Millennial Orth Convox

First Appearance and Context

The Millennial Orth Convox is mentioned in an entry of The Dictionary (4th edition, dated A.R. 3000), which notes that the word “saunt” was accepted only in the Millennial Orth Convox of A.R. 3000. Prior to that acceptance, the term had been treated as a misspelling of “savant.”

Description and Role

Based on its citation in The Dictionary, the Millennial Orth Convox is an authoritative convocation concerned with matters of usage in Orth, the language of the mathic world. Its decisions carry prescriptive weight, determining which forms are considered standard within Orth. The A.R. 3000 session is specifically associated with the formal acceptance of “saunt.”

Relationships and Functions

• Language and reference: The Convox’s outcomes are reflected in reference works like The Dictionary, indicating formal alignment between such convocations and lexicographic standards for Orth.
• Broader practice: Even after acceptance, some traditional orders retain older pronunciations, and similar conservatism is suggested to persist among Millenarians. This highlights the Convox’s prescriptive role versus varied practice across communities.

Current Status

Beyond the A.R. 3000 citation, details about the Convox’s composition, venue, and recurrence have not been revealed. No additional proceedings have been described up to now.
