You sure have alot of exams!

No more than most... I had the ones in my AP classes earlier; my other classes next week. >>

Wait a second. Matoran don't wear clothing. What do they need weavers for?

I mean, like, okay, maybe making nets (which is a different thing, though kinda similar) or tarp or canvas bags or sails for ships or whatever, but it's not like the amount of weaving that your average human village would need, since they need clothing. I mean, even the huts in Ga-Koro are made of this kinda leaf thing, rather than having cloth coverings like you might otherwise expect. Huh.

Perhaps that explains why. She doesn't have all that much to do, so when there's nothing to be woven, she practices with weaponry, so that she can defend all of the friends that she likes so much. I mean, most of the threats to the Matoran are from the outside, like Rahi and Bohrok and all those other fun Makuta thingies that ravage the island every so often.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, all of the various kinds of Matoran are bound to speak with different accents and dialects at least. The Matoran of say, Voya Nui should logically speak an entirely different language than our friends from Mata Nui. For the dialect of Ko-Koro to have this weird fetish for consonants that the mainstream Mata Nui/Metru Nui language does not is perfectly reasonable.

I've always found it a bit on the odd side that say, Skakdi and Vortixx and Makuta and all those other folks with completely different cultures on completely different islands that only rarely interact with Matoran all speak the exact same language as they do all the time. I understand that they'd know how to speak Matoran, but that they speak it amongst themselves? BAH!

I'm also getting the feeling that older things used X-type sounds more often, but they dropped off as time wore on. Makes sense, since who wants to go "kss" all the time when you can just get rid of it?

Best of luck with your exams!

I agree, the Ko should be more consonant-ly driven because of the harsh nature of both.

And good luck, Muffau.

I <3 Shasa. She has always been a favourite for almost the same reasons as you brought up.

~EW~

Little things like that from the MNOLGs totally inspired me to write fan fiction. Especially because most of my ideas would never be realistically canon.

I did not know the Ko-Matoran names were Finnish. Cool.

Kylma, but him I'm not sure about.)

Kylmää is "cold" in Finnish.

I'd always thought the weaver (Shasa) used her weaving skills to weave the leaves together. Or maybe I'm thinking of another technique used to hold things together with string. I always get confused around these things...

Anyway, I love the idea of the Ko-Matoran having the slightly different dialect. I support it full way . This whole slightly different dialect reminds me of Nuju's bird-speech, though that's a different story.

Really? That's cool! (literally too...) Anyway, I think that you have a point there ToM. I makes perfect sense to me. Oh, and how exactly do you find the names of the characters in the old online games? I never did finish MNOG II, and I barely got into the first one. But yeah, good thinking.

I also wish you luck on your exams, as well as getting over your cold.

~GBG~

Sure, their dialect is probably different.

In fact, there seem to be running themes like that in the other Matoran names in MNOLG2... take, for example, Tiribomba. Tribal-sounding, no?

I actually really like those Finnish names. Much more Bionicle sounding than many of the recent English ones, in my opinion. And the double A's are kinda cool looking.
