Here's some real life lore:
The word music is derived from "muse", the divine daughters and agents of creation
It literally means the stuff of the muse
I think I'll try LotGH
arjuna seems too abstract for me right now
LotGH is like 100 episodes long though
I think that Greek and Latin are keys to preserving the quality of English
They can't be dumbed down, and they are part of English because they fill holes that English on its own has
There is no English word for genocide. Genocide itself is the English word for that concept
There was a man who taught his child Klingon. It's a functional language
but it's not a living language, and this frustrated the child, as he couldn't express himself in such a limited language. In the same way that the state can not replace organic problem solving, engineering can not replace organic evolution of languages
His father spoke Klingon to him, and his mother spoke English to him
and the child eventually stopped speaking to his father because he was so frustrated with the language
Anyway, about Greek and Latin in English
The point is, that we need a language that can withstand attempts to dumb it down, so that future generations won't be handicapped with an inferior language. I have been handicapped because of modern Swedish being inferior to Swedish 110 years ago.
Every population always tries to have a language suited to it, which is why primitive populations when left alone degrade English into pidgin, and our current population is getting dumber due to dysgenics and dysmemics. The language must be able to withstand these attempts so that the intelligent people born are able to have a language fitting to them
it is usually thought that the lavish upholstery of elizabethan english was an outgrowth of the imitation of latin and provencal
that and lower literacy kept it sort of insular to a wealthier class who usually were familiar with ovid or that roman who translated sappho
compare to even 19th cent english there is such a stark change-- words like thee thy thou doth seem silly now but they are much more suited to meter
specifically imitation of an old italian one
sam's back
His paradigm shift 2020 or whatever it was called was depressing to watch because he so accurately captured modernist despair
even though it was comedy about it
all MDE is required watching
I agree Hagel

I learn what words mean and how to make new valid words by looking at roots
Yes
