Roccoa

Roccoa is spoken by the inhabitants of Dor Roc on Shade. "Roccoa" literally means "concerning someone from [Dor] Roc" and by extension is understood to mean "to do with rocca" ("rocca" itself properly referring to the continent, not a species, but used as a species name by everyone else).

Our understanding of its vocabulary is tragically coloured by the usage of the most talkative rocca encountered, one Laffent Ferrl.

(Northern Roccoa is very similar, but a different dialect with different slang and pronunciation.)

Random vocabulary

• Roc - literally "clear patch [in the middle of something]", by extension "the world". (Rocca cannot travel by sea. Historically, as far as they knew, Dor Roc was it.)
• Tre - horse, generic*
• Té - horse, vulgar*
• Vié - fucker
  • thus, viétén = "horse-fucking" (adj)
• Amo - alcoholic drink, generic
• Aio - "booze", highly informal
• Amocc - beer, generic
• Ble - cabbage, generic
  • thus, bletamoccoa = cabbage beer (beer brewed from cabbages, not known for being particularly fine quality)
  • and bletaioa = "cabbage booze" (i.e. overtones of "damn cabbage beer again")

* "horse" refers to West Horse
