Agirowen to English Dictionary

Made by Distrar Subcat

Notation: semicolons separate distinct meanings, parentheses clarify specifics of a continued meaning, words with periods in them are being spaced out for easy readability. Meanings are listed roughly in the order of most common usage to least common usage.

A note about dictionary section headers (and other formatting standards): Ya know how English dictionaries use the first letter of a set of words as a header for that section? Well Agirowen does that too, but it does it a bit differently that you might be used to (just like pretty much anything else), and that is an integral part of the lore of my story world, so I'm keeping with it. I'm sure it will be interesting to see. The biggest differences are that the header is a syllable (since the runic script is a syllabary) and that the “alphabetical order” is different.

Agirowen's “ABCs”: Garm Ten Ran Kan Vorn Darm Barm Sub Norm Mer Yan Wan Lar

Update/Edit notes: The newest version of this dictionary omits most of the nasals that some dialects of Agirowen automatically add to syllables/words ending in r since it has now been established that this feature of the language varies based on dialect (plus it makes the English/Romanization version a lot easier to read overall.)

Also, now every word (based on a stem that is listed with all its word role suffix variants) is on a separate page of its own. This is mainly because it makes the organization more regular and makes it easier to sort out and sort through. It will be much easier to read if you keep this in mind. You'll see what I mean when you read this dictionary.

One last thing to keep in mind while reading it: If you encounter, for example, the word for “strong” and are wondering where the word for “weak” is, or the word for “generosity” and wonder where the word for “greed” is, then temporarily scroll down to/flip to the appendix, since those words come right before the appendix. Due to the unique thematic nature of those words, such words will be placed after all the positive words, which makes them not in pattern with the alphabetical order that is otherwise present, but that's kind of fitting for that type of negative words as such. The generic words for “bad”, “evil”, and “corrupted” are within the the alphabetical list, but that's mainly because they don't perfectly fit the pattern that other negative words do. Anyways, the negative words are near the end, right before the appendices, being somewhat like an appendix listing but still part of the main dictionary. This is mainly because in Chinereyan culture the negative words are more like after-thoughts than main thoughts, in that they would rather talk about what is positive traits something has instead of what it lacks.

Garm

Gar.gen ten: Physical Strength

Gar.gen ran: A feeling of being physically strong

Gar.gen lar: A person who is strong in the body ; a jock ; an athlete

Gar.gen ren: To push or move something physically ; to exert impressive physical strength

Gar.gen ron: Physically strong ; arrogant or flashy about one's physical strength

Gar.gen laren: to flex or show off one's physical strength ; to compete athletically

Gar.gen renlar: a currently competing athlete ; a person whose reputation seems to imply that their only purpose in life is to show off physical strength (especially for arrogant reasons)

Gar.gen bin: Lift! ; Push!

Gar.gen.dor ren: To keep perspective on one's strength ; to show good sportsmanship as a caring winner rather than a sore winner.

Gargen: Proper Noun, this one is a “Gender” Pronoun used to stand in for gendered pronouns when speaking in Agirowen or to someone who grew up in Chinereya, and as such does not understand the human concept of gender. (Or me, since Chinereya's confusion is based on my confusion, as horrifying as that might sound in general). This is the preferred pronoun for those whose identify as Gargentens, either the species of creature or literal jocks.

(Note: For training strength rather than showing it off, see Gar.nak- )

Gargon ten: Sport Participation

Gargon lar: A sport ; A sport-like activity

Gargon ren: To play a sport

Gargon renlar: A sport's player (especially when talking about one that is currently participating their sport, on the field, in order to distinguish them from other kinds of people like the referee who are on the field normally but don't play the sport themselves)

(Note: Be careful, especially when saying this word aloud, to distinguish it from saying Gargen- instead, if it matters for the situation. Gargen- is a much more common word, and much more important culturally, so using this less majorly popular word can be a tad tricky and should be done with mindful caution. That said, the two words have very similar denotations, just very different connotations, so it's not always a serious error, just something to be aware of. If you don't worry about it, the one you are talking to won't either. The difference between them when there is a clear differentiation made between them is that Gargonlar implies humility and Gargenlar implies arrogance, but it's rarely treated as a stark difference.)

Garges ten: Emotive force

Garges ren: To try to make someone feel a certain way ; to toy with or manipulate someone's emotions in order to get a certain response from them (especially for business purposes)

(Note: There are many similar words that start with Ga- , and especially Gar- , but the S in Garges- makes it particularly easy to emphasis how it's different from similar sounding words.)

Gargeston ten: Emotion (as a general concept/essence)

Gargeston lar: An emotion

Gargeston ren: To feel (emotionally)

Gargeston ron: Sentimental ; Having more to do with emotional considerations than logical or moral ones

(Related phrase: “Gargestonren vorgendaron verm?” = “How are you doing today?”, literally “Feeling good which/what ?” )

(Note: This word is very similar to the one for emotive force, but the addition of -ton- in this word species a natural flow of emotional energy, in contrast to Garges- relating to causing an unnatural flow of emotional energy.)

Gargeslit ten: Physical sensation

Gargeslit lar: A physical sensation ; one of the senses, such as sight or touch, that allow one to gather sensory input from ones surroundings in order to learn about them

Gargeslit ren: To touch or physically feel something ; to physically sense something with one of the basic senses, such as sight or touch

Gargeslit ron: Capable of feeling or sensing (either in general or in regards to a particular object or sensation) ; Able to use a specified basic sense, such as sight or touch

Garlit ten: Kinestetic Awareness

Gar.ton ron: 2nd person possesive adjective (your/yours)

Gar.ton laren: to focus on others rather than oneself in a conversation or group activity

Gar.ton renlarm: a greeter ; a stationary scout

Gar.ton bin: Pay attention!

Gar.ton.dor ren: To analyze one's relationship problems introspectively

Gar.nak ten: Physical Training

Gar.nak ran: A sense of improvement or accomplishment in one's physical training

Gar.nak lar: An exercise ; an incrimentation or noticiable increase in physical strength

Gar.nak ren: To exercise ; to physically train

Gar.nak ron: Physicall stronger than before ; obviously improved by exercise

Gar.nak laren: To attempt an exercise program

(Related: Dargendor ron Gar.nak laren: To persistently attempt an exercise program → To follow an exercise program)

Gar.nak renlar: A personal trainer ; someone who is currently exercising

Gar.nak bin: One More Rep! ; Feel the Burn! (figuratively)

Gar.nak.dor ren: To sympathize with and console someone whose physical training is not helping them or is making them feel ill.

Gar.nar lar: Thing/Thingie ; This/That (as a direct object pronoun, but native Agirowen speakers rarely use direct object pronouns, instead using implicit reference to previously mentioned objects)

(Questions containing “... garnarlar verm ...” are fill-in-the-blank type questions. For example, saying “Gartonlar gantonren garnarlar verm” means something like “You are a what?”)

Gar.nar ron: This/That (demonstrative adjective, implies that the object being referred to is present in the same area as the speaker and is close enough to the speaker to be clearly visible and distinguishable as a particular object by the speaker, whether or not the speaker can identify that particular object in distinguishing it from other, clearly distinct, objects)

Gar.nar yun: This place (Here) ; That place (There)

(In most contexts, it just by default means “Here” or “In this place”, even if “this place” is a chat room or a web page rather than a town, building, or room. You can also ask “where?” type questions with it, like how “seyVoklar gantonren garnaryun verm” means “We are where?”)

Gar.nar sey: Some (generic amount, usually medium amount)

(For a totally ambiguous or truly unknown quantity, use sey by itself, unless you are asking “how much?” with “Garnarsey verm”, like how “Garnarsey-butrutlar verm” means “How many canines are there?”)

(Final note: “garnar-... verm” type questions don't have to be at the end of the sentence. Instead, the “garnar-... verm” part appears wherever in the sentence there would be info that needs to be supplied by someone else, essentially a “fill in the blank” type blank and hint as to what type of word goes there, just as a normal question rather than a puzzle. The word role suffix of garnar- acts as the part of speech hint in such a question.)

Gar.nir ten: Obedience

Gar.nir ran: A feeling of servitude ; A sense that you owe someone action on their behalf

Gar.nir lar: A contract of servitude ; an obedient or enthusiastic follower

Gar.nir ren: To obey ; to follow someone else's plan ; to insist on acting as a follower rather than a leader.

Gar.nir.dor ren: To rebel against a tyrant

Ganton ten: Existence (especially the elemental nature of existence itself, especially as a philosophical concept)

Ganton lar: An existence (as a concrete object) ; A state of being (as a general object)

Ganton ren: To be (Am, Is, Are) ; To exist

Ganton ron: Present in the same area/room as the speaker

Gantondor ron: Non-existent ; Theorectical

Gantondor lar: Nothing ; Void (as an abstract concept rather than a physical empty space)

(Note: The Ganton- words related to existence can easily be confused with the Garton- words for second person pronouns. The way to tell them apart is that the pronouns contain R in the stem and the existence words don't. You might want to come up with your own mnemonic for that one if you continually get confused by it.)

Giygan.nak ten: Exaggeration ; Grandiosity, Decadence, or Splendor

Giygan.nak lar: A giant ; An exaggeration

Giygan.nak ren: To exaggerate (especially, exaggerate the size of something) ; To bedazzle someone with the illusion that something is larger or grander than it is

Giygan.nak ron: Abnormally or unexpectedly large ; exaggerated to seem gigantic even if it isn't ;

Giygan.nak bin: Woah, it's gigantic! ; Woah, he's huge! (strangely enough, I never hear that phrase used for a lady. In any event, Agirowen is genderless as far as the human gender system is concerned, so it shouldn't matter what you substitute in for that pronoun, it is still a correct translation, even if you wouldn't have a use for such a word with a giant of a non-masculine gender.)

(Does not apply to anyone else shining a light or generating light or heat. Those have their own words unrelated to this one) ; To act in a normal or predictable manner

Torgon ron: Clear ; Normal ; In default/natural state ; Sunny

Torgon laren: Sunrise ; the clearing of the sky that follows a storm (especially when the sun starts peeking out of the hole in suddenly receding storm clouds following an epic battle against the forces of darkness)

Torgon/Torron: (Proper noun) The Sun, which to Earth people refers the star Sol, but to Chinereyans, who have no native star (their planet is lit from the inside by elemental stars of each Untidin Attribute), it usually refers to the red sun of Krypton, which they think of as “the multi-elemental energy draining planet” and said red sun is a symbol of a greatly feared power of energy draining nullification. Saying “Oh Torron!” or “By the red sun Torron!” are popular swears/cuss phrases, especially among those who want to seem edgy.

(Note: Torgonlaren gantonren vorgendaron, which literally means "Sunrise is good", is often used figuratively to mean “Good morning”, though at least in Chinereya/natively, using the emotion-based greeting words like “Yanyarbin” (“Hello!”, happy) or Waskarbin (“Hello!”, sad) is much more common.)

Timton ren: To exert force on something, to push or pull it

Timton ron: Powerful ; Forceful ; Intense

Timtoner: (proper noun) A concept entity that conveys a force of nature. (this is one of those concepts that started out as a religious concept in my home village's belief systems but got adapted for magical purposes in stories I write. Hence it's not really an Agirowen word, just a word more likely to show up alongside other Agirowen words since it's a word in the mini language that Agirowen is based on)

Tiybik ten: Startlement

(Note: Due to the nature of this word as often relating to informal affairs, the -lar form can be validly used in place of -ran for the abstract object, such that Ragavlar could mean a signature giving consent or the consent itself, whether it is a binding kind of consent or not.)

(Note 2: In case anyone asks, this word is not being put in to placate any group, but rather simply because it is a word that exists in some form in both English and Agirowen, and for that matter the author of this dictionary feels that it is an important topic to be able to discuss regardless of one's feelings or lack thereof about the topic's usage.)

Vorgendarm: (Proper noun) Good Creature ; Critter (this is actually the generic term used to refer to a creature or a person. It is respectful in a generic way.)

Vanar: Of ; upon ; inside of ; within (This is the Agirowen version of the Argon word "arar", and is used as a conjuction and a preposition at the same time. It is most formally translated as "within the context of" or “within the scope of”. Basically, it is a conjunction that implies that the objects or activities in the clause that are before it/to the left of it, belong in some way to the objects or context events that come after it. For example, "Barlar vanar bersonlar" in Agirowen, or "Barmar arar personar" in Argon, means "the Bear of the person" or more specifically "the Bear belonging to the person". This usage of vanar/arar is quite familiar to anyone who uses Spanish, Italian, or similar languages, with prepositions like "de" or "di" serving similar purposes in such statements. However, vanar/arar can also be used for things like, for example, "Kestanbin litonren vanar gartonlar gantonren waskaron", which is literally translated as "Not [I] understand within-the-context-of you are sad", but really means "I do not understand that you are sad", but the use of vanar here specifies that while the listen is sad, or rather within the situational context of the listener being sad, the speaker does not understand something about the situation in general, even if the speaker understands the listener's sadness. If instead it is specifically that the speaker does not understand the listener's sadness, perhaps thinking that they understand everything else about the situation but finding the listener's sadness out of place anyways, they would say “Kestanbin litonren gartonron waskaron”, which literally means “Not [I] understand your sadness”.)

Vanaron = Belonging to (This is a variant of Vanar that is used only for possession, and is used either when using Vanar instead would change the meaning of the sentence or when someone really wants to use a possessive pronoun but can't use one since the object in question has no gender. Needless to say, the grammar of these two uses is slightly different, but it should be obvious how. If it's not obvious, feel free to contact the writer of this dictionary about it, but I doubt it.)

Vondan: With ; Alongside (Yet another conjunction that, among other things, can be used as a substitute for Vanar, in this case either to clarify an ambiguity or to make the sentence more readable that if all instances of Vanar's function used Vanar. That said, this conjunction does have a somewhat different meaning, just not usually a vastly different one. Where it matters is when differentiating between two events happening in the same area/scope, or happening in parallel in different areas/scopes, when either is a possible interpretation of the sentence.)

Von: And (Used in numeric expressions, like “Narsey von Dansey Butrutlar” for saying “1 plus 5 Dogs” (which will actually be interpreted by a Chinereyan speaker of Agirowen as meaning “6 Dogs”, since that's just how their number system works and they are accustomed to it), and also in lists, like “Generen Butrutlar von Kitritlar von Gustinrenlar”, which means “[We] Have a Dog and a Cat and a Bird”.)

Vonren: Plus, literally “To Add” or “To And” (For more mathematical or logical uses of “And” than Von covers.)

Vok ten: Inwardness ; Introspection

Vok lar: (1st person subject/object pronoun) I/Me ; self-analysis ; the inner space of something

Vok ren: To analyze oneself carefully or critically ; to go inside something

Vok ron: (1st person possessive pronoun) Mine ; Inside ; introspective

Voy.yik ten: Heart Strength

Voy.yik lar: A person who is mainly (or only) strong in the heart ; a floasty artist or lofty philosopher who takes pride in their unique way of caring for the world

Voy.yik ren: To shine forth the strength of one's heart ; to do something using only the strength of ones heart ; to do daily activities with virtue magic even when this clearly is no needed nor significantly better

Voy.yik ron: Heartfelt ; spiritual ; related to properties or activities unique to virtue magic ; Possesive Adjective related to the pronoun Voyik

Voy.yik laren: To use virtue magic for everything ; to judge every situation with intuitive morality, without regard for logical calculation for physical logistics

Voy.yik renlar: A virtue mage ; a person whose only job is as an artist or philosopher

Voy.yik: Proper Noun, this one is another “Gender” Pronoun, this time for Binding Batteries, as well as for artists or philosophers who feel that their main (or only) strength is in their beautiful heart.

Dar.gen ron: Slow and steady

Dar.gen.dor ten: Persistence

Dar.gen.dor ren: To persist in attempting something ; to repeat ; to iterate in a cyclical manner

Dargendorn: (Proper Noun) Name that means “Persistence” that several famous warriors have. (The most notable example in my stories about Chinereya is Dargendorn Kunser, whose full name means “Persistence Self-Sacrifice”, though Kunser really means “helping others at some noticeable cost to oneself, regardless of whether or not one considers that cost significant”, and is the guild name for Binding Batteries and the Gargentens that work most closely with them in their mission to heal the world with magical self-sacrifice. Dargendorn Kunser is the Gargenten of Persistence.)

Dar.gen.tor.gen ten: Strictness ; Law Enforcement

Dar.gen.tor.gen lar: A drill sergeant ; a police officer ; a law-enforcement soldier or scout

Dan.gon yun: Hatching grounds/Child birth clinic ; Daycare/Preschool (essentially, place where most or all of the expected residents are newborns, babies, or small children)

Related special words:

-dangonyon: Innocence honorific (An honorific used when speaking aloud that shows respect for someone's child-like innocence, or their compliance with requests to not make affection advances.)

(Cultural Note: Calling someone merely “Dangonyon” or attaching this honorific to a new acquaintance's name is considered a generic polite way to address a new acquaintance or someone you don't know but are now talking to anyways. Honorifics are a much bigger deal in spoken Agirowen than in written Agirowen, and this is the most generic of them. However, note that Agirowen's honorifics don't tend to match up with Japanese ones, since -dangonyon is theoretically just as much like -kun as like -san even though those are not only not interchangeable, but actually relate to different contexts and politeness levels, and for that matter care about age whereas Agirowen only cares about virtues when deciding which honorific to use, with -dangonyon being generic in the sense that it is considered acceptable to use even if you do not know the person you are addressing well enough to know which virtue to emphasize when addressing them.)

Dan.kalver ten: Clothing (literally Soft Armor)

Dan.kalver lar: Clothes (especially fluffy clothing that offers great protection) ; Armor worn for fashion purposes rather than necessity (which is how Chinereyan fashion works, since normal clothing is not allowed in Chinereya in most places, so all they would have is armor even when it comes to fashion. That said, Plushing Meray Creatures pull it off well, especially since their armor is soft and fluffy anyways) ; Thick fur that offers good protection

Dan.kalver ren: To protect someone with softness ; To clothe oneself (especially with fashionable armor)

Dan.kalver: (Proper noun) A type of living cloth creature often confused for a mummy but being unrelated to one and having a much more continuous body and having a much more lighthearted origin. It is a living suit of clothing armor that can equip itself onto someone else and be worn as extra sturdy but soft protection. (Btw, this isn't a creature I came up with. A Furry named Adder Jones came up with it, and Dan kalver is really just my conlang and world's name for his kind, though from what I've heard his species has changed a bit since then to be a hybrid of this and a Panther.)

The Argon stem for Supportiveness is Super, with Sub {which meant “Weaken” in Argon} switching meanings as Agirowen speakers lost the ability to articulate /p/ as the language evolved. Agirowen used Dis.sub as the root for “Weaken”, as it is the corrupt opposite of “Boost” or “Encourage”.)

Waskar ren: To cry ; To douse something (especially something or someone who melts and/or dies from being doused) ; To drown

Waskar ron: Sad (regarding a person) ; Forlorn or Causing Sadness (of an object) ; Wet

(Note: most uses of this word are affected by the perspective of Meray Creatures as beings whose biology makes touching water injurious and being submerged in water fatal for them. It takes a lot longer for them to respawn if they died due to water. As such, this word has just as many connotations and denotations of grief and sorrow as it does denotations of getting wet (and especially, getting harmed because of getting wet), so this word has a very distinctive meaning in Chinereya. On Earth, it would probably just be interpreted to mean Water as an element, though it could still be used for sadness in statements that are otherwise clearly about feelings, since saying “I feel sad today” is much more normal conversation than saying “I feel wet today”.)

(However, there is a use of Waskar- that does not normally carry the more grim connotations, and it is the following one: )

Waskarbin: Hello! (said sorrowfully)

(The sad greeting word, which one uses when one is just feeling way too down today or at the moment to muster the same cheerful energy as “Yanyarbin” usually carries.)
