- agents
- an automaton, whether physical,
logical, or virtual,
that specializes in a service. On Yeibichai,
the Mirnaya Direvnya
supports the following automated agents for its human residents (language=Yeibichai/Em-Deh):
- agent-for-assurance
- a physical link that
verifies the user of an entrance through DNA sampling;
- agent-for-connection
- a combination of 'wares (hard, soft, and firm) that ensures that an Em-Deh
entrance, llevar or
stationary, stays connected to the Mirnaya
Direvnya, by wired or wireless means;
- agent-for-comparing
- displays differences between data objects;
- agent-for-culling
- used to filter a communication stream, this agent looks for patterns
and can divert, or copy, any packet matching the pattern;
- agent-for-evaluation
- designed for tests, the agent matches interactive answers from a
test-taker to the answers specified by the test-giver; can be adapted to
instruction as well;
- agent-for-identification
- not restricted to anshin use only; accepts
one or more arguments describing an individual and responds with the
identified individual's history, including incidents, addresses, combine
affiliations, and so on; parameters include video of face and maybe
body, voice, Em-Deh
identifier (based on DNA);
- agent-for-indirection
- traces external hyper-links and database pointers;
- agent-for-location
- traces a specific person's zhuhndí
location through his/her current access to the Em-Deh;
- agent-for-multifaceted-queries
- like an agent-of-limited-questions, but more capable: knowledgeable
about data of all kinds, formatted and unformatted, character-based and
digitized, public and private, with access both intelligent and brute;
with appropriate proxies, can attend and analyze will-hears
for answers; can perform crypto-analysis, applying a thorough set of
skeleton keys to all coags it
can find, thereby targeting common methods of encryption, all well-known
and -documented;
- agent-for-recording
- an agent that takes messages of different kinds;
- agent-for-security
- a trusted agent that implements the security architecture;
- agent-for-selection
- a variant of agent-for-trade (in fact, they can act in this capacity),
this agent ensures that a Collective's vote is complete, accurate, and
legitimate; includes an agent-for-assurance;
- agent-for-trade
- the ubiquitous machines that keep track of all transactions; includes
an agent-for-assurance as well as financial connectivity;
- agent-of-limited-questions
- used for research, this agent has a list of places to visit and a list
of questions to ask; it records the answers and returns results to its
client; the questions can be an abort-if series: abort if answer is no;
continue if answer achieves results; excursions can be scheduled and
iterative; used to watch will-hears;
- agent-of-priorities
- used to manage inbound traffic, the agent understands priorities
(associated with sender by name or by position, associated with topic
with synonym assistance); traffic with priority:
 | greater than 0 is let through
| less than 0 is rejected with priority-specific cover message; can
also be forwarded to user-related anshin
| equal to 0 is left in wait bin

agradable
agreeable, nice (language=Espańol: pronunciation=ah-grah-THAH-vleh)
ajándék
gift (language=Magyar; pronunciation=âyaandaik, where â is
"shorter, darker than a in card" and aa is "long, as in are,
father, but more open") [Magyar-Angol, Angol-Magyar Szótár
(Hungarian-English, English-Hungarian Dictionary), edited by Tamás Magay et
alia, New York: Hippocrene Books, Inc. with Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest,
1972]
akhal-teke
rare Central Asian horse (language=Teke); cue/www=http://www.turanianhorse.org/akhalteke.html.
Language note: "Turkmen is a general cover term which refers to a
continuum of numerous dialects which differ in equally numerous ways both
phonologically and morphologically. They can be broken into two general
groups: the major or central dialects and others on the periphery. The
following are generally regard as major: Yomut, Teke, Salir, Sarik, Goklen,
Arsari, and Chowdur." (cue/www=http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/profiles/proft05.htm)
Since "teke" matched, I used it as the language of origin.
Al-fuSHa
Modern Standard Arabic (language=Al-fuSHa), translated as "the
pure." According to cue/www=http://www.wm.edu/aata/whyarabic.html,
"To many Arabs, Modern Standard Arabic, known as Al-fuSHa 'the pure' is
the only form of the language which has any worth. The dialects, although
they are the universal means of everyday conversation, are regarded by many
as degraded forms of the language. This feeling is often reflected in
attitudes to foreigners' attempts to learn Arabic: many Arabs, especially if
they are educated) feel that only the Standard form of the language should
be taught, regardless of the fact that Arabs themselves would never
themselves use this kind of Arabic for some of the purposes (e.g. chatting,
shopping) for which they insist foreigners should use it. It can sometimes
seem an uphill battle for foreigners to get Arabs to talk to them in
colloquial Arabic. But don't be put off; the less well educated seem to
suffer less from this prejudice, and you may well find that they will be
more than willing to help you practice." (Holes, Clive and Nadira Auty
and Rachael Harris. 1995. Just Listen 'n Learn Arabic. Lincolnwood: Passport
Books, 60-61)
ambulancia aerea
air-borne ambulances (language=Castellano Chileno)
anacol
act of protecting, deliverance, mercy, quarter, safety (language=SeanGhaeilge
aka old Irish); could be the source of the American phrase "to cry
uncle" as an Ghaeilge (aka Irish) immigrant may have cried for mercy in
his native tongue during a playground tussle a couple of generations ago,
but his tormentors thought he said "uncle"; "more likely, say
ethymologists, some defeated schoolboy was made to curse his uncle —rather
than his mother — before he'd be let go. Why this should be so is anyone's
guess. Nobody seems to know the true origins of the phrase." [Wacky
Questions, Rocky Mountain News,
22 August 1999] [name of language courtesy of cue/www=http://ceantar.org/Web/sean.html]
analco
center line of tlaxtli court
(language=Olmec)
anima
"an individual's true inner self that in the analytic psychology of
C. G. Jung reflects archetypal ideals of conduct" as opposed to persona
which is "an individual's social facade or front that esp. in the
analytic psychology of C. G. Jung reflects the role in life the individual
is playing" [Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary; see cue/www=Merriam-Webster
OnLine] (language=Latin)
Anu
A mid-bright orange mainsequence/dwarf star that is Yeibichai's
primary sun. Orbiting around it are other stars:
The residents of Yeibichai chose these names from the first known — that
is, documented — gods, those of Sumeria, who were responsible for cosmic
order. These myths are probably most influential on Western civilization
through the Semites whose proto-ancestor Abram (aka Abraham of the Torah aka
The Bible) came from Ur. The Sumerians also seem to be the earliest people
who worked with triads of gods and I needed a threesome here. The Sumerians'
great gods were named:
| An or Anu, the sky god, god of Uruk
| En-lil or Enlil, god of air and storm, god of Nippur
| En-ki or Enki, the wise god of the waters, god of Eridu
| | |
But also always present was Ninhursag, the ancient Mother Goddess. The triad
of lesser gods were named: Utu (Sun), Nanna - Suen (the moon), and Inanna
(Venus). Beneath the original Trinity of Creator gods came a secondary
heavenly Trinity of Sun, Moon and Venus. First was Nanna, the Moon, god of
Ur, who was the son of Enlil. Curiously Utu, the sun god was the child of
the moon god, seemingly showing a tendency to regard the more tenuous as the
more important, thus Air, Moon, Sun are the first generations of the gods.
In the south, the sun might have been seen as a too punishing to have been a
primary god. He was honoured mainly as a god of justice. Utu was also called
Babbar and his temple was E-Babbara, the House of the Sun, perhaps the
origin of the word Babylon. Last was Inanna, the Sumerian, Venus, goddess of
love and fertility, plainly an identity of the displaced Great Mother.
anshin
"peace of mind", "tranquility" (language=Kyotsu-go);
on Yeibichai, this word
describes a set of services, provided under contract to a direvnya,
that includes law enforcement, disaster prevention and relief, and health
maintenance. Variations attuned to the original Kyotsu-go
are allowed; for example, Weir chose to label his services anshinkan
to connote "sense of security" as a more accurate description of
the work one can do for another. In addition, goanshin provides a
verb form of the word.
á outrance
to the utmost (language=Français) [Roget's Pocket Thesaurus]
Aphrodite

Arán bocht tí
