I'm glad that you're doing these Tolkien, and I've been reading them for quite a while. If you ever assemble your Matoran dictionary into PDF or physical book format, you should make sure to include these individual analyses in an appendix. You really are similar to J.R.R. Tolkien.

Has Lego heard about your achievements in Matoran linguistics? Somebody from the company has to see this one, at the very least.

[Taia = Matoran Universe]

Sorry Bones; I meant "fanon". We definitely can't make our own official canon here at BZPower, but it just seems like a shame to me that it's likely that no new canon is ever going to be produced if Lego remains the only source of canon.

 

By the way, I like the acronym/new word, and I'd like to use it in my own fan fiction, if that's okay.

I'm definitely going to be going on Saturday.

[Taia = Matoran Universe]

I don't see anything wrong with suggesting a new fan-made name to be established into canon. To be honest, at some point BZPower members and other fans are going to need to start deciding together new canon in place of Lego as they aren't any longer interested in continuing the line.

 

It's helpful to remember that Matoran words such as "Toa" and phrases such as "Mata Nui" come straight from Maori, and it would be pretty challenging to tell the Bionicle story without mentioning Toa or Mata Nui. I don't necessarily believe that Lego should have taken those names in the first place, but now that they have and they're so deeply ingrained in Bionicle, taking new words from Maori shouldn't be an issue.

[A Matoran Dictionary - Second Edition - Volume I]

We need this canonized so bad, it's not even funny. Seriously, when it's done, we need to see about contacting Greg to canonize this. It's so fantastic!

I agree, TNT-Vezon. This dictionary is incredible; it's exactly the sort of thing that the Bionicle fanbase needs to keep the franchise/story alive.
