(Wow! Ok first journal, hadn't realized that.)

I sometimes get these moments of inspiration while either off sitting down waiting for something or taking a shower. Or at any time I have a chance to let my mind wander. At first it was just a few words that started coming to mind. Next thing I know it, I'm rushing to the computer to write things down before I forget anything that I just came up with. Then, it just started taking on a life of its own for a few moments.

I've been meaning to get around to writing what I would call a 'Five year report on the Falarins'. The Falarins being race of various anthros that have been working with my Online self/character's organization, for the past five years (of course). I hadn't bothered till recently to being piecing things together about who or what they are.

Below is a small selection vocabulary and a rudimentary translation of the words. I'm no where close to being a linguist, so I tried to make do with what I know. Why here? Well I'm posting in a few places to get some thoughts, maybe to see if anyone has experiences in this sort of thing. Who knows. I figured since the Falarins were raised for a time by the ancient race that created them, they had to adapt a lot of the sounds of the words to make it easier for them to speak. I don't know if I'll expand on this further yet or not.

(the sun was natural source of light)

Center - Rii
House/shelter - Rus'Sa-Rai (outside+protection+from)

Protection - Sa
Inside - R'was
From - Haii
To - Rauf
Land - Um`pt
Water - Oo'ss
