2024.05.19 06:03 miki6048 Phrases that start with "the" followed by "of" should use singular or plural verb?
I have asked ChatGPT the above question, and it said the the key is to look at the noun or concept after "of" and make the verb agree with whether it is singular or plural in that context.
However, the examples that ChatGPT provided makes me feel more confused. For example, 1. The details of the conference have been released.
If I use the rule from ChatGPT, I should look at the word "conference", and use "has". However, it said the correct verb form is "have".
Another example like: 2. The list of ingredients calls for many spices.
According to the rule from ChatGPT, "Ingredients" is plural, then the verb follow this phrase should be "call" instead of "calls". But it said "calls" is the correct one.
I really mixed up by ChatGPT.

2024.05.19 05:30 T1mbuk1 An Idea for a Protolang
I'm thinking of a protolang mixing PIE with Proto-Taqva-miir.
PIE Consonants: m, n, p, b, bʰ, t, d, dʰ, kʲ, gʲ, gʲʰ, k, g, gʰ, kʷ, gʷ, gʷʰ, s, h1, h2, h3, r, l, j, w
Proto-Taqva-miir Consonants: m, n, ɲ, b, t, tʼ, d, c, cʼ, ɟ, k, kʼ, g, q, qʼ, ɢ, ʔ, s, z, ɕ, ʑ, ç, ʝ, x, ɣ, ħ, ʕ, h, r, l, ʎ, j, w
PIE Vowels: e, eː, o, oː(Though a, aː, i, iː, u, uː might've also existed with them.)
Proto-Taqva-miir Vowels: a, aː, i, iː, u, uː
For the consonants, I added the two amounts from each language, then divided by two, meaning that 29 consonants should be the amount for this protolang. Matching them, I could add whatever consonants from each set correspond the most neatly with whatever consonants from the other. PIE's syllable structure was (C)CVC(C), which allowed nasals and liquids in the nucleus alongside the vowels. PTM's structure was (C)V(R), meaning that only nasals and liquids, grouped as resonants, can end syllables and words. In terms of stress, PIE used a pitch accent, while PTM's stress system was the same as Finnish at first, with stress falling on the first syllable all the time, with the modern language's system being the same as Latin, meaning that stress falls on the third-to-last syllable by default, with the second-to-last one being stressed instead as long as it contains a long vowel or is closed.
For syntax, PIE word order is debated. Mixing the two hypotheses could lead to PIE having used a free word order still classified as strictly subject initial. PTM would utilize SOV as the word order, utilizing postpositions derived from verbs. PIE used prepositions, and adjectives before nouns, while PTM's adjectives are also derived from nouns. In terms of grammar, both PIE and PTM were going to share the same grammatical number system: singular, dual, and plural, though PTM, in the end, used singular and plural, which evolved into a singulative/dual/plural system with an inverse marker. I'm considering this mixture using an inverse marker alongside singular, dual, and plural markings.
Regarding the tense systems, PIE is said to have two tenses: past and present. It might've used an auxiliary as an indicator of the future tense. It also used three aspects: imperfective ("present"), perfective ("aorist"), and stative ("perfect"). There were also four moods, or five: indicative, subjunctive, optative, and imperative. An injunctive mood might've also been possible. PTM utilized an unmarked imperfective, a marked perfective via reduplication, and an infinitive. Reduplication plus the [i] vowel was used for the perfective converb, and an -in suffix was used for the imperfective converb, the -su suffix marking the infinitive. The standard copula, derived from "live", and the locative copula, derived from "stand", would be utilized to create a new tense system:
PIE only utilized one copula: h1es-. They might've also used others like the following: bʰuh₂-(maybe "grow" and "become"), h2wes-(maybe "live"), h1er-, and (s)teh2-("stand").
Regarding valency-changing operations, PIE is said only to use a causative, while PTM utilizes a mediopassive derived from "take/get" and a causative/commitative derived from "lead". At least that was the original plan. The modern form uses the following operations: detransitive, causative, reflexive, reciprocal, mediopassive (detransitive + Dative), and antipassive (detransitive + Genitive). And via morphology.
And speaking of morphology and synthesis, while Proto-Taqva-miir is somewhat agglutinative, the eventual modern language being fusional, PIE was fusional. At least I think so, though I need better clarity. PIE lacks a dominant order regarding comparatives(superlatives, sublatives, etc.). However, PTM utilized auxiliaries and later a morphological system to indicate everything: comparative, superlative, sublative, intensive, excessive, equative, and contrastive. Unfortunately, there is no paucative marking as far as I'm aware. I'd need to look at the other Conlang Case Study videos. Let me make a list, and I keep the following distinct and antonymous with augmentatives and diminutives, which relate to size descriptions of nouns unrelated to other nouns.
Comparative: ???
Superlative: highest degree
Sublative: lowest degree
Equative: equal value
Contrastive: different value
Intensive: stronger
Excessive: too much of something
???: weaker
Paucative: too few of something
What is supposed to go where the triple question marks are? I'd like to know. Here's a bonus question: Which of these have been reconstructed and are theorized to have existed in Proto-Indo-European?
I'm also thinking of looking into the question words of PIE, and seeing what I should do from there, as Biblaridion is thinking of auxiliary question words like "what+thing", "what+place", "what+person", etc. And I have ideas for the languages it could split into. It's for a hypothetical(either actual or fictional) D&D campaign.

2024.05.19 00:10 TheIndulgery Using ChatGPT as a novel writing aid
 | I'm currently writing a fantasy / litPRG novel and have been using ChatGPT in creative ways to help with it. I had some requests on how so instead of replying to everyone individually I figured I'd make a post! I will include screenshots so expect this post to be long! Also, it's from my actual book so please don't steal my shit. lol submitted by TheIndulgery to ChatGPT [link] [comments] I'll break it up into 5 sections:
Editing and grammar: This is pretty straightforward. I'll copy and paste sections and ask it to fix the grammar, bolding any changes it makes and striking out any words it removes so I can review the changes. The only issue I've had with this is that if I try to post an entire chapter it'll sometimes pause in its review and ask if I want to continue. Sometimes when it does that it loses sentences or even a paragraph where it broke. Now I just do smaller chunks. It'll explain why it made the changes too, so it's improving my grammar as I go. Character and creature help: This is also pretty straightforward. I already have my main characters written up and I know which ones are coming later, but sometimes I want mooks or neighbors, and other times I need creatures. I'll ask it for more than I need and pick the best ones. Some of the prompts: "Create 5 creatures that you'd find in Wisconsin. There should be a day version and a night version, the night version being tougher and having more attacks. For each come up with 3 offensive and 3 defensive powers. Also describe them in the format of a character description in a D&D style monster manual." https://preview.redd.it/n2e5pfx9691d1.png?width=825&format=png&auto=webp&s=41abb9ae9a8c984ea1837b0a3b292885822b1e5e "Based off the fight scene I just described and the attached screenshot of the person's character sheet, come up with 5 attacks, skills, or magical abilities that person could develop. They should reflect that person's personality, character sheet, and fighting style." https://preview.redd.it/05t0977p691d1.png?width=572&format=png&auto=webp&s=35a55418b0ce7230225ac79e632632f4aac43f6a https://preview.redd.it/kio2yals691d1.png?width=592&format=png&auto=webp&s=443d537f20d4c8956441214ea38ecd1e2af651bb Mooks: https://preview.redd.it/9dxzjn85791d1.png?width=606&format=png&auto=webp&s=11ca003c702f77d5ea27e55abbb6a20f7573d409 https://preview.redd.it/kvudyz97791d1.png?width=603&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fd6ee23d5719a0f73abf6b65b694c5523f6223f The cool stuff: This is where it really shines and has helped me avoid a lot of pitfalls that I notice when I'm reading other authors' books: "Review the story and look for any words that I reuse a lot. Ignore standard ones like 'and, they, him, etc'" All authors have their favorite words that get repeated way too often. I'll find them and suggest alternate descriptions. It goes beyond just providing new words. "I want to avoid repetitive descriptions. Please review the story and identify any times I've repeated descriptions, turns of phrase, etc. Categorize them into "fight scenes", "Emotional scenes", and "area/scene descriptions" This has been a power prompt for me. We tend to describe things a certain way and it identifies areas where changes can be made to make it more dynamic and varied. https://preview.redd.it/n0s3w4l2891d1.png?width=787&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f8bbb75a01216bbef6b4792740154a1ea4f40ef https://preview.redd.it/zy9jj32a891d1.png?width=755&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6a3ee793ee610a96416268ae407aab70c6d3785 "Please review the story for any inconsistencies. I'm specifically looking for ways I've described the system or world as working that I later contradict." I've had mixed results with this one but overall it works really well. It's also useful for all those items that you forget, especially if they enhance someone and they're supposed to be using a skill or ability from it: https://preview.redd.it/wz4gn43v891d1.png?width=662&format=png&auto=webp&s=b278e32bd76464dfa09395115d8bb401a759d789 I also use it to bounce ideas off of. Sometimes the ideas are generic but often it comes up with ideas that I hadn't thought of. I don't like it decide the plot or directions, but it's like chatting with an editor or reviewer and the two of you bouncing ideas off each other. I'll reply to its posts with things like "I like number 3 but it's coming too early. What if we had them go to place X instead of that, saving that for later?" Character [xx] is going to have these skills and plot points in the future. Knowing that, please tailor all skill and plot suggestions with the idea of driving towards that narrative in a balanced, natural manner. None of the ideas should feel forced and they should all happen naturally as the story progresses. As I paste new chapters please incorporate the changes into that long term progression and adapt as required. "I think I want character B to starting feeling like they're not contributing but I'm having trouble thinking of ways to express that naturally. I don't want it to feel forced. What are some situations they could end up in that'd highlight that? Who could they fight with?" "I feel like character A is getting too complacent and it outpacing the other people, but they've become the lynchpin of the fights. I plan on introducing XX situation and it'll make them weak in XX area. I'm going to post a few paragraphs with that, tell me if it rings true with the character growth I've been using for the rest of the story." "I'm going to paste the first half of a fight that the characters are in but I'm realizing I don't have any ideas for how they'll win. What are some ideas based off the creature's character sheet you posted earlier?" And I asked ChatGPT to make a summarized list of the types of requests I've asked of it. Here's what it came up with: Sure! Here's a summary list of the different types of requests you've made for help with plot, development, and ideas:Plot Development Story Arcs: "Review this key story arc that introduces a major conflict between Tess and Zavier. Suggest any improvements or additional elements to make the conflict more engaging."Scene and Setting Descriptions Sensory Details: "Enhance this description of a forest setting by incorporating more sensory details. Suggest specific sounds, smells, and tactile elements that could be added."Dialogue and Internal Monologue Character Dialogues: "Review this conversation between Zavier and Tess where they discuss their fears and hopes. Suggest ways to make the dialogue more natural and emotionally resonant."Item and Skill Creation Loot Items: "Review these unique items dropped by the Ironhide Boar. Suggest any changes to their descriptions, stats, and effects to make them more interesting and balanced."Theme and Tone Maintaining Tone: "Ensure that the tone of this new scene remains consistent with the rest of the story. Provide feedback on balancing dark moments with hopeful ones."Feedback and Revisions Improving Flow: "Review this written scene and suggest improvements for better flow and engagement. Identify any areas where the narrative could be more fluid."And finally, I asked ChatGPT what kinds of prompts to use to make the most of its ability to help writers: To make the most of my abilities as an AI assistant, authors should use prompts that focus on detailed feedback, specific suggestions for improvements, and brainstorming new ideas. Here are some examples of effective prompts that can help authors maximize the benefits of using my assistance:Plot Development Story Arcs: "Review this key story arc and suggest any improvements or additional elements to make the conflict more engaging and impactful."Scene and Setting Descriptions Sensory Details: "Enhance this description of a [setting] by incorporating more sensory details. Suggest specific sounds, smells, and tactile elements that could be added."Dialogue and Internal Monologue Character Dialogues: "Review this conversation between [Character A] and [Character B] and suggest ways to make the dialogue more natural and emotionally resonant."Item and Skill Creation Loot Items: "Review these unique items dropped by [creature] and suggest any changes to their descriptions, stats, and effects to make them more interesting and balanced."Theme and Tone Maintaining Tone: "Ensure that the tone of this new scene remains consistent with the rest of the story. Provide feedback on balancing dark moments with hopeful ones."Feedback and Revisions Improving Flow: "Review this written scene and suggest improvements for better flow and engagement. Identify any areas where the narrative could be more fluid."Hope this helps! |

2024.05.18 20:18 commonsensetrader47 Just my 2 cents worth, ok maybe 3 cuz it's kinda long-winded...
I am sharing my little story here, I don't care if you upvote or downvote, cuz what I'm sharing here is the truth, so love it or hate it, it is what it is, and that's for you to decide what you think of, regarding what I'm sharing.
So I bought into FFIE under pretenses that many others may have bought into it. (As potentially false) I was told by a friend, and I hurried up and jumped and didn't do my own DD, and so on and so forth. So my original piece (I don't do share amounts, and let it be known, my amounts are so small, they will have minimal impact as it is) was so profitable so fast, I decided to de-risk myself (and my father's risk, as this part is 3 IRA accounts, two are mine, and one is his, he entrusts me to oversee his funds), so we sold out of 4/5 of our original pieces of equal share amounts in those 3 accounts, each bought in in the ballpark of .54 to .56 per share, and selling out to get our original investment back plus a little profit, so we can let ride those shares we have remaining. (That happened Wednesday)
So it started to go so crazy, that I decided to do something I normally don't do and buy the same amount of shares we have left in those first three accounts in three other trading accounts I also watch, one for myself, one for my dad and one for my brother. Reason I don't normally do stuff like this in accounts like those is because I don't like to incur tax consequences in our regular old boring LTBH (a fore-father of the HODL I'd contend) so that's usually not in the cards. (That buy-in happened Thursday, .86 per share for those little blocks)
So because of all of the above, and in conjunction with what happened on Friday, here's why I have decided to put all the blocks of shares I and my family (through our collective methods) have accumulated into a HODL-ing pattern for us personally, and here's why:
First three blocks of shares are like free $, in the sense that the original investment and a little profit is back in our accounts, so whatever happens with those, happens with those.
Second three blocks, I don't want to incur any taxation without representation anyway, so why bother selling any of those, it's better to keep them for the long haul.
Third, the impending earnings report may have an impact, I don't know, however I'm just guessing/speculating on that part.
Fourth, the amount of folks jumping in on this sub has grown quite substantially, I think it was at like 6k or thereabouts on Wednesday morning when I first took a look at this sub. (didn't join the sub right away either, btw, and not 100% sure if that was earlier or later, I'm not exactly remembering how that went down)
Fifth, while I don't have a problem with you as an individual investor if you decide to take your own calculated risk and take a short position in a company b/c you believe said company isn't a good investment, I DO have a problem with you if you are part of the dishonest non-integrity having MOFO's in the hedge-fund industry who are pounding the little guys down(IMHO) with what appears to my eyes to be dishonest, overbearing, and underhanded looking intentions behind these moves.(IMHO) If you are in that latter group, I don't consider you anything more than an at best my opponent in this chess match we call life, and at worst, someone who should be locked up and put behind bars if what you are doing is illegal at worst, or if only legal but still un-ethical at best.(IMHO)
So for what it's worth, this is my story and I'm sticking to it. Call me a paper-handed little bi#%h for how this story starts. I'm fat, my thick skin can take the name calling, no problem. Call me a longwinded SOB, however, that's not very nice of you to talk about my mom like that, and clearly, I'm a man of few words, so what gives? (c'mon, dumb dad jokes and ironic stupid-ness humor is all I have in most places in my life, so you'll have to excuse the use here)
None of this is financial advice. I am not a financial advisor, nor would I advocate ( verb or adverb, not noun here, {add voh kate}, to eliminate any double entendre from the other pronunciation of the same word which would ruin the English and change the meaning) that anyone make any of their own personal moves based on what I'm sharing here. I just like to share my story, b/c the one weapon I know I have in my arsenal which puts me in what I'd like to think is the "untouchable" crowd, is that everything I have said here is true, and in my little world, the TRUTH will ALWAYS set you FREE.
Have a great weekend, good luck and best wishes to all!

This is so that I can comfortably use the Tagalog circumfix "ka-____-an" which turns a root word into an abstract noun; showcasing the "concept" part of the Paths. It's also used for addressing someone like: Your Highness (Kataasan), Your Majesty (Kamahalan) etc.
In some translations, I will try and explain the reasoning behind my choices except for the ones that are straightforward at the end.
I'm just basically doing this because I thought it would be interesting to use the circumfix ka-___-an to have some unity to the naming conventions.
Here it is:
The Abundance –> Kasanàan
The Elation –> Katuwâan
The Harmony –> Kamayawán
The Order –> Kasunúran
The Remembrance –> Kagunitaán
The Equilibrium –> Kapantayan
The Nihility –> Kawalâan
The Beauty –> Kagandahan
The Hunt –> Katugisán
The Permanence –> Kalagián
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
The Destruction –> Kawasakán
The Finality –> Kawakasan
The Erudition –> Katalisikan
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
The Voracity –> Kasibaán
The Preservation –> Kasatilihán
The Propagation –> Kalaganapán or Kayabungán
The Trailblaze –> Kaagtasan or Kabagtasan
The Abundance –> Kasanàan
This word means Abundance with the association of hell. I used this word because of this Reddit comment that made it perfect as the translation.
It also has a similar pronunciation of the word for just abundance (kasaganahan) with both having similar syllables except for "ga" and having the stress at the penultimate syllable.
The Elation –> Katuwâan
This one might be self-explanatory as the root word just translate to "joy" but I picked this out of the other synonyms for "happy" in Tagalog because its proto-austronesian meaning is "luck". So, yes. I picked that one because of that one Aventurine conversation.
The Harmony –> Kamayawán
I struggled with this one because I kept trying to look for a word that has the "musical" and "oneness" connotation of the original word.
I kept trying to look for a word that's commonly used but then gave up and just ask my mom if she has an idea and that's where the word "mayaw" came from.
She said it means getting along with others. So I check an online Tagalog dictionary and it states:
má·yaw adjective (old tagalog)
1.voices are one or have harmony.
It also gained a new meaning in the Maugnayin Science Dictionary Filipino-English as the word for "cosmos".
The Order –> Kasunúran
This one I'm entirely not confident on; as it's hard to find a word that's narrow in meaning, but still similar, to the word I picked for Harmony.
I'm unsuccessful so I just picked the word for " to follow (sunód)" because if you used that with the "ka-___-an" circumfix it has the connotation of a list of "orders" to follow.
The Remembrance –> Kagunitaán
This one I picked instead of the more common word for "memory (ala-ala)" because it has a broader meaning and much shorter than ala-ala.
The Equilibrium –> Kapantayan
The root word just mean equal or fair (pantáy).
The Nihility –> Kawalâan
I didn't used the shortened "Kawalán", even though they have the same root word for "nothing (walâ)", because more people associate that with the void or space. Also it makes it sound more like an abstract word than Kawalán.
The Beauty –> Kagandahan
The root word just means beauty (gandá).
The Hunt –> Katugisán
The root word just means hunt (tugis).
The Permanence –> Kalagián
The root word means "always (lagì)". I'm iffy about this one as it doesn't have the same weight for me as Permanence. I could also use the word for before (dati) since according to dictionaries its synonym with permanent, I think? But honestly I prefer Kalagián more than the other one.
The Destruction –> Kawasakán
I picked this word because I want it to be similar to the word that I picked for Finality. Since it was, I think, mentioned in the game that The Destruction has the possibility to get absorbed to The Finality because the latter is more broader in concept.
The Finality –> Kawakasan
Same explanation as The Destruction. Are the two words even cognate/doublet with each other?
The Erudition –> Katalisikan
I used this word instead of the word for knowledge (dunong) or intellect (talino) because the word "talisik" means " a knowledge that's obtained from rigorous study and also the closest to the word "erudite (matalisik)". Which best describes the followers of Nous.
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
I have to actually look up the etymology of the word Enigmata to find a suitable translation for it. It means "to speak in riddles" which pairs up nicely to the Tagalog word for "riddle (bugtóng)".
The Voracity –> Kasibaán
For this one I just search about the Tagalog version of the seven deadly sins and picked the word for gluttony.
The Preservation –> Kasatilihán
I got the word (satili) from the word for preserve (panatili). I think the root word " tili " is not used in Tagalog anymore that's why it always has an affix when used in a sentence. Even if the word " tili " means a "state of permanency" the way it's derived terms used it to mean preserve is still possible since it is a verb:
Wiktionary States that: the prefix sa- is used to denote a method or means to a purpose, sa- + puso (“heart”) → sapuso (“act of having put to heart”)
The Propagation –> Kalaganapán o Kayabungán
The word "laganap" means spreaded-out.
Since the word Propagation is linked to agriculture, another great translation is the word for "thriving; abundant growth; foliage; plentiful foliage (yabong)"
The Trailblaze –> Kaagtasan o Kabagtasan
This is the one I struggled the most as I keep thinking of a word that would fit the context of the game.
Since I can't just take the word "trail + blaze" and word-for-word translate it as that would be clunky. I opted for the other original name in Chinese in the Aeon wiki page.
When I search for the individual meaning of the Chinese characters "开拓" I got was "to open or break". Which tells me nothing.
I, then, thought of looking for other English words that are close to the meaning of Trailblaze. That's where I got the word "Pathfinding" and then google the Tagalog word for it which is "aktas" meaning "to open or to make a new path". Which is perfect and I just chose the other pronunciation of it "agtas" because it's close to the word "bagtas (to traverse)".
Man, I really wish games like this gets a Tagalog translation and I'm not even asking for a dub, just the text like in some other available languages in the game.

2024.05.18 15:25 IranRPCV Devotional for May 18th by Sally Gabriel
2 Peter 1:5-7 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness;”
Our faith grows as we become intentional in living a life of obedience to God’s commandments. When Jesus was asked what is the great commandment, he responded that loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind was at the top. (Mark 12:28-31) He went on to say that the second great commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves.
When we love God with all we’ve got, we should automatically love our neighbor. However, it doesn’t always come easily.
As we address brotherly kindness, I want to talk about love as a verb. Too often people think in terms of love being a noun. They go with their “feelings.” Love can be a noun. It is often something you feel. But it is what you do before that feeling surfaces that really matters. That’s where love as an action verb needs to appear.
When we add brotherly kindness to godliness we are truly being more reverent and our worship of God moves from the sanctuary of the Lord’s house into our everyday lives. Our worship becomes more real and more meaningful.
1 John 4:20 tells us, “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:” To not show brotherly love is to negate any time we spend praying and singing God’s praises.
Think about that. It’s powerful. Brotherly love doesn’t say you need to agree with the other person and how they look, act, talk, or think. You and I must love everyone and treat them with God’s love and kindness.
It’s the concept of the Golden Rule. "Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31) Too often people simply give back what they get. If they receive love then they will love, however if hurt, prejudices, anger, etc is dealt to them, they dish it back and everyone loses. That’s not God’s wishes.
Today, choose to grow your faith by intentionally showing brotherly love toward everyone you meet. Be blessed to be a blessing.
🙏Father, thank you for loving me unconditionally and for loving everyone else the same way. Help me to also love as you love and to accept each person I meet with your love and brotherly kindness. Wherever your spirit leads today, help me to be fully awake and ready to respond in love. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. 🙏

2024.05.18 12:27 Apodiktis Turning nouns into verbs with specific conjugation
I’m creating an Austronesian conlang and languages from this family tend to have infixes. However I didn’t want to make three syllables long words for basic activities, so I decided to make conjugation based on vowel alternation (or rather syllable ending alternation). Here is an example how it works:
To wish - sara - sura - sivra - sevra - savra
To see - kita - kanta - kinta - kjenta - kjanta
To sleep - tidu - tandi - tindi - tjendi - tjandi
You can see that the only thing which changes is the syllable ending and every other letter remains as it was. (in my conlang syllable can end only with vowel or j /j/, n /ŋ/, v /w/).
First word belongs to the first conjugation which uses „a” as a changeable vowel, but second and third one uses „i” because first consonant is soft. First form is infinitive, second is present active, third is past active, fourth is present passive and fifth is past passive.
And that’s a very good solution for me, because there is still the same amount of syllables and if I make some verbs irregular it will sound more natural.
But there is one problem. When I want to turn a noun into a verb, conjugation won’t work, because nouns aren’t made like verbs, so fist vowel in the noun can be something different from „a” or „i” and it would be too complicated and hard to make special conjugation for every ending (there are 16)
I thought about changing first vowel in noun to „a” or „i” in order to change it to verb, but if I would have three nouns (tari, teri, turi), they would have the same verb form which is very confusing.
Only root is conjugated, so in word bekita (to show) be will remain as it is, but kita will change normally.
Please advice me a good solution for this problem. Thank you for your answers.

Below is a guide to help clarify your posts. Anonymity is kind of a hard thing to uphold but we still encourage it. Either use throwaway accounts or remove personal information and put place holders in your resumes. Then, if you've got a match, people can PM you.
When you post your resume, please include:
- Goal (job, resume feedback, etc.)
- Industry or desired industry (petrochemical, gas processing, food processing, any, etc.)
- Industry experience level (Student, 0-2 yr, 2-5 yr, 5-10 yr, etc.)
- Mobility (where you are, any comments on how willing you are to relocate, etc.)
Check out the /rEngineeringResumes' wiki
- One page resume. There are some exceptions, but you will know if you are the exception.
- Consistent Format. This means, that if you use a certain format for a job entry, that same format should be applied to every other entry, whether it is volunteering or education.
- Stick to Black and White, and text. No pictures, no blue text. Your interviewers will print out your resume ahead of the interview, and they will print on a black and white printer. Your resume should be able to be grey scaled, and still look good.
- Minimize White space in your resume. To clarify, this doesn't mean just make your resume wall to wall text. The idea is to minimize the amount of contiguous white space, using smart formatting to break up white space.
- Start all your bullet points using past tense, active verbs. Even if it is your current job. Your goal should still be to demonstrate past or current success.
- Your bullet points should be mini interview responses. This means utilizing STAR (situation task action response). Your bullet point should concisely explain the context of your task, what you did, and the direct result of your actions. You have some flexibility with the result, since some things are assumed (for example, if you trained operators, the result of 'operators were trained properly' is implied).
- DO. NOT. PUT. YOUR. HIGH. SCHOOL. I cannot emphasize this enough. No one cares about how you did in high school, or that you were valedictorian, or had a 3.X GPA. Seriously, no one cares. There are some exceptions, but again, you will know if you are the exception.
- If you are applying for a post graduation job, or have graduated and are applying for jobs, DO NOT PUT COURSEWORK. You will have taken all the classes everyone expects, no one cares to see all of the courses listed out again.

2024.05.17 12:45 Lysimachiakis Biweekly Telephone Game v3 (591)
This is a game of borrowing and loaning words! To give our conlangs a more naturalistic flair, this game can help us get realistic loans into our language by giving us an artificial-ish "world" to pull words from!
The Telephone Game will be posted every Monday and Friday, hopefully.
Note: try to show your word inflected, as it would appear in a typical sentence. This can be the source of many interesting borrowings in natlangs (like how so many Arabic words were borrowed with the definite article fossilized onto it! algebra, alcohol, etc.)
2) Respond to a post by adapting the word to your language's phonology, and consider shifting the meaning of the word a bit!
3) Sometimes, you may see an interesting phrase or construction in a language. Instead of adopting the word as a loan word, you are welcome to calque the phrase -- for example, taking skyscraper by using your language's native words for sky and scraper. If you do this, please label the post at the start as Calque so people don't get confused about your path of adopting/loaning.
Last Time...

2024.05.17 05:22 JokoLodang Nominalization by The Addition of The Particle 'Le' Before A Verb
I am adding it here cuz I think it's interesting and hasnt been discussed much.
Nominalization, the process in which a word class (in this case a verb) becomes a noun by a grammatical process. The grammatical process here is the addition of the particle 'le' before a verb. A phrasal example would be, le mlaku = mlaku (to walk) -> the walk;
le nggitar = nggitar (to play a guitar) -> the playing of a guitar;
le turu = turu (to sleep) -> the sleep;
and so on and so forth.
Examples in a sentence, "Le turu gasik ki tekmen wegah kerjo"
Le sleep early this because dont.want.to work
The early sleep is because he/she doesnt want to work
"Le nggitar suara-ne apik tenan"
Le playing.guitar sound-GEN good very
The sound of the playing of the guitar is very good
"Le mlaku wes kesel po hurung?"
Le walk already tired or not?
Are you already tired from the walk or not?
This I found in the region of Magelang, its southern subregions. I am curious as to where-else this language feature also appears, and if there is any variation of it. Thank you, and good day!
Alihbahasa Indonesia
Nominalisasi dengan Penambahan Partikel 'Le' Sebelum Kata Kerja
Saya menambahkan pengamatan saya di sini karena saya merasa bahasannya cukup menarik dan belum banyak atau sama sekali dibahas.
Nominalisasi, adalah proses di mana suatu kelas kata (yang mana dalam bahasan ini adalah kata kerja) diubah menjadi kata benda lewat proses ketatabahasaan. Proses yang dibahasa di sini adalah penambahan partikel 'le' sebelum kata kerja. Contoh dalam bentuk frase akan seperti,
Le ambegan = ambegan (bernapas) -> pernapasan
Le nggitar = nggitar (bermain gitar) -> permainan gitar
Le nggusur = nggusur (menggusur) -> penggusuran
Contoh dalam kalimat "Le nggusur ra merhatikke nasibe wong-wong"
Penggusurannya tidak memperhatikan/mempedulikan nasib orang-orang
"Le nggitar suarane apik tenan"
Suara dari permainan gitarnya bagus sekali
"Le ambegan koyo lebar dioyak asu"
Pernapasannya seperti baru dikejar anjing
Saya menemukan penggunaannya di daerah Magelang, tepatnya di kecamatan-kecamatan selatan. Saya penasaran apakah ada daerah lain yang juga menggunakannya, dan apabila terdapat juga variasi-variasi darinya. Terimkasih, dan selamat siang!

2024.05.17 04:45 BetiroVal Stasis: A missed defensive opportunity
Brief Overview
If you ask people what the worst subclass is, the answer is generally Arc or Stasis.Common complaints about Stasis is its lack of survivability and that its Shatter verb doesn’t tend to do damage in higher end content.
Whilst we are getting a new Verb with Frost Armour come Final Shape to aid with survivability, I feel like it’s a shame that Stasis has a wasted defensive potential, notably in fortification.
Stasis is defensive crowd control, meant to lock areas down, but it fails in that regard.
Freeze can disable enemies, but it doesn’t stop incoming fire whilst Stasis Crystals don’t persist long enough to be a reliable barricade.
Consequently, they are used for damage than actual defense.
Stasis Crystals: An unreliable bulwark
Stasis Crystals feel like they should be the ultimate bunker fantasy, but fall flat in that regard, since they crumble away easily in higher level content.One of the biggest issues I feel like they suffer from is from their formation.
Asides from awkward geometry spawning formation, a singular Stasis Crystal only has enough space for one person to hide directly behind, and lacks the health to be a reliable shield.
Even when they are spawned in Wall Formation (such as Glacier Grenade or Hoarfrost Z), a crystal will break easily and leave you exposed, not to mention that splash damage shreds through them.
I feel like Stasis Crystals suffers a Quantity over Quality issue, where you have to rely on sheer numbers of Stasis Crystals to protect you, at which point your screen is flooded with them and you can’t freely move.
Stasis Crystals should have a rework. They have triple the health, last longer (15s) have a wider hitbox and deal more shatter damage, but less of them are spawned. This would make a single Stasis Crystal more reliable as a defensive option.
Freeze: Damage Sponge
Freeze is great at disabling enemies, but it has a fundamental issue that it’s ultimately a stall, it ends when you damage the target.You can freeze an Unstoppable Ogre but that doesn’t stop the rain of fire from Acolytes.
Frozen Targets should ALSO act like a Stasis Crystal in that they absorb the damage from enemy fire before shattering.

Hi,
I used Notion for many years and later moved on to Obsidian which I've been using for about 2 years now. I find it useful but not perfect, and I have reached a stage where there is some functionality I am missing.
On top of what apps like Obsidian already offer, I was looking for something that would also have features like:
I know the Graph Analysis plugin for Obsidian is supposed to sort of do something similar to what I described, especially the Bag of Words and Louvain settings, but because it cannot distinguish between the importance of different nouns and it cannot distinguish nouns, verbs, or adjectives from prepositions and articles, it is not very useful.
After doing some Googling it seems that a tool that does what I described needs to either contain some kind of AI or something called "semantic ontology".
Someone in this Obsidian forum recommends capacities.io and it does have a couple of features I like, for instance, a note/object can have a property has is itself an object, such as a date, but if I want only the year I must put in a number which does not look like it can be its own object. I also did not find any way to add filters to the graph view at all, so it was more limited than Obsidian in that regard.
Anytype.io, which was recommended by the same user, allows you to define what type of object belongs as what property for each object type, which is already far superior but, as with Obsidian, it is quite complex so I don't fully know the extent of what can be done with the app and its potential issues.
Hopefully, I have done an OK job with explaining what I am looking for. Does anyone have any clue what kinds of tools I should be looking into that have features similar to what I described above? My university research is becoming quite complex and with Obsidian I feel like if I forget to link two notes (which becomes harder to remember as the vault expands and eventually linking similar ideas to a shared "main" note starts to get messy and deafeat the purpose) I end up not making full use of connections that could be helping me expand my understanding.

On top of what apps like Obsidian already offer, I was looking for something that would also have features like:
- Having an option to find notes based on their similarity to other notes. Basically determining potential relationships without me having to manually link them. These potential relationships can be based on words found in the body of the notes and their frequency. This could even be a feature available in the equivalent of an Obsidian local view that can be turned on or off.
- Similar to the previous item, an overview of topics I've written about would also be useful. For instance, something that can tell me that I created, let's say, 10 notes this month that include the some kind of "key" noun like "decentralization" and provide other insights like how when I produce notes about "decentralization" I also discuss "deregulation". And by key nouns I mean essentially words that are not every day words or even words that I explicitly define as key terms.
- Something that showcases how two notes are linked in the graph view. Meaning, instead of there just being lines or arrows, the line itself explains the relationship between the two notes. For instance, in Obsidian I can filter the graph view and search only for the items in my "Van Gogh" folder. And now I can see that the Vincent van Gogh note links to the Theo van Gogh note and to the Van Gogh Museum note. But the only way (as far as I can tell) that I can define the relationship between these items is with tags. So I can make a group for items tagged as "family", and the Theo note can then be pink. The "locations" tag can also have a group and be green instead. But what if I wanted to visualize, say, the date of something, like when someone was born and when a museum was inaugurated? I can't sort the graph view based on date or any other tag or property (though I'm sure I could make a Dataview table for that). But if I had tags for dates and I wanted to group items based on that, I now really have no way of knowning how these items relate. So something that makes these relationships visibly clearer would be super helpful (along with features that allow for more ways to sort notes on the graph view).

2024.05.16 08:29 No_Pomegranate7134 [Elden Ring] Do you deem the German localization of the game excellent or terrible?
[I play Elden Ring in Japanese (as it is my native language), due to From Soft being a Japanese developer, so is Miyazaki himself.]
The most striking difference is within how they address the main protagonist (you as the player), as in Japanese he or she is referred to as 褪せ人 (lit: "verblasste Person") from the NPC dialog and cutscenes, however in the official German localization, it's: "Befleckten". In regards to the Japanese original, the kanji used is 褪 + 人 but 褪せ is from the ichidan verb:
Legendary Armaments:
*1 In Japanese: マレー家 ("Haus / Familie Marais" already states that it comes from a family of executioners who resided in the shaded castle.)
*2. The presence of Japanese 世界 ("welt") + 喰らう ("essen") then with a portemanteau of the Kanji 王 ("König / königlich") + 笏 ("zepter") forming the word 王笏 [おうしゃく].
*3. From Japanese: 大剣 literally means "großschwert" followed by the noun 接ぎ (lit: "Veredelung") with the word 剣 ("schwert"), as you can see the literal translation from the Japanese name insinuates that the boss used it during battle, as you already fought him, you obtain it after defeating him.
*4. From Japanese: 遺跡 means "Ruinen" (as in abandoned or in ruins) insinuating that the sword is created from ruined stone.
Bosses:
*1. The Japanese title for Godfrey uses the kanji 王 ("König") since he is the elden lord, as opposed to German: they replaced that with "Eldenfürst" [エルデ王子] but the overall expression from the original Japanese is not connotated in German.
*2. The meaning of 忌み isn't conveyed correctly (in both Margit & Morgott) as it literally means "Trauernde" alone, but in the context of the game, it is connotated as "Abscheulichkeit" (from Japanese), which in no way it means "Grausame" So it is obvious that German just got it from English. Also, the presence of both Kanji 鬼 ("Oger / Geist") and 王 ("König") indicates their differences in hierarchical status too. Morgott bares the kanji 王 while Margit has 鬼 within his title, but in German (& English) the one with Margit is lost in translation.
*3. The word 軍兵 is a portemanteau comprising 2 kanji from ゴドリックの軍兵 implying that he was a soldier serving under Godrick at one point, as 軍 ("Armee") including 兵 ("soldat") forms 軍兵 (lit: "Kampftruppen") but this nuance from Japanese gets lost in translation.
*4. Fortissax's title in Japanese is a portemanteau of 2 kanji that have seperate meanings: 死 ("Tod") + 竜 ("Drache") forming the word 死竜 as he has the ability to inflict death blight towards the player, hence the presence of the kanji 死.
*5. In Japanese, Maliketh's title from his first phase has the word 司祭 ("Priester") instead of him being addressed as a cleric.
*6. The Japanese version of Rykard's title bares the kanji 君主 ("monarch / souverän") while in German it has been adapted to "Fürst" instead, but the intended meaning is lost from Japanese.
*7. The word 番犬 - literally means "Wachhund" while a portemanteau of 還 ("zurück") + 樹 ("Baum") are 2 kanji used together coining the term 還樹 - literally means amongst the lines of "Rückführung eines Baumes an seinen ursprünglichen Standort" and の is just a word particle present in Japanese.
*8. Elemer's Japanese title has 2 kanji: 鉄 ("Eisen") + 茨 ("Dornen") forming the word 鉄茨 (lit: "Dornen aus Eisen") saying that Elemer has thorns encompassing his iron armor. (Which is not conveyed directly in German.)
*9. The word 百智卿 beside Gideon's name is comprised of 3 kanji: 百 ("hundert") + 智 ("Weisheit") & 卿 ("Herr") - but 卿 is keigo as it is a very formal word (you only encounter this word with mainly Feudal Japan or medieval subjects.), the word 百智 literally means: "alles wissen" when combined, as the kanji 百 is used in a personified manner (as it is metaphorical) in conjunction with 智 ending with 卿.
*10. The word 写し means "duplizieren" followed by the kanji 身 ("der Körper (eine Person)") + 雫 ("Tropfen (Wasser)") as it spawns with the animation akin to a tear drop, and の is just a word particle present in Japanese, forming the word 写し身の雫.
*11. Astel's title in Japanese states 暗黒の落とし子 ("Der finstere Bastard") while the German localization went for Stern der Finsternis.
*12. 星砕き means "Sternenzerstörer" comprising from the godan verb: 砕く (lit: "zu zerschlagen / zerstören") and the kanji 星 ("Sterne") - coining the word from 2 kanji: 星砕き. From German, why did they change it to "Sternengeißel"?
*13. From Japanese, the ichidan verb 爛れる (lit: "Wunde / entzündet sein") is present in the tree spirit's title, while 樹霊 ("Baumgeist") is a portemanteau of the Kanji used 樹 ("Baum") - it's a fancier kanji since 木 is commonly used, but 霊 ("Geist") is also used in conjunction.
*14. Godrick's name in Japanese has the word 接ぎ (lit: "Veredelung") present, followed by 木 ("Baum") which is used here, as opposed to 樹 - found in for instance 黄金樹 ("Erdbaum").
*15. Maggie's Japanese boss title bares the kanji 亜人 (lit: "untermenschliche") to insinuate that she has human qualities but not considered a true human, due to her appearance.
*16. The presence of Japanese 乙女 ("Mädchen") mentions that its a female, followed by 人形 ("Puppe") but starts off with 人さらい (lit: "Entführer").
*17. In Niall's Japanese title, he is referred to as 宿将 (lit: "Generalveteran") states that he an experienced commander who has already endured battle, you even get the veterans prosthesis as a talisman after defeating him.
*18. Putrid Grave Warden Duelist's title in Japanese consist of the following words: 闘士 ("Kämpfer") + 墓守 ("Grabwächter") along with 腐敗 ("Fäulnis / Korruption") since he can inflict scarlet rot towards the player, as well as being in the catacombs, due to 墓守 being present.
*19. In Japanese, the word 眷属 (lit: "Unterhaltsberechtigte") implies that he's a dependant (you can see him at the sanctum in upper Caelid), as he just remains idle until the player hits them which initates the battle.
*20. Again, the word 忌み is not expressed correctly, as referenced from Margit and Morgott. In this case, the addition of the godan verb 潰し can loosely mean amongst the lines of: "als Abfall zu betrachten" inplying this boss is outcasted.
Locations:
*1. From Japanese: 学び ("Lernen") + 洞窟 ("Höhle") implies this is the pit you enter, as 学び indicates, you enter this cave to learn combat skills, as its a tutorial area.
*2. 深き根の底 literally translates to "Tiefgründige Wurzeln" but in German, they renamed it as "Tiefen von Tiefwurz" which is different. From the Japanese adverb: 深く ("tief") + 根 ("Wurzeln (einer Pflanze / eines Baumes)") due to the presence of large tree branches and roots within the area you tread on, followed by 底 ("Boden (einer Grube / eines Brunnens)") as you're underground.)
*3. The word 啜り泣き is derivatve of the godan verb 啜り泣く ("zum Schluchzen"), followed by the word 半島 ("Halbinsel")
*4. The word 王朝 ("dynastie") is present as it is passed down from family, the Japanese name refers to the fact that the area where you fight Mohg contains Miquella's egg, saying that Mohg is Miquella's half brother.
*5. 忌み捨て literally translates to ("Buße (gegen die Trauer)") implying that Mohg is down there, perhaps he was condmened to be underground where you can find him as a boss, as hinted by the word in Japanese: 地下 ("untergrund").
*6. The Japanese name is closer to the English release as indicated by katakana, but in German they renamed it as "Sturmschleier".
*7. The Japanese 火山 ("vulkan") clearly states that you're not far from the volcano, the manor is even close to it. In German, they could've used "Berg" beside its name to make it clear, but it was omitted.
*8. Japanese used 赤い ("Rot") + 獅子 ("Löwe") to form 赤獅子 ("Roten Löwen") ending with the kanji 城 ("schloss") as opposed to German, they just copied it from English.
*9. In Japanese, the kanji 砦 ("festung") is present along with 城, indicating that it is still a castle but at the same time functions as a fortress.
*10. 巨人戦争 ("Riesenkrieg") states that this catacomb hints at the war involving giants, while 英雄 ("Held") + 基 ("Grab") mention it's a memorial dedicated to the heroes.
Talismans:
*1. The word 恩寵 ("gnade / gunst") insinuates that it's a gift from the erdtree that inherits a boost in the player's stats.
*2. The Japanese 青い踊り子 describes the overall appearance from the talisman icon, akin to a dancer dressed in blue robes.
*3. 小瓶 connotates the shape of the talisman, as it is shaped like a small bottle.
*4. 細技 connotates "Zweig (Baum)" as the icon of this talisman is shaped like a tree branch, the word 犠牲 ("opfer") states that the tallisman will disappear once it is used, using that as collateral over losing all of your runes upon death.
*5. 輝石 literally means "schimmerstein" followed by 刃 ("klinge")
*6. The kanji 友 ("Freund") indicates that the talisman has a positive connotation (in a metaphorical sense), while 壺 ("gefäß") illustrates that it is a jar.
*7. 徽章 means "insignien / abzeichen" as it symbolizes that it belongs to the Carian family.
Note: It's difficult to convey directly from Japanese > German while keeping the original nuance in-tact, due to how different Japanese is to Indo-European languages.
The annotations within the original Japanese names are marked with * [numbered] there for further explaination, based on my own understanding to convey it from Japanese.
Since most translations into European languages are obviously from the English release of the game, therefore already loosing the intended meaning.

褪せる
lit. trad: verblassen / entfärben
Example sentence: 日光で看板の文字が褪せた。
(Die Buchstaben auf dem Schild sind von der Sonne verblasst.)
人 (Person)
Combine from 褪せる which is now merged as 褪せ人 [あせびと]I have a rough list of the stuff that is named in Elden Ring, between the Japanese (original) and official German localizations of the game (Though I won't list everything, as it'll be too much).

The meaning of 忌み isn't conveyed correctly (in both Margit & Morgott) as it literally means "Trauernde" alone, but in the context of the game, it is connotated as "Abscheulichkeit" (from Japanese), which in no way it means "Grausame" So it is obvious that German just got it from English. Also, the presence of both Kanji 鬼 ("Oger / Geist") and 王 ("König") indicates their differences in hierarchical status too. Morgott bares the kanji 王 while Margit has 鬼 within his title, but in German (& English) the one with Margit is lost in translation.
*3. The word 軍兵 is a portemanteau comprising 2 kanji from ゴドリックの軍兵 implying that he was a soldier serving under Godrick at one point, as 軍 ("Armee") including 兵 ("soldat") forms 軍兵 (lit: "Kampftruppen") but this nuance from Japanese gets lost in translation.
*4. Fortissax's title in Japanese is a portemanteau of 2 kanji that have seperate meanings: 死 ("Tod") + 竜 ("Drache") forming the word 死竜 as he has the ability to inflict death blight towards the player, hence the presence of the kanji 死.
*5. In Japanese, Maliketh's title from his first phase has the word 司祭 ("Priester") instead of him being addressed as a cleric.
*6. The Japanese version of Rykard's title bares the kanji 君主 ("monarch / souverän") while in German it has been adapted to "Fürst" instead, but the intended meaning is lost from Japanese.
*7. The word 番犬 - literally means "Wachhund" while a portemanteau of 還 ("zurück") + 樹 ("Baum") are 2 kanji used together coining the term 還樹 - literally means amongst the lines of "Rückführung eines Baumes an seinen ursprünglichen Standort" and の is just a word particle present in Japanese.
*8. Elemer's Japanese title has 2 kanji: 鉄 ("Eisen") + 茨 ("Dornen") forming the word 鉄茨 (lit: "Dornen aus Eisen") saying that Elemer has thorns encompassing his iron armor. (Which is not conveyed directly in German.)
*9. The word 百智卿 beside Gideon's name is comprised of 3 kanji: 百 ("hundert") + 智 ("Weisheit") & 卿 ("Herr") - but 卿 is keigo as it is a very formal word (you only encounter this word with mainly Feudal Japan or medieval subjects.), the word 百智 literally means: "alles wissen" when combined, as the kanji 百 is used in a personified manner (as it is metaphorical) in conjunction with 智 ending with 卿.
*10. The word 写し means "duplizieren" followed by the kanji 身 ("der Körper (eine Person)") + 雫 ("Tropfen (Wasser)") as it spawns with the animation akin to a tear drop, and の is just a word particle present in Japanese, forming the word 写し身の雫.
*11. Astel's title in Japanese states 暗黒の落とし子 ("Der finstere Bastard") while the German localization went for Stern der Finsternis.
*12. 星砕き means "Sternenzerstörer" comprising from the godan verb: 砕く (lit: "zu zerschlagen / zerstören") and the kanji 星 ("Sterne") - coining the word from 2 kanji: 星砕き. From German, why did they change it to "Sternengeißel"?
*13. From Japanese, the ichidan verb 爛れる (lit: "Wunde / entzündet sein") is present in the tree spirit's title, while 樹霊 ("Baumgeist") is a portemanteau of the Kanji used 樹 ("Baum") - it's a fancier kanji since 木 is commonly used, but 霊 ("Geist") is also used in conjunction.
*14. Godrick's name in Japanese has the word 接ぎ (lit: "Veredelung") present, followed by 木 ("Baum") which is used here, as opposed to 樹 - found in for instance 黄金樹 ("Erdbaum").
*15. Maggie's Japanese boss title bares the kanji 亜人 (lit: "untermenschliche") to insinuate that she has human qualities but not considered a true human, due to her appearance.
*16. The presence of Japanese 乙女 ("Mädchen") mentions that its a female, followed by 人形 ("Puppe") but starts off with 人さらい (lit: "Entführer").
*17. In Niall's Japanese title, he is referred to as 宿将 (lit: "Generalveteran") states that he an experienced commander who has already endured battle, you even get the veterans prosthesis as a talisman after defeating him.
*18. Putrid Grave Warden Duelist's title in Japanese consist of the following words: 闘士 ("Kämpfer") + 墓守 ("Grabwächter") along with 腐敗 ("Fäulnis / Korruption") since he can inflict scarlet rot towards the player, as well as being in the catacombs, due to 墓守 being present.
*19. In Japanese, the word 眷属 (lit: "Unterhaltsberechtigte") implies that he's a dependant (you can see him at the sanctum in upper Caelid), as he just remains idle until the player hits them which initates the battle.
*20. Again, the word 忌み is not expressed correctly, as referenced from Margit and Morgott. In this case, the addition of the godan verb 潰し can loosely mean amongst the lines of: "als Abfall zu betrachten" inplying this boss is outcasted.

*2. 深き根の底 literally translates to "Tiefgründige Wurzeln" but in German, they renamed it as "Tiefen von Tiefwurz" which is different. From the Japanese adverb: 深く ("tief") + 根 ("Wurzeln (einer Pflanze / eines Baumes)") due to the presence of large tree branches and roots within the area you tread on, followed by 底 ("Boden (einer Grube / eines Brunnens)") as you're underground.)
*3. The word 啜り泣き is derivatve of the godan verb 啜り泣く ("zum Schluchzen"), followed by the word 半島 ("Halbinsel")
*4. The word 王朝 ("dynastie") is present as it is passed down from family, the Japanese name refers to the fact that the area where you fight Mohg contains Miquella's egg, saying that Mohg is Miquella's half brother.
*5. 忌み捨て literally translates to ("Buße (gegen die Trauer)") implying that Mohg is down there, perhaps he was condmened to be underground where you can find him as a boss, as hinted by the word in Japanese: 地下 ("untergrund").
*6. The Japanese name is closer to the English release as indicated by katakana, but in German they renamed it as "Sturmschleier".
*7. The Japanese 火山 ("vulkan") clearly states that you're not far from the volcano, the manor is even close to it. In German, they could've used "Berg" beside its name to make it clear, but it was omitted.
*8. Japanese used 赤い ("Rot") + 獅子 ("Löwe") to form 赤獅子 ("Roten Löwen") ending with the kanji 城 ("schloss") as opposed to German, they just copied it from English.
*9. In Japanese, the kanji 砦 ("festung") is present along with 城, indicating that it is still a castle but at the same time functions as a fortress.
*10. 巨人戦争 ("Riesenkrieg") states that this catacomb hints at the war involving giants, while 英雄 ("Held") + 基 ("Grab") mention it's a memorial dedicated to the heroes.

Note: It's difficult to convey directly from Japanese > German while keeping the original nuance in-tact, due to how different Japanese is to Indo-European languages.
The annotations within the original Japanese names are marked with * [numbered] there for further explaination, based on my own understanding to convey it from Japanese.
Since most translations into European languages are obviously from the English release of the game, therefore already loosing the intended meaning.
In hindsight:
- From the literal translations between JP to DE (in italic) found on second column of the table, and the official translation in German, which one actually stays faithful to the source language?
- Have you played the game in German? If so, how accurate is the translation? (I mean, did they localize it from the source language or English, still resulting in mistranslations?
