gemma- a kran who has given birth to a child kran, thus a title for elders;
also improperly used as a blanket courtesy title, much like âSirâ or âMadamâ
gemling- a young kran, especially the newly birthed (similar to ânewlingâ);
child â familiar or affectionate form
gemmorKran- may be used as a courtesy title generic to any kran
- The kran know the difference between a species and a people, but kran do not distinguish for kranselves. Other races will occasionally use the uppercase letters to capitalize âKranâ when making the distinction, but this is foreign to the kran; articular syntax will suffice.
Their noun does not have any numerative cases: one
kran, two
kran.
If someone would just give me an editor account for the wiki, I could include all this myself.
Any kran at least would've experienced these â unless they were orphaned and raised by parents who knew only the bare minimum about kranic necessities of survival.
Even then, as Kran-Lemur is the common vernacular of Yliakum (Ă la Westron), any native speaker probably knows these pronouns.
Same thing for the title âGemmaâ, probably, because it is used commonly also and especially in Hydlaa. As for âgemlingâ: if it was featured in a nursery tale then it probably is something kran (at least) would learn while growing.
Why do I think all this is important? I once had Demagul ask me for a courtesy title. I was new, just completed tutorial, and had rushed over to Jayose's. I knew that âgemmaâ was used for elder kran, but didn't know any other, so I let Demagul call me âkraâ â which was stupid, I now know.
