A hopeless attempt to understand something from Orzese
« on: April 10, 2007, 05:04:31 pm »

So, from what I can tell, Orz, to *germinate* (thrive), needs to have *happy days* (good time), which can be attained by having *fun*.
The thing is how Orz has (or loses) *fun*: *parties*, *dancing*, eating *special sauce*, *squeezing* the *juice*, *camping*, playing *time jokes*.

What's with these? Simple: *Happy campers* that have been "started" by Orz (non-IDF species that have been initiated into IDF by Orz) can have *parties* with Orz.
In these *parties* they consume *special sauce* (*silly cows* turned by Orz into *special sauce*).
(*Picnics* are better *parties* that you can only have in other dimensions)

*Silly cows* may also be *danced* with - Orz can fight with them. They annoy Orz and make him *squeeze* the *juice*, i.e. lose *juice*. *Juice* is some kind of energy obtained by having *fun*.

*Time jokes* played on other IDF races make Orz feel superior, feel the best.

_____________________________________________________________
Also, Orz is immortal: Orz are not *dissolve*! and We are not *dead*. Orz is never *dead*.
_____________________________________________________________
There is another thing to observe too: Sometimes the Orz entity speaks (when they speak about themselves at singular), sometimes the Orz *fingers* speak (at plural). In the latter case, other *fingers* are named *cousins*.
Also, probably some *campers* may become *fingers* too, as evidenced by this quote:
We are not trusting. We like to be *together*.
Do you want to be *together* with us?
Always the other *sad animals* go away, but first we have lots of fun.

(so you merge with the *finger* collective and become another *finger*.

I'd like to explain some other words too:

1. Perhaps after the biggest *party* you will understanding the Orz
and I can showing you other *levels*.
There are so many, but you only *play* on this one.
One is not enough.
We are *friends* now. Never be afraid to *open* enough and *spread the wax*.

*Spread the wax* - In relation to Orz's saying that we are "*sticky*" (cannot move through dimensions), and
"wax" being something sticky, if we "spread" (remove) the wax we will be able to move freely throughout various
dimensions.

2. Yes! We do! Goodbye is the *Game*. Hello!! I am only joke.
It is funny enough. Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*!!!

*enjoy the sauce* - enjoy our stay in a single dimension, which is perceived as a "sauce" (aperitive) for the IDF stage.

3.*Colors* - reality phases: *Time* is not one but many.
*Space* is many. *Colors* are many. You are so *sticky*.

[Dimensions have their *time* (also referenced by the Arilou), their *space* and their reality phase.]
[Also, in the game, the change of background color accompanies the change of the dimension. Also, the "color" is, like, the quality of dimensions, while the space and time is the quantity]

*Colors* may be *smelled* and *nice colors* may be *squirted*; it is unclear what is the difference between the two, but they appear to be some sort of reveling in the laws of the respective dimension.

Interesting to note, there are dimensions that share *space* and maybe *time* with TrueSpace, but have a different "reality phase": the dimensions inhabited by Arilou's "parasites" - Bukowski's "They" - share place with ours. But HyperSpace does not, since we have those portals that connect it with TrueSpace and QuasiSpace (which, too, has a different *space* and *time*).

4. **HYUIVBHJHG**/*Slide* - **HYUIVBHJHG** could not be translated, but it is mentioned by Orz as a traveling method, while *sliding* is changing *level* (dimension). **HYUIVBHJHG** may be the usage of *sliding* for teleportation.

5. Hello - Orz uses "Hello!" as a "magical word" that, he believes, forces us to be happy and stay with him:
Hello!! I am only joke.
It is funny enough.
- he's had enough fun, so he doesn't want to keep us with him anymore, though he makes that joke.

*Campers* like to say `hello' when they *smell* the Orz.
We have learned this. It is *no function* but Orz want to make *campers* happy everyday.
Okay... Hello!! Now you are happy I am sure.

So "Hello!!" makes us happy.

I see that the current interest in Orzese linguistics is minimal.  Grin

Nah, everyone just agrees entirely with your in-depth analysis. Wink

I'm confident Galvennmeister or Lucas Matheus will have something to say about this subject.

 Shocked Ha, ha, ha. It was about time you noticed.  Grin

Well, now that I have the response I craved for (my interpretation is a bunch of crap), I'm content.

Actually, I was aware of it from the moment someone actually replied to that Thallium injection thread.

Yeah, a stupid thread and a stupid Galvennmeister. I wonder how I got this nickname.
