Today we’ll look at Wuga’s scenes (known as Wogah in the game), a quirky, one-armed crafter who introduces Takkar to Wugas fnagu “Woga’s claw” and a whole host of upgrades.
Played by the extremely talented (and extremely kind) Ron Kennell, I smile every time I hear him yell “Fmaygan”. Mi-sharm hadarsh!
Wuga:
Mawra Udam!
Stupid Udam!
Stupid Udam!
Takkar :
Mu Winja!
I Wenja!
I’m Wenja!
Wuga:
Nay! Mu supima Winja! Ta dijam-shanti, fmayga-su tagata. Udam-war-way.
No! I last Wenja! You dirt-face, piss-in covered. Udam-just-like.
No! I’m the last Wenja! You’re a dirt face, covered in piss. Just like Udam.
Smarka, Fmaygan.
Bye, Pisser/Pissee.
Bye, Piss-man.
(Fun fact : the suffix -an can mark an agent noun, equivalent to the -er suffix in English. So, shaja “lead” + -an = shajan “leader”. BUT it also marks the recipient of an action, so technically shajan can mean “leadee; the one who is lead”. This is much less common in Wenja. But this is precisely what the -an in Fmaygan is doing. Wuga is really drawing attention to the fact that he peed on Takkar)
Wuga:
Arm-eaters. Udam. Stupid arm-eaters. Ah!
Not-you Udam.
Pissee!
Wenja! I Wenja!
QUESTION-not Wenja dead?
Palhu gwayfarsh, na mayta ti-way.
Many live-they, not crazy you-like
Many live, not crazy like you.
Wuga:
Nam mayta. Winja sakwim!
Not-I crazy. Wenja help-I!
I’m not crazy. I help Wenja!
Pashta? Kala. Saywa shash-way. Hasar Urusis.
See-you? Pretty. Hard rock-like. Blood Oros-of.
You see? Pretty. Hard as a rock. Blood of Oros.
Bal Winja tachisla dahay su. Ma Hasar Urusis mibi chawda.
Strong Wenja weapons make-for good. But Blood Oros-of me-from hides.
Good for making strong Wenja weapons. But Blood of Oros hides from me.
Takkar :
Shash waydam. U nartar hay – u Winja-ha gwayfa.
Rocks find-I. COMMAND west go – COMMAND Wenja-with live.
I find the stones. You go west – live with Wenja.
Wuga:
Buda Fmaygan. Sashwalsu dayshan Hasar Urusis sansha. Hay miyi.
Smart Pissee. Sun-in shining Blood Oros-of Seek. This me-for.
Smart Piss-man. Look for the Blood of Oros shining in the sun. This one’s mine.
(You can see that -an also is equivalent to -ing in English : daysha “to shine” : dayshan “shining”. Very useful suffix)
Wuga:
Pissee! Me strong hut build-you. Now-you strong claw build-I!
When stop-I, COMMAND back come. Then wherewhere climb-you jump-you-and!
Hay-ha shwaldam darfam-kwa.
This-with climb-I jump-I-and.
I climb and jump with this.
Woga-of claw! Found-it!
Good claw! COMMAND high throw, climb.
Eagle feather! COMMAND-REFLEXIVE claw be.useful, so.that eagle feather climb. Good so.that new tool make.
Not tool strong Woga-of claw-like!
Wuga:
Udam beasts old Wenja home attack-they, totem break-they – my-arm eat-they!
Not arm fix-I, but totem fix-I!
Udam gwan, Fmaygan. Chwanta sakman hinacha. Tu nawa Winja chwanta damsham!
Udam kill, Pissee. Totem scraps take. Then new Wenja totem build-I!
Kill Udam, Piss Man. Take back totem scraps. Then I build new Wenja totem.
Wuga:
Back, Back! Almost done!
Dung, tar, Udam blood!
Totem hard make, tree-as.
Done!
Bal. Winja shayu-way.
Strong. Wenja spirit-like
Strong. Like Wenja spirit.
Bal. Fmaygan-way.
Strong. Pissee-like.
Wenja home seems
If you meet someone who smells like piss, then you've simply met someone who smells like piss. If, on the other hand, everyone you meet smells of piss, you might be peeing on them. Aysh ta Wuga.
"Kwayda shanchim, u apa gwam. Tu kwarkwar shwaldata darfata-kwa!"
You're not an Udam. Then you climb and jump anywhere!
I think this might be an error. Or I'm really bad at this. Both are possible.
Whoops! Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
Haha, nice!
have you got a diccionary or similar?
I do personally, but I won't be publishing anything until it's done properly. And unfortunately, doing it properly takes a long time… It'll be posted here first, though, once I complete it.
