Greek terms in Vesperia
Dec. 3rd, 2008 09:26 pmMostly a remainder to myself, but oh well.
Apparently, adephagos actually means gluttonous, which I suppose fits the way it is created (entelexeia "overeating" aer) and the way the Adephagos seems to "swallow up" the world...
Entelexeia has some history too, and goes back to Aristotle and some kind of physics I cannot begin to comprehend. Anyways, I've seen a few translations, although a more constant one seems to be "to have an end" or "to be complete". Dunno if it's right, but it could fit the context of the game...
Terca Lumireis seems to be, for the most part, faux Latin or something, although searching 'terca' ended up with Spanish for "stubborn". :\ I think it's just a coincidence.
Anyways, I thought it was pretty interesting!
