I've been very busy creating some new words and phrases!!! To apologize for not posting for so long im sharing how you say "i make a minor trangression" in my language:
Fokow atawlan tawpa fokòe.
(Literally "I break your bag")
N-self VBZ-bag-ADJZ-NEG bag-N N-you
The other version for more serious mistakes will be shared tomorrow along with some more lore!!
Anyways, bags are extremely important to the Windpeople. Commonly made of sewn leather or animal bladder, bags that look vaguely like gourds are widely used as a convenient method for transporting water, food, or any loose, messy things that have to endure long trips.
People commonly bundle up bags in groups of three to offer to the 3 main deities in the pantheon, which led to 3 tied together bags being a religious symbol. (more on this tomorrow)
If you broke one of someone's many bags, it would be considered a bit of a shame, but not anything too serious: they could always just repair the bag again.
But why don't the Windpeople use baskets instead? They have an abundance of flexible, sturdy plant fibers.
Well, baskets are only used for short distance trips from a local oasis, or the markets, to a house nearby. As most of the common class couldn't spare any food, time or money to send their kin on long journeys, these bags meant for trips became obsolete among them.
The higher classes above them (priests, people sponsored by religious organizations, the aristocracy) could use their resources on long pilgrimages. To avoid the sun from evaporating their water and rotting their food, the bags' use was commonplace in the higher classes.
Because of this, the bags slowly became associated with the upper class, and baskets with the lower class, encouraging the use of the bags.
Ty for reading!! so excited for tmrs post.
