I have endured what no one on earth has ever done before

I put to my lips the hands of the man who killed my son.

[ID: excerpt from ‘Elektra,’ by Sophokles (tr. Anne Carson)

“Do I not live? Badly, I know, but I live.”]

[hmstartnell]

just read this interview with Nive Nielsen where she says that she’s “pretty sure what was meant is “tuurngaq” [not Tuunbaq] and I say it like that in the TV show” and I want to talk about this for a second. because in the interrogation scene in ep5, the way Crozier and Blanky pronounce the name of the creature is so clearly different to how Silna pronounces it and she even corrects them after they say it wrong. but neither of them listen to her and continue to pronounce it as “Tuunbaq”. it’s the continuation of the colonial tradition of gradually destroying Indigenous languages but it’s done in such a subtle and seemingly harmless way that most people wouldn’t really bat an eyelid at it. I mean, what harm can two people pronouncing one word wrong do? but that is exactly how the eradication of indigenous languages began. with ignorant Europeans finding a similar pronunciation that is easier for them to say

[willowbilly]

Please additionally note that this interview transcribes the word both times as “tuurngaq,” which is the most common Inuktitut form of the word. But the Kalaallisut cognate is actually “toornaq,” and in the show, Nive Nielsen pronounces it as the Natchiliŋmiutut cognate: “tuuŋŋaq,” with a geminated /ŋŋ/ rather than an /rŋ/ cluster. Here is the corrected quote:

NN: The pronunciation in the book is “Tuunbaq,” for the spirit, but I’m pretty sure what was meant is “[tuuŋŋaq],” and I say it like that in the TV show. We would say “[toornaq]” here in Greenland, but it’s like a shaman’s helping spirit. It’s a creation of the shaman. It can literally be formed and shaped according to the shaman’s imagination. That’s how I treated the monster of the TV show, as a helping spirit of the shaman.

If you want an idea what more authentic oldschool hacking language sounds like, there is an absolutely ANCIENT webpage called the Jargon File (seems to have been updated from the early 80s up through 2004), aka the New Hacker’s Dictionary, that kept a record. It’s not far from Gibson’s idea but if anything it sounds even dorkier, peppered with coding terms and prehistoric memes

Indispensable dictionary of hacker slang
