Two reasons. First, kila'vrashiv is a shorter term. Second, a concubine doesn't literally follow a wife as a rule, nor are they an attendant or an acolyte. Depending on the circumstances, they may not even be fully subordinate to the wife. I'd probably have more to say about this, but at the...

Breakdown of the word is ahr + -av + -a = to lead / leader + negative / opposite / not / do not / converse (opposite) + "being that does" / "-ist", i.e. "being that does not lead". The most general usage of the word is intended as "follower", with the others being general purpose synonyms. As...

Seems reasonable to me. Looks like I might need to come up with a word for "concubine/courtesan/mistress". Best I've got is kilavrax and that's something else entirely. Maybe kila'vrashiv? (kila'vrash = wife (a more specific term than nonvrash = lair mate/spouse) + iv = false) I don't...

The Wing Commander panel of Nester's Adventures was from Volume 46, the March 1993 edition (page 35); Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster Breaks Loose was the game featured on the cover. They talked about the forthcoming StarFox and Super Strike Eagle for the SNES, among other titles. Me, I liked the...

Armada, y'all - a Shok'lar flying out of the landing bay of Shiraak. You see that image pretty much frame for frame when you fire up the game. It's a really nice re-mastered render. Wish I could've made the party this year, but it corresponded with the first playtesting event my local board...

I can see cracking eggs. Roast chicken would probably be distasteful; don't know about taboo though. Badminton......well................................................... (Heck if I know; there's not a lot of data out there about Firekkans. Feel free to roll with whatever you want.)

Thrakhath says "Ja'lhu vrax hamahar?!?! Ni'h'asuk ri'kahr maks hargar talan, Terran'hra!!!" I think he's a tad bit annoyed...meanwhile, Khasra's sitting over there in the corner trying not to burst out laughing...

I need to mark my calendar for September 26, 2025 for sure - 35 years of Wing Commander. At that point, the game will have been around the same length of time as the entire Terran-Kilrathi War, unless my math is bad...

Yeah, I think yours is good. Didn't quite realize just how dark the scene from WC3 was when I suggested it originally...

This is really a question for @Bandit LOAF; I know the topic has come up quite a number of times over the years. I'd say 5-6 off the top of my head without checking any of the sources, so I wouldn't take my word for it at all.

Hmm...I like them both. Glad I could help you out with the naming.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/wcrpg/images/0/0c/Firekkans.png/revision/latest?cb=20111006173853 Wings might need to come up a bit. I hesitate to mention the length of the beak as well; yours looks fine as is IMHO and it could be that Firekkans have beaks of varying length depending on...

You've got another difficulty - Gar's Emporium (the original one anyway) gets dumped into a black hole while our intrepid heroes are in the process of making their escape. Abram is likely dead by the post war period; I got the impression that he wasn't all that young in Action Stations. Tack on...

Sorry, it's an expression; I meant that I agree wholeheartedly with your initial assessment.

If it's at all like the original Gar's Emporium (the one in Action Stations, I mean), I imagine not...

It's okay to pet Crown Prince Gilkarg, as long as you're okay with being invited for lunch. And by "invited for lunch", I of course mean that you personally are being served as the main course... 😈 😈 😈

I'm going to go with "yes" in answer to the question; after writing that down yesterday I spent a fair amount of time considering and re-considering, and re-considering what I wrote down to make sure I was telling the truth, and after all that thought put in, I still think that's right. I think...

I think this is close to being right. A journalistic report would contain nothing but facts - the reporter's opinion wouldn't (read: shouldn't) factor into the story at all. A documentary would contain facts as presented through the lens of whoever's producing it, so it may contain a greater...

The third option is grammatically incorrect - but I assume that's the point. The second is correct (if a bit formal). As a multiple-choice Q/A, it's good.

I recall a course with a title that was something of that nature while attending grad school - my M.A. is in Journalism. So it certainly sounds legit to me.
