Mother, whose footprints are these?
a question likely to come from a child. presumably easy prey for an ogre
ablutions
another term for washing/ scrubbing
When the wife was rescued by her human kin, her human–looking child was also saved, but Kiptegen was burnt alive.
This Ogre makes me think that not all ogres are necessarily bad, but the humans of this world arent willing to take that chance. Kinda like Shrek (side note, I love shrek)
Katandabaliko
This one the most seems like a pokemon to me. Pokemon names usually are portmateau, and this ogre's name has "katana" in it. These descriptions are written just like pokedex entries too. It talks about their powers, where they live, and how they feed.
This one specifically reminds me of the pokemon Froslass. "When it finds humans or Pokémon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations."
dotard
"an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile"
Iimũ
there creatures and their weird powers remnd me of pokemon
Eventually, she will murder Dhegdheer by filling her ear with boiling water.
this is awfully gruesome
Alibhai
sounds like "alibi" >.> Is this person going to need one later?
memoried
odd way to say "remembered"
penultimately
PENULTIMATE
Verbaluce

MobiPak
i feel like this might be an insulin pump or something like that. not sure though
bad woman.
i think she's saying that Johnnie Mae is a whore
They chose to be here. Why would they go off with some total— Cops laugh.
is our narrator really this naive?
SGs off in activist van somewhere, laughing butts off.
this is messed up that they're looking at these poor girls dealing with poverty, and they're laughing about social activism
Eva extra ice cream, due to I had spoken harshly to her.
my dad used to do this too, like when he felt bad he'd buy us food
Who cares about stupid bumper, we’re going to get a new car soon anyway, when rich, right?
I would do the same thing as a kid. I've learned the value of items since being young, but as a child I didn't understand why we couldn't just "get a new one"
Am getting off track, due to tired, due to those fighting cats.
same
Image that stays in mind
the way this is written, among everything else so far, really pisses me off and makes this hard to read. I just want some adverbs and connecting words.
smitten part
its the guys head
great mechanician, the unblest foundling, Bannadonna.
in short, Bannadonna is an un baptized, abandoned as a child mechanic/artist hybrid
Talus was to have been the all-accomplished helot’s name.
so Talus is the robot?
From the mystery unavoidably investing it, the popular solution of the foundling’s fate involved more or less of supernatural agency. But some few less unscientific minds pretended to find little difficulty in otherwise accounting for it
and i suppose this means that nobody even cared banadonna died
Bannadonna lay, prostrate and bleeding, at the base of the bell which was adorned with girls and garlands. He lay at the feet of the hour Una, his head coinciding, in a vertical line, with her left hand, clasped by the hour Dua. With downcast face impending over him, like Jael over nailed Sisera in the tent, was the domino; now no more becloaked. It had limbs, and seemed clad in a scaly mail, lustrous as a dragon-beetle’s. It was manacled, and its clubbed arms were uplifted, as if, with its manacles, once more to smite its already smitten victim. One advanced foot of it was inserted beneath the dead body, as if in the act of spurning it.
Yo this dude made a robot and it killed him. This is like some crazy ancient idea of artificial intelligence trying to take over and kill humans. Guess people will always fear what they dont understand
But as he suffered no one to attend him in these inspections, he concealed the blemish
Why would he cover it up instead of try to fix it? He seems to be a ruler of some kind, so why not just push the blame onto it like so many other rulers do?
prostration
lying stretched out
unburthen
to free one's mind of trouble
Only get rid altogether of your nonsensical trash about the beautiful, which I nor nobody else, nor yourself to boot, could ever understand,–only free yourself of that, and your success in life is as sure as daylight
This quote really highlights how horribly owen is being treated, and how nobody understands his work
all with their faces turned from the streets, as if churlishly disinclined to inform the wayfarers what o’clock it was
this is a cute way to get someone to buy a watch
ineffaceably
unable to do away with
