Spoiler Alert, click show to read:why double y?
well, consider these:
qiyam "rising"
qayyam "someone who makes sth rise"
both are spelled the same in arabic of course, with one having a shadda (qayyam). notice how the latin alphabet is more sensitive to the change; anyone reading without knowlege of context will confuse the words together, if you write them the same in latin. remember, this only applies to latin writing, not the original alphabet (which I know you know).
and why one must keep inflection in transliteration: arabic, as you know, is synthetic, so inflection matters. remember that its not written in the arabic alphabet all the time, since said alphabet does not rely on short vowels (I imagine you know about the long vowels), but it must be in latin, as the latin alphabet relies on vowel letters, regardless of length. besides, I can't understand transliterated arabic unless its as near perfect as possible

Re: EB Demotivators
That screenie looks to be from another mod. The reason I say this is that in EB, IIRC, the Epeirote general looks just like the other Greek generals, and they don't look like that guy. I know, lets play guess the mod, I'll start with Diadochi or XGM. There's 2 of my 3 guesses. Originally Posted by Ghaust the Moor

And you don't get generals in those battles (or ordinary custom battles for that matter): you get captains.

Re: EB Demotivators
It is from the EB online tournament, a practice battle (EB MP 1.2 + official fixes). This was taken from a battle in which Knight of Heaven participated as Epiros. I know they are captains, but I see no need to be precise like that...

Alright, so you are a Romaioktonoi fanatic, but please, at least make your highly radical views somewhat palatable by wrapping them in humour. Which the picture has none!

Sorry for the added criticism, but the Romaioktonoi one is rather a pledge or establishment sign rather than a demotivator.

Re: EB Demotivators
AP, you have a warped sense of humor, I wouldn't expect you to understand it. Its ok, not everyone is made to feel human emotion.
Ok, I guess it isn't a demotivater, but the point it makes is clear. I'm sure some of the other Romaiktonoi would agree with the content (if not all of them).Last edited by Vasiliyi; 06-27-2009 at 06:57.
