avaenflien: a neogender umbrella for terms related to flight and winged creatures
[pt: avaenflien: a neogender umbrella for terms related to flight and winged creatures. end pt]
concepts potentially included under avaenflien:
winged creatures both real and fictional — birds, flying insects, pegasi, dragons, fairies, etc.
flight (especially flight using one's own wings or on the back of a flying creature, but things like airplanes, helicopters, and fictional flying vehicles are also included)
the feeling of wind rushing past, the sight of the ground far below, the beating of one's wings, etc.
being a winged alterhuman/nonhuman/etc., having wing dysphoria or phantom wings, memories of flight, etc.*
and anything else related to winged beings and flying!
*this umbrella is not exclusive to alterhumans, but is heavily inspired by my own alterhuman experiences, which is why i wanted to list it!
derived terms:
sor, soren: an avaenflien person (derived from 'soar' and its middle english ancestor, 'soren')
ave, avae: an older avaenflien person ('ave' is bird in various languages)
flyt, flyts: a younger avaenflien person (derived from 'fly' and 'flit', intended to be pronounced like 'flit')
aviwing: an avaenflien gender
aflin: avaenflien-in-nature
avifline: having avaenflien qualities (equivalent of masculine/feminine). noun form is aviflinity
flyvianic: avaenflien gender alignment
transavifline, transavifly, transavi: transitioning towards aviflinity
the term is 'av' from 'avian', 'vaen' inspired by icelandic 'vængur' ('wing'), + 'flien', middle english for 'to fly'! i've been pronouncing the first syllable as a schwa, the second with a long 'a', and 'flien' as 'flee-en', making the term four syllables, with emphasis on 'vaen'.
the flag is meant to look like wings. the symbol combines hummingbird and butterfly (139) from this folder; here's the symbol by itself:
[image id: two images of the avaenflien symbol, which is a dark bluish-green silhouette of a hummingbird with butterfly wings. in the left image, the symbol is outlined in soft teal; in the right, it is not. an image is placed between the two to make them take up less space on the screen. end id.]
and here’s the template for those who want to coin aviwings!
