Vulcan Language Guide

ETYMOLOGY 1 > RUBAI BOLAYA-TAPAN T'KYA

RUBAI: verb CHANGE
To undergo a change; to change; that which is a change.

Rubah, is a noun, "wak-rubah" is "time-change" for daylight savings time, or when travelling between time zones.

No root "ru" exists in modern vulcan (Vuhlkansu t'Golic), but these suggest that ru implies action or change.

See also; ru-lut (mouth), rub-zhit (an adjective), rubah-vok (metamorphic rock), rubilau (to adapt), rubilau-vel (adapter 'adapt-thing'), rubilaya (adaption), rubitau (alter, modify), rufah (a benefit), rufai (to benefit), ruk-tor (to exit), rukau (to exit), rukaya (a/its bounce), ruken (an exit).

BOLAYA- adjective ESSENTIAL
In which something is required or wanted.

Bol (critical) is related to "bolik" (vital), and although "Bo" is not a used root, these imply that Bo itself could mean hollow or empty, but isn't part of modern vulcan.

Bosh (full), boshak (filling), boshau (to fill), boshaya (fill, filler, generic substance), bovik (average, adj), bov (an average).

TAPAN noun PROCESS
A series of actions.

Ta isn't a root in modern Vulcan, but resembles implying added efforts, masking, superficiality, excess, etc.

Tar (say, poetic: testimony), tar-tor (to say), taran (saying), tar'kiv (crown), tarul-etek (scaring someone, "audible-we"), tas'a (chaotic), tasadi (hoax), tasau (to leak, to let seep), tasaya (a leak), tash (a control), tashek (control device), tash-tor, tashsu, tath'eu (add, combine), tau (fever), tauf (a ridge), tauk (a cave), taul (a dive), taurau (to amaze), tauvolau (to incite), tav (rate).

KYA noun EXISTENCE
Ultimate abstraction of an object.

KYA is a root compound, as in Kya'Shin (teaching of thought over emotion). Shin is modified from Shi (place), in this case Shin means, one of the things of a place, or element of a location. Not as a noun meaning piece/part of a device. Shinlar would be a very generic term for hypothetical things, or "stuff" albeit oversimplified. Kyi'Shin is part of guided Kohlinar.

See also: Kyi'i (brave), nam (existence, nam-tor sov-masu "it is a rain"), inam-/inamik (existent), Kaiidth (the philosophy of existentialism, anc. lit. "what is, 'is'?"),

Coming Soon

15 November 2018: First Post!
vulcanlanguage.blogspot.com
You are here.

Working on having VLI 2016 course here, either by posts or links to a google-doc account for easy reading/download. Planning to have additional sections for easier learning, i.e. prefixes, prepositions, question words, tourist phrases, like most language guides. Eventually a dictionary in a single page so you can hit-control+f, to search for your word and provide google metadata in the process. reddit.com/r/Vulcan for any questions. Will have next post in a week. I have speakvulcantome.tumblr.com and vuhlkansu.blogspot.com and I'm ready to start an email just for gen-lis vuhlkansu yeet but not until the lessons here are up and ready so to teach abridged versions and prep visuals. VLI was messy and disjointed in the least, and very vital, so I have to recreate it. When uploaded visually improved, the next logical step is to have 1) additional lessons, as the next level, 2) a new words submission/vote section, not for instant adoption but as known/slang options for things the language doesn't cover, or direct people to the right word, and 3) pdfs and or a coursebook. That's the update.

https://www.memrise.com/course/1691501/vulcan-language-institute-lessons/ is the better of the memrise Vulcan lessons, just for sake of fewer periods and typos in the source material to enter when studying. It succeeds also by teaching the words for the sentence first, then teaches the sentence, all the way to the end. The numbers section is a bit annoying, but short. (three, third, 3) and is how I modeled the Romulan courses at memrise, and the same if I were to add a memrise course to supplement, e.g. the 2020 version etc. and would be an entire course, not a collection of small courses/lessons to confuse people searching for where to start. and as mentioned above I post to vuhlkansu.blogspot.com if you're a native speaker. I'm not Mark Gardner, just an enthusiast.

I'm posting the lessons here, to not bore learners with poetry. By the way, ralash-tanaf doesn't rhyme.
