Fluccish

Definition

Fluccish is the common extramuros vernacular contrasted with Orth. Avout use it when addressing visitors, conducting everyday dealings outside the walls, or choosing a tone that feels natural in worldly settings.

Context and Usage

  • Public openings: Fluccish is heard prominently during Apert when visitors enter and tours are given; intramuros speakers switch to it to be understood by crowds and guests.
  • Travel and coordination: In movements toward a Convox, groups often keep precise, internal discussion in Orth and provide ad hoc summaries or switch into Fluccish in mixed Peregrin settings. Hierarchs pair Tenners with Hundreders so the former can interpret, translate, and handle everyday logistics extramuros.
  • Religious communities: counter-Bazian/Deolater groups commonly read scripture translations in Fluccish; some especially fervent, isolated sects may learn Classical Orth to avoid relying on translators. Locals' Orth can sound rough to avout but is intelligible.
  • Register signaling and vocabulary: Speakers sometimes mark a term explicitly as Fluccish while speaking Orth (for example, calling out the Fluccish word "picnic"). Everyday vocabulary includes tools and vehicles (e.g., "fetch"), and idioms and tone markers shift quickly across regions.
