Singular Word For "kharaa"

TheGunslinger

<div class="IPBDescription">What is it?</div> Is saying "I was eaten by a Kharaa." correct?

Fam

Yes, pretty much.

BadKarma

I think you would say " Kharran" as in " I was eaten by a Canadian" instead of "I was eaten by a Canada". Unless you were. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I may be wrong though.

P.S. Dark Tower rules, I am The Walkin Dude ingame.

Do what I do and say "That little bastid bit my **obscenity**!"

Khaara is similar to the word deer in that it can mean one or more than one.

I think "critter" works well, even for Onii. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yes. It is a little known fact that us Canadians have bigger teeth than Skulks.
Its freaky, really.

What about 'Khar'?

TheGunslinger

"I was ran over by a Khar"
Works for Onii, but not for anything else. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I think the plural of Khraraa is Kharaa, and the plural of Onos is still Onos.

The_Spectre

One Kharaa, Two Kharaa.

One Onos, Two Onoses. The normal english way of pluralising a word which ends with an s. Or maybe One Onos, Two Onos, I don't know.
But not Onii. Why on earth would it be Onii? Don't tell me it's latin, because if you say that, you're really clueless about latin. A word ending with "-os" could never even be a singular word in latin, unless it was from the mixed declination, in which case the plural would be Oneres or something like that (there isn't a solid rule for how the beginning of the plural from of a mixed declination word changes, but the end is always "-es")

I actually think One Ono, Two Onos is the most logical, since the name came from a scared human yelling "Oh no!" over the radio. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

TheHornet

its like moose... i mean you can try to make moose plural by saying meeces (i.e. mouse is mice, mouse is meece and s for plural) but any way you look at it, it still gonna be a moose

FunkTheMonk

1 GIANT 900 LB FAT B*STARD!, 2 OMFG IM GONNA DIE!, 3 COME HERE AND I'LL KNIFE YA!!

thats the correct way of stating how many there are coming at ya.

MrBatman

One = Onos. Two or more = Oshit! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

You knobs. You don't say anything if you've been eaten. It's a trick question!

So no, it's not correct <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

I have always said Ono and Onos, but <a href='http://nstactics.lanvancouver.com/' target='_blank'>Nazgul's page</a> said Onii, so I have been adapting.

Manual to the rescue:

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> From Kharaa Data
<b>The Kharaa</b> will work together to defend their hives, or attack a large force or well defended base. Otherwise, it's each Kharaa for itself, gestating, evolving, and behaving according to their own objectives. Hit-and-run, ambush, and blitz tactics are common – but just as often, <b>a Kharaa</b> will bulk up and go toe-to-toe with any foe it can find. But for the unifying presence of the bacterium and hive sight, they would be little more than aggressive (and cunning) animals.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Kharaa is correct for both singular and plural.

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> From Kharaa Data :: Species: Onos
Summary: The dreadnaughts of the Kharaa, <b>the Onos are</b> tanks – highly armored and very powerful. They are so large they cannot use crawlspaces and many of the narrow passages found on human ships and bases. This does not limit their effectiveness very much – <b>the Onos is</b> the highest level response to any threat, requiring large amounts of resources to gestate, but paying off with truly awe-inspiring strength.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Onos is, again, both singular and plural. It's a mystery to me where this Nazgul person got the term "Onii".... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Unknown

"I was trampled by an Onos"
"I was bitten by a kharaa"
"I spawn in an hive room"
"There were many kharaa"
"There were many Onos' " (Oh-know-ce)

You say potatoe and I say potato because its the correct english spelling of it.
You say eggplant and I say obergine because thats a vegetable and eggplant was made up by lincoln on an acid trip.

Oops went off topic,

in summary,

Kharaa, Onos', an hive room
