Avethellan (and telepathy)

Language Analog:

Ancient Semitic

Culture overview:

Avethell's matriarchal culture was rich, although somewhat spare. Poetry and music were much valued. Avethellans tended to be long-lived, in excess of several centuries (whether this was their natural lifespan, or their lives were extended by technology.

There is evidence that psi played some part in Avethellan culture. Telepaths were much more common than in Human populations.

The period of Avethellan rule, especially after the conquest of Diebethar, is considered a Golden Age by succeeding cultures.

The Avethellan language has both informal and formal modes.

Avethellan Names:

Usually given in matrynomic form, the word "delv" (formal-mode, "delvar") being analogous to the Arabic "ibn" or the Hebrew "ben." The mother's name is usually given first, unless the father is of higher status. In very formal circumstances, both parents are given, as in the following example:

Quelnarri delvar Mesticcan ak Depithari

The element "ak" is the formal-mode Avethellan for "and."
