Didn't know the author died. Guess that explains why the books stopped coming out.

They already had the right to bear arms, they wanted the right to arm bears.Ursa: It's a talking bear. Humans made a talking bear, because you know what those other, more powerful humans don't have? Talking bears.
That is not a bear. After a few weeks with the Zhodani Thought Police it will swear it is a rabbit. And all his ancestors where rabbits as wellThey already had the right to bear arms, they wanted the right to arm bears.
Mostly right. Except for Plattdeutsch and Dutch. At least some dialects are so close to Dutch that they can understand each other. They will not discuss philosophy but haggling on a market or watching the Dutch Equivalent to TJ Hooker and Großstadtrevier is doableAnd the modern descendants of the NW Coastal Germanic Languages: Platt-Deutsch, Dutch, Flemish, and English (and also the Danish and Norwegian tongues, derived from the Old Norse North Germanic that influenced them) are today mutually incomprehensible.
Not that it really matters; I've been told that once a Dutch person knows your milk language is English they will not even let you try to speak Dutch to them, because they want to practice their English.Dutch [...] and English [...] are today mutually incomprehensible.
Darrians are "elves" in the loose pop-culture archetypical sense. Physically lithe, intellectual, a little holier-than-thou, skilled at war though holding it in low regard, "higher" (in a technological rather than magical or spiritual sense, in this case), and pointy ears.
Calling them "space elves" is just short-hand for the loose collection of ideas that would help someone with no exposure to Traveller understand them. It's like calling Aslan cat people, K'kree horse-people, Ithklur "lizards" and Bwaps "newts" (which is an in-universe thing, at that).
Geonee are dwarves, by the same logic. Short, stocky, stubborn, known for their engineering, only the men are seen out and about; they even have the Llyrnians to cover the "tunnelling deep" aspect.
It's like a vague silhouette that the race/culture in question can fit, as an initial attempt to get a grip on them, before you come to understand who/what they are. If someone asked, "who are these Aslan, then?", I could give an overview, but it's easier to say "proud warrior race cat people". If someone asks who the Darrians are, I might say "scholarly human race, space elves".

But I didn't really get disturbed until Ithklur-Claus
True story.Not that it really matters; I've been told that once a Dutch person knows your milk language is English they will not even let you try to speak Dutch to them, because they want to practice their English.
That would explain why we never got to see a Mirror Universe Next Gen episode.I like to tell Trekkies that Deanna Troi's real job is to constantly read Picard's mind and execute him at the first sign of disloyalty. They get so upset.
They are already in the mirror universe.That would explain why we never got to see a Mirror Universe Next Gen episode.
The Tezcat are nihilistic cuddle-cats.I can't believe you didn't include the Tezcat!
