#ScribesAndMakers 5/6. Ghoti (fish) is a word created to demonstrate the odd pronunciation variations in the English language. Create a word of your own or share one you've created. So many. In the Patterners' World there are entire classes of creatures with "ancient names": kichek (ridable lizard thing), sikechak (bat like, comes in sizes up to f-ing enormous), nachak (like T-Rex), tekrak (rocket-propelled flying cabbage - no, really), xililik (nobody knows, used as an insult). There are rules for how the words are constructed. Most races have a name ending in "-lin" like Shocalin (otter-like), Ustecalin (ambulant fish people), Miralin (mer-folk). #writing #writingCommunity
