| == Questionnaire/Template ==
| | '''The "Body Parts in Your Conlangs" template''' was created by Tom H. Chappell on Oct 26, 2006. It has been used to organize biological vocabulary for several conlangs. Below is a list of the conlangs which have used this template, and their response lists. These lists are arranged chronologically as they were created (this entire page was once an archived forum thread, but has recently been reformatted for ease of use). For an alphabetical list of submissions, see [http://www.frathwiki.com/Category:Body_parts_in_your_conlangs here]. |

|
| How many, and who, among us have more-or-less completish vocabularies for body parts in some of our conlangs? And which conlangs?
| | For the actual template/questionnaire, see [[Body Parts in Your Conlangs/Template|here]]. |
|
| |
|
| Here's my attempt at an outline. If you find it incomplete, add stuff; if you find a different order would be better, re-arrange it; and if you find it makes "different" things your conlang would make "same", edit it.
| | It should be noted that for purposes of keeping the list relevant and interesting, no responses from the original thread with less than four words were kept. |
|
| |
|
| | To add your conlang to the list of responses, please create a new header at the bottom of the page and create a separate page for your responses to link to. |

| | |
| Does your conlang, or do your conlangs, use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes?
| |
| Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns?
| |
| (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.)

| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness?

| Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain".

| | |
| I tried to leave out most things that were microscopic (like the Islets), and most things that were not visible on the surface (like the Islets).
| |
| | |
| (I also left out the Organ of Zuckerkandl, which resides in the arch of the aorta. Nobody seems to know what it's for.)
| |
| | |
| (And I left out the voicebox or larynx, and other parts of the speech system. Perhaps I should have included some of them. Others are welcome to, if they feel it would be good to do so.)
| |
| | |
| Bones and blood and stomachs-and-or-intestines and hearts and wombs, however, seemed like I should include them.
| |
| | |
| Blood is often visible on the surface, after a minor injury.
| |
| | |
| If bone is visible on the surface, a major injury has occurred; but one can detect the bone from the outside by touch.
| |
| | |
| Hearts move and make a sound detectable from the outside.
| |
| | |
| The same is true of the stomach-and-or-intestines; furthermore the owner of the stomach can often tell when it's empty, or when it wants to operate in reverse (the name of that sensation is "nausea").
| |
| | |
| Wombs have visible results; and their owners know what's going on in them. (Actually, I've been kicked awake by an unborn baby whose mother slept through the kick!)
| |
| | |
| As for livers and spleens and sweetbreads and so on: They are often referred to in old-fashioned conversations preceding the advent of modern medicine; I assume that the practice of butchery, together with those of surgery and veterinary and medicine, familiarized people with some of them. In some Native North American languages, for instance, an automobile's battery is referred to as its "liver".
| |
| | |
| It would be reasonable for some conlangs not to have all of these, and for others to have body-part terms in addition to these.

| Sorry, it's called Pabappa.

| Quote:
| |
| Why more than one word?
| |
| The ones separated by commas are synonyms. In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet.
| |
| | |
| No word for thigh yet, other than if I wanted to make a phrase that just means "upper behind leg", but I might think of something better eventually. Is this all going to a database somewhere or are you just curious?

| Kuvdamos, I'm detecting a fondness for bilabial plosives. Am I right?
| |
| Yes. Pabappa started as a jokelang three years ago, but I got too attached to it to let it remain as such.

| it looks like you have more than one term which are interpretable by the same "English" term.
| |
| In the latter cases, is that because your conlang makes a distinction "English" doesn't (actually, that I didn't?)
| |
| Or do you have two different synonyms? In which case when is it appropriate to use the one, and when the other?

| |
| | |
| like finger + nail = fingernail or mouth + lower = jaw or head + high = scalp/forehead and so on
| |
| | |
| so an amalgamation of roots or root/locatives usually does the trick (to get as specific as needed) for the Drem

| Many languages have bodypartaffixes that functions as adverbs of manner. He "headbutted" him for example. In mesoamerican languages it is extremely common. Whether they are adverbs or not is a case of definition but they modify verbs that is for sure.

| |
| Seat of emotion: stomach

| Vernaclerians believe that the stomach is the"mental heart"...it makes so much more sense than the heart when you think about it, anyways. In their religion, most of their matter came from their Deitiy's life-force (basically), so everything is their "seat of life"...and they know that the brain is where they think, sleep, etc...the "seat of consciousness."

|
| |
| | |
| The ones separated by commas are synonyms. In some cases, there are synonyms because Pabappa was spoken for a long time over a large area, and since much of its vocabulary was created by loaning from aboriginal languages, even body parts could be called something different from one place to the other. Also, some words are just variations of each other; e.g. blampilpim and pilpi are both from the same root. And in the case of the genitals, there are a lot of slang words as well. Some of them probably have slightly different uses, but I haven't thought about it deeply yet.

| Kind of what I thought. Thanks.

| Vernaclerians believe that the stomach is the"mental heart"...it makes so much more sense than the heart when you think about it, anyways. In their religion, most of their matter came from their Deitiy's life-force (basically), so everything is their "seat of life"...and they know that the brain is where they think, sleep, etc...the "seat of consciousness."
| |
|
| |
| | |
| Interesting; thanks.
| |
| (I have been told -- I don't know whether it's true -- that in "modern western" societies, men tend to see certain parts of their bodies as the "center of their sexual attractiveness", whereas women OTOH see each and every part of their bodies as the "center(?) of their sexual attractiveness". Your Vernaclerians' thinking that each part of their body is the "seat of life" sounds a little like the latter. But do they feel that way about hair and nails? And excretions such as sweat and saliva and earwax?)

| Well, so far, Socialese seems to be taking an impressionistic turn with a strong emphasis on personal meaning. So the concept of "eye" might be expressed as "It lets me see" and "genital" as "it gives me sexual pleasure". So far, though, I haven't worked out all the details.

| == Neo-Khitanese (Kilda) == | | == Neo-Khitanese (Kilda) == |
| The language has a pretty well worked out vocabulary in this area. What I give below is strictly for human bodies; there's often special terminology for talking about the analogous parts of different animals. Body-part terminology shows a lot of irregular plurals (duals, one could argue), and even some odd singular forms where the default is plural/dual. There's a fairly distinct register of "baby speech" which I've included here. The orthography is the sort used in native typography; no distinction of front/back "i" vowels or of vowel length; note that {c, j} = alveopalatal affricates [tS], [dZ].

| Interesting! Is this suppletive, or irregular, or what? Is "soemaef" dual or plural? How are the forms "simah" and "soemaef" derived one from the other?
| |
| | |
| | |
| It's left over from an older plural system similar to German's lengthening system. I haven't worked out the specifics yet, unfortunately. It irregular, but with some method to its madness, as you can see the remnents of the earlier plural system, but also a worn down version of the later -(I/E)b system.

| I'm glad you got my suggestion that people should include anything they thought of, even if I'd left it out.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Maybe? It was buried in my lexicon and I thought I might as well...

| Might be easier on everyone's eyes if you placed the Qatama words adjacent to their English equivalents.

| 1) Did I do that right?
| |
| | |
| 2) Why did you quote yourself?
| |
| 2a) Apparently you had already answered this question in some other post. Where? and what post?
| |
| | |
| 3) The word "nogra feet/toes" reminds me a bit of Russian; but the rest of the list doesn't remind me of any language in particular. Is Qatama intended to be related to any natlang?
| |
| | |
| Again, Thanks.

| The main Psinu belief is that there are three main parts of a person:
| |
| | |
| 1) the physical body, exemplified by the hands (eg. "bring your hands over here" - come here)
| |
| | |
| 2)The conection with God (this is sometimes used to mean your ability to love someone, because it is believe that this connection with God escorts your soul to heaven, so if it's gone, the person has lost their soul), exemplified in the brain (actually, they think it's just a goey good-for-nothing, yet God must have put it there for a purpose, so maybe it's our connection with God?) This is not like the christian 'Holy Spirit, because it doesn't help you in life, it just guides you to heaven.
| |
| | |
| 3) The personality, the 'real you'. This is said to be in the lungs.

| My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here.
| |
| | |
| The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó.
| |
| | |
| The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components:
| |
| * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile)
| |
| * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief)
| |
| * Direction.
| |
| | |
| This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things.
| |
| | |
| The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain.
| |
| | |
| When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart.
| |
| | |
| Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver.
| |
| | |
| I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs.
| |
| | |
| [Edit]Dumb grammar.

| "telumàrel" and "telùmar" look related; are they?

| |
| Are there other relationships I've missed?
| |
|
| |
| | |
| | |
| The suffix "-el" means something like "the source of." So "telùmar" is hand, and "telumàrel" is literally "hand source", or the arm. With "woxh," which is foot, the h is silent and then dropped when the suffix is added making "wòxel," or leg. "Wòxin" is foot with the suffix for what equates to "middle." There are a few more like "ë̀ro" and "ë̀roi" for body and head. "ërotelùmar," meaning hair, is also related believe it or not, to hand, literally meaning "little hands."

| Beftokan's still a new conlang (only about 150 words in the lexicon to date), but it does have most of the points of consonantal articulation noted (linguistics is a living science in Beftok), so I'll list them here:
| |
| | |
| lip - èman [e_M.ma_Ln] (paucal: kaèman)
| |
| tooth - ghîš [GI_Hs`]
| |
| tongue - šuun [s`u:n]
| |
| alveolar ridge - gìkew [gi_M.ke_L.M_L]
| |
| palate - bugháth [bu_L.Ga_Ht_h]
| |
| velum - ughom [u_L.GO_Lm]
| |
| uvula - bháplekh [Ba_H.plE_Lx]
| |
| glottis - durtan [du_L4.ta_Ln]
| |
| | |
| All body parts, including these, are considered to be part of the "human" noun class, and will decline according to it once I post the grammar.
| |
| | |
| -- Bulbaquil, 13 bhal. 875

| I just thought of several terms one might include here. Not all of them will apply to all non-human species, but I've bolded the ones I think are essential, or at least very likely to be used among humans.
| |
| | |
| lip(s)
| |
| gums
| |
| palate
| |
| uvula
| |
| throat, esophagus ("I've got something in my neck" doesn't mean ... quite the same thing)
| |
| throat, thrachea, windpipe
| |
| breast, tit, teat
| |
| nipple
| |
| belly button
| |
| tendon
| |
| forehead
| |
| temple
| |
| bladder
| |
| calf
| |
| butt, buttocks, ass/arse
| |
| pelvis
| |
| spine, backbone
| |
| skull
| |
| rib(s) / ribcage
| |
| | |
| How could you forget "breast" and "ass/arse"?

| Beftokan's still a new conlang (only about 150 words in the lexicon to date), but it does have most of the points of consonantal articulation noted (linguistics is a living science in Beftok), so I'll list them here:
| |
| | |
| lip - èman [e_M.ma_Ln] (paucal: kaèman)
| |
| tooth - ghîš [GI_Hs`]
| |
| tongue - šuun [s`u:n]

| alveolar ridge - gìkew [gi_M.ke_L.M_L]
| |
| palate - bugháth [bu_L.Ga_Ht_h]
| |
| velum - ughom [u_L.GO_Lm]
| |
| uvula - bháplekh [Ba_H.plE_Lx]
| |
| glottis - durtan [du_L4.ta_Ln]
| |
| | |
| All body parts, including these, are considered to be part of the "human" noun class, and will decline according to it once I post the grammar.

| How could you forget "breast" and "ass/arse"?
| |
|
| |
| | |
| "Breast" might not apply to non-mammals.
| |
| Nevertheless it should be included. Thanks for bringing it up.
| |
| "Ass/arse" should obviously apply to nearly any animal, even sea-squirts.
| |
| Thanks for including it.

| Are you talking about "trial number"? (A grammatical number for when a noun refers to exactly three items; distinguished from dual (two) and paucal (few).)

| Well, so far, Socialese seems to be taking an impressionistic turn with a strong emphasis on personal meaning. So the concept of "eye" might be expressed as "It lets me see" and "genital" as "it gives me sexual pleasure". So far, though, I haven't worked out all the details.

| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life?

| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness?
| |
| | |
|
| |
| | |
| My current conculture project is retooling a proto-language, so at the moment I lack a total vocabulary and am not too sure on how to expand the entire ideal. However, I would like to answer these questions here.
| |
| The Paratinó should not be considered an individual, existing culture. There are are little known texts about these people, and what is drawn here is drawn as a common denominator from the cultures that arose from the Paratinó.
| |
| The assumed idea is that any given emotion has three components:
| |
| * A fluid (blood, semen, saliva, bile)
| |
| * An organ (any of them, really; though the genitals, liver, heart, brain, eyes, and tongue are chief)
| |
| * Direction.
| |
| This means that the path to any emotion requires one fluid to be filtered through an organ in a very specific direction. To make it simple, there is no simple way to say "life is seated in the liver," life can be many things.
| |
| The fluid of blood is oftentimes called *adda sēυsŭ, or humor vitae. This sort of phrase stands side-by-side for the root for blood, *φĭlem. When one is lively and active, the blood flows through the heart upward. When one is wrought with anger, it is upward through the brain.
| |
| When one is virile, it is semen (*adda tmilsŭ, the water of birth, or simply sθiwar) that flows downward into the genitals; however whenever when one is lustfull and simply desires self-pleasure, it is saliva that passes through the genitals (saliva being *adda gnāstıtsŭ, the water of desire; also aspa, spit) When on is empassioned with love, it is semen that flows to the left through the heart.
| |
| Consciousness and guilt are bile (*adda graχwisŭ, the water of spite, or graχwisos that flow downward through the liver. When one is reighteous, bile passes upward through the liver.
| |
| I hope this helps, and soon I should be able to expand the vocabulary to name all the organs.
| |
| | |
| @You, Neek ('cause there is only one of you); Oh, yes, it surely does help; thanks. Have you been able to expand the vocabulary yet to any other names of organs that you'd like us to see? If so, where can we look for them?

| I admit I'm kind of surprised the Yuiyo need a word for the gooch.
| |
| I recall a discussion from my younger days about what to call the feminine version of the "gooch"; the consensus was it should be called "the chin-rest".

| When I was growing up, the male version was a "choad." (Hrm, can't blame that on regional differences either, can I?) But since then I've been introduced to the word "taint" ('t ain't one end and 't ain't the other) which appears to be gender-neutral.

| | |
| Well, I wasn't "brought up" with the term, but I'd seen "choad" used to mean "jism" (or "semen" or "seed" or "ejaculate"(the noun)).

| No offense, but I think nearly everyone will vote to let it die. It's not that it's not a great thread, it's just that hey, if we do it for this thread, why not 99 others? And then the museum would just be hard to browse though. I saved the thread to my hard drive though.

| I was happy to move the kinterms thread to the Museum because it contains some very useful information on the way different languages divide up the "kinship space" differently and how this correlates to cultural factors. I can't see any corresponding justification for indexing this thread; it's a nice collection, but it is just a collection of vocabulary from our conlangs.

| Obviously, we need to find a better English word for it. None of this Latiny-Greeky nonsense.

| |

| What purpose does it serve?

| Don't think it has any. But it is a feature often affected by deformities, it seems. A cleft palate may extend the cleft onto the upper lip, thus splitting it along the philtrum (i.e. a harelip), whereas kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome lack the indent entirely. Also, anecdotally, a friend of mine used to have a convex skin-bump thing instead of an indentation (she had it surgically corrected at young age).
| |
| | |
| EDIT: now I realize you are talking about the uvula rather than the philtrum. but I'll keep my Record of Philtrum Deformities for anyone's reading pleasure.

| Here are the words for body parts I have for Terpish so far:
| |
| | |
| Bol — belly
| |
| Jok — eye
| |
| Klit — clitoris
| |
| Kof — head
| |
| Kor — heart
| |
| Liöshan — brain
| |
| Mumbe — butt
| |
| Piej — foot
| |
| | |
| Naturally, the Terps understand biology well enough to understand the appropriate place for the seat of emotion and consciousness (the brain).

| What's the difference between a vein and an artery? Also, I was wondering if someone could tell me what these words mean: gristle/cartilage, sclera, incisor, eyetooth/canine tooth, molar/premolar, shin, orifices? I think you've left out brain. Finnish and Swedish distuingishes between the back and front of the neck. Could you maybe add those, oh and back of the head too?

| -Arteries are the blood vessels that pump blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and thus full of freshly oxygenated, bright red bood. Veins take the blood back to the heart, and are full of deoxygenated, purplish blood.
| |
| -Cartilage is a connective tissue in the body. It's what the soft parts of the nose and ear are made of. Sharks have skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone. When you find some in meat it's called "gristle."
| |
| -The sclera is the white outer layer of the eye.
| |
| -The shin is the bony front part of the lower leg.
| |
| -"Orifice" means any opening in the body, like the mouth, anus, etc.
| |
| -The rest of your words are names for the teeth: On each side of each row there are, proceeding from front to back, two incisors, the canine (eye tooth), two premolars, and three molars. The third is called the "wisdom tooth."

| Same reason why English did? Actually, I was lazy and didn't feel like coining a new word at the time (happens a lot with Terpish).

| Thanks for the informative answer! The only thing I didn't quite understand was shin. Is it the name of the front part of the bone that goes all the way through your lower leg?

| |
| | |
| | |
| It refers more to the leg itself, in front of the bone. When I think of the word "shin" I think of how close the bone is to the skin and how much it hurts to get kicked there.

| As for the other questions - they are much like us, technologically and scientifically advanced, so they know the true function of each organ, but much like us, although they know the true situation, there still remain certain cultural attachments to organs. The heart and guts are the home of the emotions - the heart beats faster with just about any intense emotion, and when it gets even more intense, the stomach aches. Consciousness was associated with the eyes, although it then became associated with the brain because people who had lost their eyes still reported being conscious - the brain was the obvious choice, being behind the eyes, and able to see through them.

| Thanks for the informative answer! The only thing I didn't quite understand was shin. Is it the name of the front part of the bone that goes all the way through your lower leg?
| |
| | |
| | |
| It refers more to the leg itself, in front of the bone. When I think of the word "shin" I think of how close the bone is to the skin and how much it hurts to get kicked there.
| |
| | |
| OK, now I understand. Thx!

| Arteries are the blood vessels that pump blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and thus full of freshly oxygenated, bright red bood. Veins take the blood back to the heart, and are full of deoxygenated, purplish blood.

| | |
| The oxygenation state is the other way round in the vessels going between the heart and the lungs. I dunno how it works before being born.
| |
| | |
| Oh, add "placenta" to the list if you want.

| No philtrums on some Fetal Alcohol Syndrome people, but Ive never heard them have a problem with labial consonants.
| |
| | |
| I'll put up the Izda Mir body parts soon. (They'll be pretty similar to Pabappa's.)

| Heh! This is probably the only language that has three words for urethral meatus.
| |
| | |
| But what exactly is the tear gland? I tried looking it up at WP but I couldn't understnad the picture. And what is meant with bottom and top side? Is it supposed to be the lower and upper half of the body?

| Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a fully developed conlang with nearly as much /u/ as that. Is it because you just like /u/ or did you do it to set this language apart from others in your conworld?

| Heh! I didn't intend it to become so common from the beginning. In Lhueslue every phoneme bears a meaning and /u/ means material. As it happened, almost every noun gets an /u/.

| Museum? Nah; there's no real 'important' information here. Were it a thread about 'how does your language chop up (so to speak) the body .. eg one word for arm+hand etc' then maybe. But the way it is now; nah.

| Tears are the watery, salty secretion that keeps the eyes moist. The bulk of the refracting of light during focussing is done by a thin veil of tears; the lens just fine-tunes it. Tears also contain protein (and FAIK other biological ingredients); that is why it is necessary to clean contact lenses once a day.
| |
| When the eye is irritated the production and flow of tears is increased, to the point that they leak out of the eye; the usual result is to wash out whatever is irritating the eye. When someone weeps, they often over-produce tears this same way.
| |
| Tear-glands (aka lacrimal glands) are in the upper outer corners of the eyes. In the lower inner corners of the eyes are ducts that ordinarily take tears down into the nose; if the tear-glands aren't overproducing, this is where tears usually are disposed of.

| And what is meant with bottom and top side? Is it supposed to be the lower and upper half of the body?
| |
| Just think either "bottom of body" and "top of body", or "lower half of body" and "upper half of body". If you want two pairs of terms, go ahead and provide both. Otherwise take your pick.

| |
| Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns?
| |
| (I left out "adverbs" and "interjections". I assume the "interjections" part is "yes", because some of these are probably good curse-words. I can't think how to make one of these body-part nouns into an adverb, though.)
| |
| | |
| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of life?
| |
| Popular answers are the liver (hence the name "liver") and the heart.
| |
| | |
| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of emotion?
| |
| Popular answers are the stomach, the guts, and the heart.
| |
| | |
| What bodypart does your conculture think is the seat of consciousness?
| |
| Popular answers are the eyes and the heart; but modern Western culture says "the brain".

| OK, I added upper and lower body to my post. I guess my conlang won't have a word for tear gland since it's something you can't see so the conpeople wouldn't know about it.

| I think you'd need things like discussion of (systematic) cultural associations (e.g. your original questions about the seat of emotion, etc.), strong cross-linguistic tendencies (always distinguishing certain body parts or not, words for the genitals being taboo/impolite), and derivation (e.g. how my conlang Old Gzho uses the same word for "arm" and "hand", but can also refer to the arm as the "hand-neck"). Also usage of body part terms for other things, i.e. verbal affixes, locative/directional expressions, etc. And investigating how changes to body structure would affect language, e.g. having no lips wouldn't just mean a lack of labial consonants - you also wouldn't be able to produce rounded vowels, which could have a big affect on the vowel inventory.

| I'm glad this thread is still around--I was thinking I might have to rederive all the Sdannískr body words, which would be irritating (and time-consuming, for that matter). I think this thread has just increased my new lexicon by half, or just about.

| I've got this list for a year already, but I still haven't got words for every single body part on it. On the other hand, I felt free to add some items you left out, Tom.
| |
| | |
| FWIW these items are still missing: tear gland, upper/lower jaw, thigh, shank, shin, calf, the name(s) of the toe(s), the name(s) of the finger(s), ovaries (for that matter, I could also include prostate) and, last but not least, buttock. And colloquial/slang/vulgar words for certain body parts.

| Which items did you add? I'm pretty sure I included, or added, some of those; tear gland, upper and lower jaw, thigh, shin, two of the toes and "other individual toes?", and each of the fingers. I'm not sure what a shank is. I didn't include the calf, I don't think; I guess I should. I included the hips; I didn't distinguish the buttocks from the hips. I didn't get into internal organs that a layman couldn't tell were there and doing things without opening up the body; so that's why I left out the ovaries and the prostate, though I include the womb and the testes.

| My small dictionary has some basic body parts but nothing specific like artery.

| | |
| ANKLE = TĀMA

| ARM = RŌTA
| |
| BLOOD = PĀTA

| CHEST = ShŌMĀ

| I just edited the original post and added the shank, the calf, and the buttocks. I didn't add the ovaries or the prostate. The other things you mentioned three posts ago were already in the list. Some of the names of the teeth are there, too.

| I was struck by inspiration about this a while back, after seeing a tea-towel that had a 64-point compass rose on it:
| |
| | |
| For the Kigdatsi native language I can invent short names for some extremity points, the font/back distinction, some horizontal "slices", and some lines through the body. It should then be possible to derive names for many different parts of the body using a system of dividing up, like compass direction names use. Such a system would be non-natural and "logical", but that is just what I want in my case.
| |
| | |
| People who want systematic body-part names are free to copy or draw inspiration from this system, of course. (I am thinking of Ilaksh in particular. How about it JQP? )

| I'm only familiar with 32 points. I know actual helmsman's binnacles had half-points and quarter-points, but I thought they had only 32 named points; NEWS (4), NE NW SE SW (4 more), XXY and YXY (, X by Y and XY by X and XY by Y (16), for a total of 32.

| |
| For humans I don't believe more than 16 compass points in a plane are natural.
| |
| For a solid I haven't worked it out or thought it out; I can see 48 (in rectangular "xyz" coordinates, the coordinates' absolute values could be in 6 orders, and the coordinates could come in 8 combinations of positive and negative), but can't be certain more wouldn't be possible.
| |
| | |
| For instance if spherical coordinates (longitude and latitude) are used, and my idea of "16 points is natural in a plane" is true, there might be 128 "points" on a sphere (8 latitudes x 16 longitudes).
| |
| | |
| If a "spherical coordinate system" is used, there needs to be some way to indicate or suggest distance from the center. (If a "cylindrical coordinate system" is used, it would be "distance from the pole" that would need to be suggested or indicated.) There'd have to be at least two degrees (body vs extremity), perhaps three (body vs limb vs hand-or-foot-or-digit) or four ("body" might come in two grades, core vs "rind" or some such); possibly a human language might have five or six, I'd have to think about that; a non-human system might have more than six, or be likelier than a human system to have more than three.

| Does Helleran use any of these terms, or reduced forms of them, as affixes?
| |
| | |
| Helleran has affixes for different bodyparts or body materials/substances to create neologisms (although I must work on them).
| |
| | |
| Quote:
| |
| Or as verbs or adjectives or prepositions or conjunctions or pronouns?
| |
| | |
| Some verbs are derived from the words for heart, skin, ear, etc. Many bodypart names have adjectival forms.

| Not a bodypart but a microscopic life-form present in all cells.

| |
| What bodypart does the Megadelanian civilization think is the seat of emotion?
| |
| | |
| The heart, the diafragma, the skin and the stomach. But it really depends on the emotion. From the point of view of the Megadelanian civilisation all four bodyparts play some role in any emotion, although only one has a main role; it is said that that one is the leading organ.

| Quote:
| |
| What bodypart does the Megadelanian civilization think is the seat of consciousness?
| |
| | |
| The soul. From the point of view of the Megadelanian civilization it isn’t a bodypart but the essence of the living body.

| Hmm. I thought halfway between North and North-by-East was "North-a-half-East" rather than "North-a-quarter-East". And so on. You are making the (N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW)-by-(N,S,E,W) be half-points instead of points.

| North, north-north-east, north-east &c are the sixteen primary points of a compass. Halfway between north and north-north-east is north-by-east (that is, the next half-point east of north), and half of that (half of half being a quarter) is north-one-qaurter-east (said point being one quarter of the way from north to the next point in an easterly direction).

| |
| For the Kigdatsi native language I can invent short names for some extremity points, the font/back distinction, some horizontal "slices", and some lines through the body. It should then be possible to derive names for many different parts of the body using a system of dividing up, like compass direction names use.
| |
| For a solid I haven't worked it out or thought it out; I can see 48 (in rectangular "xyz" coordinates, the coordinates' absolute values could be in 6 orders, and the coordinates could come in 8 combinations of positive and negative), but can't be certain more wouldn't be possible.
| |
| | |
| For instance if spherical coordinates (longitude and latitude) are used, and my idea of "16 points is natural in a plane" is true, there might be 128 "points" on a sphere (8 latitudes x 16 longitudes).
| |
| | |
| If a "spherical coordinate system" is used, there needs to be some way to indicate or suggest distance from the center. (If a "cylindrical coordinate system" is used, it would be "distance from the pole" that would need to be suggested or indicated.) There'd have to be at least two degrees (body vs extremity), perhaps three (body vs limb vs hand-or-foot-or-digit) or four ("body" might come in two grades, core vs "rind" or some such); possibly a human language might have five or six, I'd have to think about that; a non-human system might have more than six, or be likelier than a human system to have more than three.
| |
| | |
| The system would necessarily be as irregular and wonky as the body is. Fortunately, their limbs all have the same basic structure, so analogising could reduce the set of needed roots. (It is not the same as the pentadactyl limb system.)
| |
| | |
| TBH I am not sure how I will actually do this, or how similar to the compass system it would actually be, though cylindrical co-ordinates look promising. I mean that (e.g.) there would be no root for "elbow", but something derived from "wrist" and "shoulder". And "knee" and one of the wing-joints would be the same word, with just one part changed because they are on different limbs. Or you could refer to (e.g.) "the bottom half of the upper-right quadrant of your back" in a simple way.

| |
| No. They are not even evolved, but designed. This makes them odd in many ways, though mostly good ones. It also means I will need terms for secondary brains, telekinesis organs, etc.

| Nice. Not available for inter-conworld cooperation over at conworlds.info are you?

| | |
| Why not? I included it in the expansion of the Helleran Lexicon of Human Anatomy, which I will post in this thread as soon as I complete it (what I included on my last post was based on your list): it will include more organs, bodyparts and substances, including the names for all human bones and muscles, and a deep view of every major organ system.
| |
| | |
| The list, as I will show it, represents the medical knowledge of human anatomy as it was in the time where my novels take place.

| And no, this is not a confusing system. Talanese requires articles for nouns pretty much all the time (because nouns themselves don't inflect much), and of course prepositions don't have articles. It all came to me when I was reading a rather interesting text that had something to do with perception of time, progress and motion in Mediaeval paintings in the library. Actually, my whole TAM system is built upon inspiration drawn from that!

| | |
| As for the body parts list, well... I haven't filled out much, yet, because I've chosen to do it elaborately. I have more words for body parts than there are on this list, but I just haven't reached them yet while filling it out!
| |
| | |
| Thanks for providing it, though.
| |
| Here's what I have so far (.htm converted from .doc) http://www.by002.net/~neuteboo/bodyparts.htm
| |
| | |
| I'll get there... some time!

| Two weeks ago I saw it was close of being pruned and I thought of posting here to retain it, but finally I forgot to do it... . Luckily I'm not the only one that will post soon here!

| Might it be a good idea to move this list to someplace it won't expire from, like a wiki? Maybe KneeQuickie? Or frathwiki? Or Chris Bates's linguistics wiki? Or the Conlang Wikia?
| |
| Or even L&L Museum?
| |
| I can move it to KneeQuickie, I think. I probably need Neek's permission first. Same with the others; maybe I can do it, but I probably need the owners' permission.
| |
| But I can't move it to the Museum.

| Talanese motional/locational/temporal prepositions are derived from body parts or other nouns (note, /a/ is actually more central, and /r/ usually is a tap, but they written as such for the ease of transcription):
| |
| Hey, that's neat! Thanks.

| The KQ is down right now and Neek's doing basic training so he probably wont be able to fix it anytime soon. Nevertheless, I think that in the long term that or some other wiki might be a good idea.
| |
| | |
| Edit: the KQ is back; it looks like he has monthly bandwidth caps, and he exceeded it in April, but it's back now that it's May.
