Might not be a bad idea to check dictionary.com first to make sure the words you ask about are really made up.

EDIT: Sorry about the awkward timing. Posts were moving really fast. I just saw some questions about regular words that could have been better answered by a literal definition than a guess based on its use in lore (and probably would have made its meaning in lore more clear too).

Nevermind.

epic ninja repost argh!

the whole word might not be but the individual components are, allowing at least some basic understanding of its meaning. Biosis = a particular mode of life, way of living. Neo = new (duh). Nym = a name invented by or provided for an Internet user to conceal the user's identity or create a new identity. therefore i would assume that neonymbiosis is something like taking a new name and with it a new identity, perhaps in relationship to mantling or to the recycling of souls.

That uncertainty about it's meaning made me ask anyway. The words "protonymic" and "neonymic" (especially) made me guess what you guessed. I'm just uncertain about its exact meaning.

The Dwemeri children's rhyme is interesting enough to me. I wanted to know what daguerrotype means in the context in that text. Mainly cause I'm too lazy to do it on my own.

:hehe:

In Dante's "Inferno", the Malebolge is the Eighth Circle. Apparently a malebolge is an "evil ditch". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malebolge

Maybe the word is related, only spelled slightly differently?

Ha.

Please please link please.

No need for laziness. It means what it means.

http://palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1915&view=next&sid=4f9b060ccd641b5fbcb5b5e2903d073dfrom a google search. It's from about one year ago and only half way down the first page.

Incidentally, I like the suggestion that subforum description creates. Program your own bible!

Well as poet, not-Loremaster my reading of 'En anti o morph' was set out thus and sensed via the plodding of multilingual syntax that I first noted in Latin and Ancient Greek. Thus En = 'in' - The French 'en' - as in 'en route' admixed; 'anti' = 'before' or 'against'; 'o' is either 'of' or the declension 'o' that can most often be the plural nominative or vocative cases, singular dative case: 'to or for', ablative case: 'by, with or from' or when preceeded by 'i' as it is here the genetive case which adds 'of' to a word - from the Latin; morph = change, Greek.

Thus it might read 'Chinese format' as - 'starting opposition on the path to change'. The word 'path' here I read in because 'en route' is so familiar and carries a useful sense - call it the silent p. My take on it takes massive liberties, but I link that into the nature of magica and the ancient spirits - which feels very much about the plasticity of the organic in the face of the spiritual - in this case though physical and spiritual violence.



edit: Malbioge - the word itself is reminiscent of Fir-Bolg ... ancient enemies of the Sidhe. Also a vague memory of a book called the Malbogion ... a book of ancient (mythic?) Lore from I know not what source ...

But where I read bio in ES words I think back to the nature of magica and the ancient Spirits of the Void ... and their transformation into the creatures of the mundus. Thing being the fun question: what keeps them separated and 'mundane' as they are? What keeps them from coalescence?

The wikipedia gives this definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomorph

that's wonderful sironj

I don't mean to sound harsh here, but there is no need to involve twenty seven different declensions of both Ancient Greek and Latin (ignoring the fact that an adverb isn't even declined), when a quick Google search would have sufficed to reveal that http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/enantiomorph stems from the Ancient Greek ἐναντίος (enantios), 'opposite' and μορφή (morphē), 'form'.

Thank you for the new link Adanorcil, it seems you and syronj found two links:
yours current link =


And syronj's link has now become:



~This is why I tend to shy away from wikis. They are fun to contribute to and often useful (why did you not consult one on page 3 for your contributions?) but as a user you never know if someone has altered something vital before anyone else has had time to verify it. But in this case syronj found the mother lode and then someone jumped in and changed everything in the wiki itself. However I find the new application to chiral fascinating too and possibly useful in this forum at some point.



In addition to the earlier technical description for paleonumerology - I would like to think of it as the study of deeply buried numerical structures and relationships.

Indeed...

I know I necromanced the hell outta this thread, but I did that because I'm having a hard time defining some of those words, mainly Malbioge and neonymbiosis (though I'm confident I know neonymbiosis now). I did a good bit of searching and still couldn't find an exact definition of Malbioge.

edit: Lil' grammar clarification. Meant an exact definition of Malbioge, not neonymbiosis....

And it's our fault FOR EATING TOO MUCH TURTLE SOUP.

If I die due to the immortal jellyfish invasion, one of YOU must bioengineer the return of green sea turtles. But only if they remain eternally young. Young green sea turtles are still omnivores, and would be natural predators for the immortal jellyfish. advlt sea green turtles turn into herbivores. So your new version can't mature. Also, you have to bioengineer them, because they're all gone.

"I HOPE YOU LIKED YOUR SOUP, [censored]TARTS, NOW FACE THE JESUSFISH."

It'll be like that totally-[censored] movie, "Underworld", only immortal jellyfish versus eternally-young green sea turtles.

...and deep underwater.

...with no hotties.

...and more convincing delivery.

Has anyone worked out the implications of the "The Aurbis is an Immortal, Aesixually Reproducing Jellyfish" theory?

Initially it seems like it could be used to explain much of the underlying metaprinciples of aurbic reality.

And come on, immortal jellyfish!

That post was... quite scary, and congrats for making my wife ROFL.

Okay, trying for pedantry here, but maybe neonymbiosis means then the process of becoming immortal through the power of names. Something like: if you know your True Name/New Name, you can become renewed.

Bows to the sensei before MK disappears again

Edit: MK's idea below of "torturing for being immortal" reminds me of the fate of Mankar Camoran's followers in "Paradise". Probably I'm reading too much into it, though.

Okay, so this, like, totally has me going.

1) It pisses me off that something else achieved immortality first. [censored] that. And jellyfish of all things. C'mon. The silliness is laughing in our collective human faces.

2) It has driven me to brilliance: immortal jellyfish gasoline. Imagine. You fill your car, right? And then when the gas runs out? It becomes gasoline again!!11!!!!

So, between revenge and saving the world, I've hit 5:

5) We bioengineer the immortal jellyfish to only partly contribute its "magical being" into immortal gas, see. The rest of the immortal jellyfish is, like, tortured for being [censored] immortal! A perpetual motion machine that can tell Saudi Arabia to screw itself while also keeping Nature where it belongs: SUBSERVIENT.

Screw the eternally-young green sea turtles. NO ONE'S GOING IMMORTAL ON OUR DIME EXCEPT US, OCEAN.

Neonymbiosis: Nym is the nickname a boy who lived down the riod from me in the 60s. His dad, who was a lawyer, gave it to him, so it must be very scary.

Neo - new/renewal
Nym a knickname - a name - what is in a name? Identity?
biosis - as in symbiosis = is living together amicably or in a mutually useful way, but here it is nymbiosis - someone said something earlier - will edit it in.

So the word requiring definition is nym ...

Nym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nym may refer to: ... an English affix; Nym server, a pseudonym server which provides untraceable email addresses; Nym, an alien character in Star Wars; The Nym, a race of artificial humanoid sentient plants from the Age of Legends in The Wheel of Time fantasy book series; Nym, a minor figure in Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor; Nym, a character from the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons; Nym, a Corporal in Shakespeare's play Henry V; Nim, short for Nimrod, a reptile in the television series Surface

Well it looks like affix or untraceable e-mail addresses. Patronym - A patronym or patronymic, is a component of a personal name based on the name of one's father, grandfather or an even earlier male ancestor. A component of a name based on the name of one's mother or a female ancestor is a matronym. Each is a means of conveying lineage. During singular naming there was a considerable time of loose patronomization before they became a formal part of a person's name in the 1700s.




Well I like dumbkid's stuff on this one - Now that's fun! And why not seeing as it goes somewhere?

If you can have a Gaia - why not an entire 'cosmos' - the Aurbis. Especially where there is something like magica? But apply the Pelinal mulipartite cloud being thing to it. So Pelinal might then be an example of what happens when the cloud gathers or is channelled into a concentrated form. And looking at the way that the Ancient Spirit's infused with magica in the Dawntime changes and split into new beings ... neonymbiosis has that feel to it.




Well this one could be made easier - The Lee Cosmin Band - 1970s North London based band that toured Britain for several years often co-starring atlocal pubs with the Clash et al, before securing a record deal with the Polydor Record Company. Cosminach? Obviously this is the manner in which the band drew energy from the audience in response to the rockin performances. .. and the basis for pulling all those birds in the audience

MK: Finding Nemo. On crack.
I love this, for the sheer amount of big words. maybe im just high on cheap M&Ms but i could totally make an aligory for life on nirn outa this [censored].


1999: youre swimming in circles trying to redefine the definite.

[edit] yep, it was the candy.

"small colonies stolonal, monosiphonic (simple stem), larger ones erect, irregularly branched and increasing in diameter from base to apex, polysiphonic (compound stem); branches basally adnate to hydrocaulus or other branches, then curving away at an acute angle and becoming free; hydrocaulus and hydrocladia covered by a firm bi-layered perisarc, mostly encrusted with detritus and algae, terminating below hydranth base; hydranths terminal, naked, elongated, fusiform, with 12?38 filiform tentacles scattered over distal three quarters of column, proximal ones shorter than distal; hypostome elongated conical; medusa buds arising mostly one by one from short pedicels below hydranths, pear shaped, enclosed in perisarc."

YESSSSFACEOFGOD.

Also, after awhile of torturing the hubris-ridden immortal cephalopods IN OUR CAMAROS we'd offer them a choice for some of them to be free, as long as they tell us their filthy secret.

"Work for us or work with us," we will say.

And give them vocoders to answer, but only in English, with the implied understanding that refusing to answer in English is the equivalent of submitting willfully to being subjects of our TORTURE FOREVER-GAS FREE ENERGY INITIATIVE.

This can happen; we have a black President now. [censored] you, Water Jesuses.

More importantly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVu2cX0jEYk&feature=related? (What Would Sammy the Salmon Do?)

Sersly, 4 packs of M&Ms for $5 at CVS. what kind of deal is that?

On a on-topic subject, i view the whole neonymbiosis thing kinda like forum usernames. if i get baned from this one, or simply decide to abandon it, i get another one. It is still me, but a separate identity. would you know the difference? you certainly havent so far.
