Please comment on this page with your suggestions. Entries are due November 16th at 12:00 PM PST \/ 8:00 PM GMT. Happy naming!\n\nWool-Yielding Animal\nA domesticated animal bred for its fur, which is used in textiles. The cloth it produces is soft, smooth, durable, and takes well to colors; like a cross between vicun\u00f1a and silk. Native to rocky, high-altitude biomes, its unusual hooves are well-suited to navigate among craggy terrain. The Xi\u2019an have effectively propagated this species throughout their entire empire.\n\nApex Predator\nAn apex predator. Native to Xi (Rihlah V), this species is an arboreal animal that can glide from tree to tree in pursuit of its prey. It generally feeds on other arboreal creatures, but has been known to go after land-dwelling creatures if they\u2019re the right size. It mainly preys upon vegetarian animals, but it\u2019s been known to defend its territory from other predators when threatened. Heavily endangered on its native world, but has a stable population on the preserve world Koli (Eealus III).\n\nA Popular Pet\nA common pet. It domesticated itself as the Xi\u2019an developed farming, helping itself to the plagues of pests that would break into fermentation houses and make off with valuable food. It loves swimming and water, as its ancestors used to live in the streams and lakes that supported early Xi\u2019an villages. Consequently, Xi\u2019an find beavers and otters to be the most adorable Earth animals. It comes in many different coat patterns, but unkuth (a series of yellows; pictured here) is preferred.\n\nRules:\nNames must follow Proper Xi\u2019an phonology. All non-native combinations of sounds will be rejected. See the 2nd Chapter in the video series for reminders.\n\nIt is fine to use \u201csound symbolism\u201d that is evocative of the creatures\u2019 physical presence or to name them referencing sounds you imagine they make, etc., but these resulting names must conform to the phonological rules of the language.\n\nIf you need to use \u201croot syllables\u201d that are not currently listed in the dictionary (new tai), please explain that you want to invent the new tai as a part of the name. As a theoretical example: if you want a tai for \u201chair; fur\u201d and you can\u2019t find one in the dictionary, you can propose that it be created and added because you need it to create a descriptive name. (As an example, North American raccoons are called \u201cwashing bears\u201d (\u30a2\u30e9\u30a4\u30b0\u30de (\u6d17\u718a) in Japanese because of their behavior when eating.)\n\nHint: the Xi\u2019an would likely have shorter names (one to two syllables) for more common animals that are more familiar to them in their daily lives or cultural experience.\n\nYou are naming the species (type of animal) as the Xi\u2019an would commonly know and call it. You are not giving it a personal (pet) name for this exercise.\n\nThe names will be evaluated based on how well they fit into the Xi\u2019an linguistic aesthetic and how creatively they evoke the animals based on appearance, description, and imagined behavior. Bonus points will be given for additional information provided about how the name was conceived and how it might be used in idioms, etc. in Xi\u2019an cultural contexts. The more concrete your examples, the better. You should also feel free to include the Human name for the animal. This could be an alternate spelling of the Xi\u2019an filtered through human phonology or entirely unrelated to the Xi\u2019an conceptualization of the species name.","de_DE":"AB 12:00 UHR PST \/ 20:00 UHR GMT 16. NOVEMBER 2017 AKZEPTIEREN WIR KEINE EINTR\u00c4GE MEHR. VIELEN DANK F\u00dcR IHRE TEILNAHME!\nAuf der CitizenCon 2947 haben wir eines der fr\u00fchen Stretchziele von Star Citizen erreicht und die Xi'an-Sprache vorgestellt. Wir k\u00f6nnten nicht mehr begeistert sein von der herzlichen Aufnahme, die sie erhalten hat. Unsere Xenolinguistin Britton Watkins hat die Sprache seit ihrem Deb\u00fct weiterentwickelt. Viele Mitglieder der Gemeinschaft haben bereits zur Entwicklung der Sprache beigetragen, indem sie Ideen \u00fcber die Xi'an-Kultur und W\u00f6rter, die dem W\u00f6rterbuch hinzugef\u00fcgt werden sollen, vorgeschlagen haben. Wir haben bereits 98 weitere W\u00f6rter hinzugef\u00fcgt!\n\nBritton und das Lore Team m\u00f6chten Sie einladen, uns zu helfen, diese drei Xi'an Tiere zu benennen, die k\u00fcrzlich vom Art Team entworfen wurden. Wir haben Beschreibungen der folgenden Tiere bereitgestellt, um Ihnen bei der Namensgebung zu helfen. Die Gewinner des Wettbewerbs haben die Namen der Tiere, die im n\u00e4chsten Xi'an Sprachunterricht Video (Kapitel 4) gezeigt werden.\n\nDie Regeln findest du unter den Beschreibungen. Bitte kommentieren Sie auf dieser Seite mit Ihren Vorschl\u00e4gen. Die Anmeldungen sind bis zum 16. November um 12:00 Uhr PST \/ 20:00 Uhr GMT f\u00e4llig. Frohe Namensgebung!\n\nWollhaltiges Tier\nEin domestiziertes Tier, das f\u00fcr sein Fell gez\u00fcchtet wird, das in Textilien verwendet wird. Das Gewebe, das es produziert, ist weich, glatt, langlebig und nimmt Farben gut auf; wie eine Mischung aus Vicun\u00f1a und Seide. Die ungew\u00f6hnlichen Hufe, die in felsigen, hochgelegenen Biotopen beheimatet sind, eignen sich gut f\u00fcr die Navigation in zerkl\u00fcftetem Gel\u00e4nde. Die Xi'an haben diese Art in ihrem gesamten Reich effektiv verbreitet.\n\nApex-Raubtier\nEin Spitzenpr\u00e4dator. Diese in Xi (Rihlah V) heimische Art ist ein Baumtier, das auf der Jagd nach seiner Beute von Baum zu Baum gleiten kann. Er ern\u00e4hrt sich im Allgemeinen von anderen Baumbewohnern, ist aber daf\u00fcr bekannt, dass er sich an Landbewohner richtet, wenn sie die richtige Gr\u00f6\u00dfe haben. Er ern\u00e4hrt sich haupts\u00e4chlich von vegetarischen Tieren, aber es ist bekannt, dass er sein Territorium vor anderen Raubtieren verteidigt, wenn er bedroht wird. Stark gef\u00e4hrdet in seiner Heimatwelt, hat aber eine stabile Bev\u00f6lkerung in der Reservatswelt Koli (Eealus III).\n\nEin beliebtes Haustier\nEin gew\u00f6hnliches Haustier. Sie domestizierte sich als die Xi'an entwickelte Landwirtschaft und bediente sich der Sch\u00e4dlingsplage, die in G\u00e4rh\u00e4user eindrang und sich mit wertvollen Lebensmitteln davonmachte. Sie liebt Schwimmen und Wasser, da ihre Vorfahren in den B\u00e4chen und Seen lebten, die die fr\u00fchen Xi'an-D\u00f6rfer unterst\u00fctzten. Folglich finden Xi'an Biber und Otter die bezauberndsten Erdtiere. Es gibt sie in vielen verschiedenen Fellmustern, aber Undeutlichkeit (eine Reihe von Gelbt\u00f6nen; hier abgebildet) wird bevorzugt.\n\nRegeln:\nDie Namen m\u00fcssen der korrekten Xi'an-Phonologie folgen. Alle nicht-nativen Kombinationen von Sounds werden abgelehnt. Siehe das zweite Kapitel in der Video-Serie f\u00fcr Erinnerungen. Es ist in Ordnung, \"Klangsymbolik\" zu verwenden, die an die physische Pr\u00e4senz der Kreaturen erinnert, oder sie mit Bezug auf Ger\u00e4usche zu benennen, die man sich vorstellt, dass sie machen, usw., aber diese resultierenden Namen m\u00fcssen den phonologischen Regeln der Sprache entsprechen. Wenn Sie \"Root Silben\" verwenden m\u00fcssen, die derzeit nicht im Dictionary aufgef\u00fchrt sind (neues Tai), erkl\u00e4ren Sie bitte, dass Sie das neue Tai als Teil des Namens erfinden wollen. Als theoretisches Beispiel: Wenn Sie ein Tai f\u00fcr \"Haare; Fell\" wollen und kein Tai im W\u00f6rterbuch finden k\u00f6nnen, k\u00f6nnen Sie vorschlagen, dass es erstellt und hinzugef\u00fcgt wird, weil Sie es ben\u00f6tigen, um einen beschreibenden Namen zu erstellen. (Als Beispiel werden nordamerikanische Waschb\u00e4ren wegen ihres Verhaltens beim Essen \"B\u00e4ren waschen\" genannt (\u30a2\u30e9\u30a4\u30b0\u30de (\u6d17\u718a) auf Japanisch.) Hinweis: Die Xi'an h\u00e4tten wahrscheinlich k\u00fcrzere Namen (ein bis zwei Silben) f\u00fcr h\u00e4ufigere Tiere, die ihnen aus ihrem t\u00e4glichen Leben oder ihrer kulturellen Erfahrung bekannter sind. Sie nennen die Art (Tierart), wie sie die Xi'an kennen und nennen w\u00fcrden. Du gibst ihr keinen pers\u00f6nlichen (Haustier-)Namen f\u00fcr diese \u00dcbung. Die Namen werden danach bewertet, wie gut sie in die Xi'an-Sprach\u00e4sthetik passen und wie kreativ sie die Tiere aufgrund von Aussehen, Beschreibung und vorgestelltem Verhalten hervorrufen. Bonuspunkte werden f\u00fcr zus\u00e4tzliche Informationen dar\u00fcber vergeben, wie der Name konzipiert wurde und wie er in Idiomen usw. in Xi'an kulturellen Kontexten verwendet werden kann. Je konkreter Ihre Beispiele, desto besser. Du solltest dich auch frei f\u00fchlen, den menschlichen Namen f\u00fcr das Tier anzugeben. Dies k\u00f6nnte eine alternative Schreibweise des Xi'an sein, die durch die menschliche Phonologie gefiltert wurde oder v\u00f6llig unabh\u00e4ngig von der Xi'an-Konzeptualisierung des Artennamens.","zh_CN":"AS OF 12:00 PM PST \/ 8:00 PM GMT NOVEMBER 16, 2017 WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ENTRIES.
