Posting a TEXTWALL of shit I put together for a friend and I's Navi OCs.
So their names are Natxampay (mars), Hawnuyu (armourer), and Txanhufwe (jay), meaning roughly of ocean, protector, and heavy wind respectively. They are shortened to: natxam, hawnu, and txan. Natxam and Hawnu are from the ocean clans, and Txan is from the plains.
Explanation in-depth under the cut. All using Navi words, but using Maori grammar for the ocean clans and Navajo grammar for the plains. Tried to do my research! Lemme' know if you know if it's wrong.
Mars: Natxampaynalutsa te Na'Itan Keitekxakxaywepxtskxe
-Na (of) txampay (ocean) nalutsa (whales) (ocean belonging to whales)
-te (family)
-Na (of) Itan (son) (son of)
-Kei te kxkax (breaks) ayweopx (waves, + ay for plural) tskxe (rocks) (wave breaks rocks)
Jay: txanhufwe'snotstal taw avawmné sno'itan
-txanhufwe (heavy wind) sno'tstal (his knife) (wind's knife)
-taw (sky) avwamné (darkens (a = indefinite 3rd person ie something/someone verbs ; né = Imperfective (describes an action/event that began but is seen as incomplete) )
-sno'itan (his son) (sky darkens his son) = (son of sky darkens)
Natxampay (mars), Hawnuyu (armourer), and Txanhufwe (jay)
of ocean, protector, and heavy wind
pirate au i guess feat @honsebeasts armourer who is sea monster, then riymah who is bentiv's rival, then mars who is the spanish navy's best captain until he gets way too obsessed with hunting down and killing the crew of the widower (bent's ship)
theyre in my mind thats all. wanna draw bentiv but we'll see if i have time
