Re: Translating The Marro
Umm, Kee-Mo-Shi?

On a related note, anyone think Sujoah sounds like one of the marro names?

btw, my best guess on the meaning of Marro is:

Marro means Skull People
and
Marr means Skull Place

Grok means Tough Creature or Mighty Mount
and
Nagrub means Bite-Sized Animal

Anything I'm missing?
Nagrub can be broken down too---na-grub to be hivelord-snack. This poses some interesting questions though---how did Marronian and English come to share a common word?

In the story on hasbro.com it says that the adventurers (Drake, Raelin, Q10 etc.) give the nagrubs their name. In reality the Marro could have a completely different term for them.
Oh yeah and someone said something about a couple o fwords having male and female versions this is a very pluasible thought considering many languages have male and female forms of certain words.

Re: Translating The Marro

Re: Translating The Marro
After carefully analyzing this thread. I have finally reached a very strong opinion about everything discussed here.
