Commonthroat Lexicon
This lexicon is compiled from an Obsidian vault. Some terms have etymology entries that link to other terms, and these links may be broken. The best way to search for an entry is to use your browserβs page search function (ctrl+F).
Because Commonthroatβs βRomanizationβ, such as it is, is case-sensitive, and because HTML hyperlinks are case _in_sensitive, Iβve had to resort to using the mathematical alphanumeric symbols Unicode block when presenting Commonthroat words. If you want to find a specific Commonthroat word on this page, you can use a tool like this to convert ASCII into mathematical monospace letters and paste it into your browserβs in-page search.

ππππππ
Pronunciation
chuff, short high weak growl, chuff, short high weak grunt, huff, short low weak growl ## Etymology
The first element is likely [ππ | ππβ] (a prefix forming the nomen patientis). The second element is either [ππ½π] (to crush) with a reduced vowel, which in turn is related to ππππ (paw), or it could derive directly from ππππ. Compare [ππππ½ππ] (powder). There is a folk etymology relating it to a personal name, usually a child of the supposed inventor or discoverer of the material. ## Definition

Likely related to ππππ (bark of a tree), though the exact relationship is unclear. It may be due to the fact that the bark of certain trees can be pulled off in long, broad strips similar to tape, or the fact that some trees have bark with medicinal properties. ## Definition
Noun
- tape
- bandages
Lore
A singular bandage or stip of tape is referred to as a [rhrLrg]. There is a famous brand (more a category, really) of tape called [ππππΆπ], which is short for ππππ π ππΆπΊππΉππ, which means spacerβs tape. A story, likely apocryphal, says that while a mechanic was making repairs to a ship in a pressurized dry dock, he covered a temporary access hole in the hull with spacerβs tape so the hull could be painted. He went home expecting the painters to remove the tape and re-seal the hole after they were done painting.
The ship later left the dry dock to test the repairs. A few hours into the test, a crewman came flying into the cockpit, barking at the captain to return to the dry dock. Rather than removing the tape and re-sealing the hole, the tape was merely left in place, covered in the same paint as the rest of the hull. The only thing keeping the atmosphere from venting was a bit of adhesive.

Definition
Noun
- tree sap
- amber
- a matrix, a liquid or gel medium in which something is suspended
- gel, especially neurogel
Lore
The manufacturing process for neurogel was for a very long time known only to the missionaries, who jealously guarded it even from the rest of the Claravian hierarchy. Especially during the age of decadence, the missionaries feared the hierarchy would find a way to monetize it like they did the other discoveries of the research monasteries. Batches would occasionally find their way into the paws of gelhead parlor owners and other unscrupulous characters, but the secret to making more stayed hidden until the War of Dissolution.
After the Partisans expelled the missionaries from the outer belt, they seized the equipment and documentation needed to manufacture neurogel and began producing it themselves to use in oubliettes and for the mini mechs used by Immortals. The Allied Worlds has alleged that they also aid the smuggling of neurogel across Focus to fuel a growing substance abuse crisis.
ππππππ
Pronunciation
huff, short rising weak growl, chuff, short high weak growl, short low weak growl ## Etymology
πππΉπ (many) + ππΉπ (part), with both roots having reduced vowels ## Definition
Noun
- polymer
- plastic, especially polymerite
Lore
Polymerite is a substance that can be molded and worked like plastic while possessing the strength of steel. It can be easily spotted by its fluorescent translucent appearance, with different grades of polymerite being colored neon pink, orange, blue, or green. It is a common misconception among the general public (on four legs or two) that the different colors are an industry standard to identify the grade of the material. In fact, the particular color arises due to the molecular structure of the polymerite itself.
Less scrupulous manufacturers can add dopants to the mix to make a lower grade of polymerite appear higher quality than it actually is, and it is of course possible to paint it should hot pink or orange not be desirable for a particular application.
Polymeriteβs singular appearance gives a lot of yinrih tech a distinct late 90s aesthetic.

- A wild animal
- a feral domesticated animal
- An βindigenousβ yinirh, a member of a any number of deliberately self-isolated groups, usually flavors of Atavists, whose descendants have forgotten about the outside world and who live a primitive lifestyle.
- (Of humans, unintentionally offensive) A member of a native or aboriginal group, especially an uncontacted tribe such as the Sentinelese.
Lore
Yinrih ignorant of human history or politics often refer to members of Native peoples as πππππ. This is an unfortunate choice of words resulting from a misunderstanding of how human cultures developed. While the yinrih are not and have never been politically united as a species, they never sundered completely into isolated cultures, either. Groups such as the Atavists, Primitive Wayfarers, and other sundry self-isolated peoples resulted from a conscious decision to cut ties with the outside world at some point in the past.
It should be noted that the term πππππ is actually a self-designation, likely coined by groups of Atavists, reflecting their desire to return to being nonsapient animals. The word as applied to human groups is not usually intended to be derogatory, but yinrih have nothing else comparable to human first peoples. Itβs just really unfortunate when used this way, and vulpithecine anthropologists (yes they exist) consistently use more descriptive terms roughly equivalent to βfounding peopleβ or βoriginal inhabitantsβ.
It should also be noted that humans likewise mislabel cynoid πππππ as βnativesβ even though Sweetwater, where most such groups can be found, is a terraformed planet and a member of the Allied Worlds.

Noun
- outlet

- flue
- exhaust port
- a decorative skylight placed above the star hearth in a lighthouse
Lore
The decorative skylights placed above the star hearth in most lighthouses are an important part of Claravian sacred architecture. Historically, when hearthkeepers tended actual fires, these structures were flues that allowed smoke to escape the building. When the clergy transitioned from open fires to combustion-based power generators and eventually star hearths, these flues remained as a decorative feature. These windows may be plain or stained. Stained windows typically depict a First Contact motif, a yinrih looking up into the stars, greeting an alien outside of the frame.
The Eternal Hearth, which is the principle lighthouse for all of the Bright Way, located in the City of Eternal Noon on the substellar point of Hearthside, has a prominent skylight that allows sunlight to stream down onto a large mirror, symbolically making Focus itself the star hearth for the lighthouse.
The orbital monasteries of the Knights of the Sun have a similar feature, a long window facing nadirward toward Focus, dividing the nave of the lighthouse into two inward facing choirs that chant back and forth to one another.

Noun
- (agriculture) a male wormcow possessing its trophic limbs
- A protective or diligent sire
- A generous person
Lore
Wormcows are livestock bred for their meat. However, the meat is obtained without slaughtering the animal. Wormcows are normally limbless, but after mating , the male grows several pairs of girthy vestigial limbs that the calf eats before transitioning to herbivorous grazing as it matures. Domestic wormcows have been bred to grow far more pairs of much larger trophic limbs than their wild cousins.
When the calf is born, the limbs are cut off from the nervous and circulatory systems, effectively dying to allow the calf to eat them without harming the father. The muscle tissue contains high levels of capsaicin to deter insectoid carrion eaters, making the meat inherently spicy.
Domestic wormcows regard their yinrih masters as their calves, and gladly give up their trophic limbs.
