  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I luv it Wormie, i really love it. Have not started that thread tho but will get round to doin it sometime this week, the one with translating elvish names. Wolfman I got somethin to say I talked to someone who knows Maori culture and he said that Amenie is translated from English into Maori because the English were into religion back then. The Maori actually had Karakia. I will try to find some and I will post them here so u guys can c what a karakia looks like and I will also translate the word Karakia so u guys know what it means kk.

I no Wolfman ur not familiar with any karakia but here is a real common one. This one they say it before class.

Tukua taku wairua kia rere ki ngā taumata (~ Release my spirit)
Hei ārahi i āku mahi
Me taku whai i te reo Māori (~ that I may learn the Māori language)
Kia mau kia ita
Kia kore ai e ngaro
Kia pupiri kia whakamaua kia tinā (tinā!)
Haumī e
Hui e
Tāiki e!

And here is a link to c other common Karakia. Some have amenie at the end though.
http://orakei.co.nz/tereo/Karakia

Hope that helps understanding Karakia and yes that does make sense. I will try to translate the word Karakia right now if that would help to know what Karakia means. I guess Karakia means prayer but I am not so sure.

Karakia has many meanings, and I know now that Whare Karakia means Church, I neva knew it. Here r Karakias meanings, some may be stunning to know though. Giggles.

Karakia - Incarntation, Invocation, Prayer, Service and Worship.

Another bit of Maori that astounds me is the Reverend (Minister) is by the name in Maori of Kaikarakia. I can kinda translate ur name from Wolfman to Dogman if u want me to, I no Dog is Kuri so its Kuri...... hang on, ill check man kk and that means u can get a bit of jist of maori kk. Kuriuta. Hehehe. Or Kuritangata. Tangata means person. If u c the words Tangata Whenua though it means People of the Land. Whenua means land.

Wormie u may be left out on the Maori mumbo jumbo but I translated ur name, couldnt translate wormie but I checked and translated worm. There r some meanings for worm, take ur pick.

Worm - noke or toke.

The sayin goes like this, I didnt say ur saying Wolfman caus I thought ud get the meaning of the word. A worm will turn, but will it bite? - Tērā te noke ka huri, otirā, ka ngau ia? Hope that helps to understand what it means kk Wormie.

Not a bad idea, I'd say, give it a shot :)
Not sure how many people even realize that language exists though.

What about an entish thread? It might take a while to get beyond two posts though...bearing in mind how long entish speaking takes ;)
Who knows, someone might be making one now, but they won't be done the title until next year.

I don't know if Tolkien made an entire entish language, so it might not even be possible
