Something tells me the river potter people will evolve to become the Elush. My guess on the timeline is first there is the wayfinder people, then technology advances and they split into the wayfinder people and the river potter people. Then the hungry stones land in the basin, and by that time the river potter people and the wayfinder people had diverged culturally enough that they interpret the stones diffrently, with the wayfinder people leaving as they saw the stones as evil. The ones who stayed behind, the river potter people then evolve into the Elush.
I do really like your videos. The art is very comfy and it often points out something you hadn't thought about enough before, like exonyms and endonyms. Yay!
Ah thank you!! Comfy is such a good way to describe what I'm aiming for with my art :D
yeah it really is very cozy to watch
Reminds me of how the word barbarian was originally referred to non Greek speaking foreigners and now came to mean someone who is ruthless and uncivilized. Funny how things work out that way.
Don't know how this landed in my recommended but it was super interesting and I'm glad I watched
Thank you for giving my channel a chance! :D Glad you enjoyed!
I am from Wisconsin, where the Ho-Chunk tribe is from. Somehow I had never known that the Ho-Chunk and Winnebago were technically the same people. Thanks for referencing so many cultures, from around the globe, and teaching people about them.
I love every single video you make, I cannot put it into words enough
What would an individual who had parents from the Mud Potters and the Wayfinders call the Mud Potters and the Wayfinders?
Would they call them both by the positive names or not?
Probably start off calling both positive, influenced by the parents, but as they're influenced by whichever of the two they're living in, they'll probably start using the exonym for the other one.
@@NakariSpeardane What if the individual spends their time equally between parents?
@@abhinavmelathil366 I think it really depends on which degree at least the languages differ at this point. If the languages are similar enough, then they would refer to respective parents' groups with their endonyms. But if the languages are distinct enough from each other, then either they'll use what is more common in the language of each group. Maybe they'll prefer to translate the endonym into the other language on some occasions
As always amazing work, I'm really loving your in deep depiction of these fictional cultures, they really feel alive!
Your videos are such a delight. They are so warm, like fitting together a quilt
Great video, as always! You also do some conlaging, right? Did you already come up with the Quick People and Real People names in their own languages?
I really love your videos. They’re well-thought-out and beautiful, and most of all, show insight and cleverness into the minds of your people. Keep it up!
Can I just point out that 0:50 looks like one of those lookbooks/starter kit posts?
hell yeah, one of the few youtuers I still watch
Im so excited to see where this goes!
I've been wondering about demonyms all ym life but never knew what it was called, thanks for that!
new nakari video! :DD
Love it!
This perfectly sums up culture
Albanees, there's no double i in dutch
Well this is embarrassing 😅 I thought I'd gotten it out of a textbook and checked it but I guess the ii spelling had just gotten lodged in my mind... Thank you for the correction!
@@NakariSpeardane lol i don't get much out of knowing dutch most of the time
❤️
For my own worldbuilding, the Drow call outsiders the "Salters". In Drow culture, salt is such a precious ressource that nobody eats it, because it is necessary for their oxygen-producing autotrophes to survive in the cave systems. Thus, eating salt is to them seen as a great crime, worthy of the death penalty.
Being obligate fungivores, elves tend to worship decomposition, and their religious views often integrate the process of decomposition as part of their afterlife myths. The most common one is that the soul of the dead can only reach the afterlife after their flesh has slowly returned to the soil. So, most elven cultures call humans something that is etymologically linked to whatever verb their culture uses to mean: "to mummify".
Lesss gooo!
Slavs calling Germans niemcy is the perfect exonym
