Tan Haruchai means We Accept. (Accept We) This is spoken by groups of Haruchai, and means that the group accepts.

Tan Haruchail means, basically, I accept for all. It is spoken by the commander of a given group.

Uh...

The fact that you know this isn't the scary part. It's the fact that you used italics correctly.

*bigger blank* You must not've gotten the memo. I don't know who God is. And what details are there?

I don't know for sure which God the originator of the saying had in mind, but I assume Judeo-Christian. The details means paying attention to things like correct italics. :)

Like "Dog is in the getails"? Or "Dails are in the detog?"
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Haruchai as a liturgical language

Post by Durris »

Ever since I first read Gilden-Fire, "I accept" in
English has felt much too...dilute.

I once weirded out a church friend by saying Tan-Haruchail
instead of "Amen" at the maximally appropriate moment in a Mass.
(He had read TCTC but not internalized it as much, apparently.)
Since then I've tried to say it silently or mutter it after saying
amen in a more public voice.
