Incata Homeland Definitions

Many of the words and phrases used as names and descriptions have been drawn predominately from Swahili as well as several other African languages in keeping with the overall mythology that I am constructing around Bealz, Monie and Askauri's world. I have taken liberties with pronunciation and word formations, attempting to create a unique language structure for the Incata that honors its ties to Africa, as both represented within this fictional framework, and in its creative influence on me.

Here's the list of words and phrases so far. I'll add to it as the story continues. The root words, unless otherwise noted, are Swahili:

Belozi Bin Askuari = The Emissary, Son of Askauri

Balozi – Consul/Ambassador

Monique Felani-Kakua Binti = Daughter of Earth, The Undying Warrior

Munyika (Shona of Zimbabwe) – Earth

Chapters 17 & 18: Jo-Mel Of The Hunt & Duality

17 Jo-Mel slashes the arrow in two with a swift swipe of the katana, snapping its shaft just inches before the tip found its mark. “No time for that,” she says quite calmly for someone who'd just been fired upon. “You must find and free the boy. This one is dead, but its weavings will still have your son bound.” “You stay right where you are,” Monique Felani says with deadly seriousness. She already has another arrow nocked and aimed at Jo-Mel's head. “I can help. If you allow it.” “Yeah, well, I don't know you like that. Ain't done so well with strangers so far.” Lowering the katana, Jo-Mel says, “Understood. But I'm here at Askauri's behest and you should know that the wilds of the Incata are best navigated by the wit of two women.” Peering closer, Monie says, “I know you...” “Yes,” Jo-Mel says. “And you know that I mean you no harm, Monique Felani.” 18 Bealz is gone. No where to be found amongst...
