keets

[gran_orco]

I have a simple question What does mean "keet"? Has it translation?
I have a spanish-english vocabulary, I have searched on the net, but I have no idea of it meaning...

I guess its a contraction of 'parakeet'. Keets are one of the Gloranthan avian-derived races (like ducks).

I thought it was something like a coot which is basically a black duck. [Twitchers.....stay!]

I always thought it was a made-up word.

getting a bit random, but Keats was Mr Bridger's 'manservant' of sorts in the original Italian Job, maybe he's descended from a Runequest race if butlers?

:lol:

I always thought it was a made-up word.

So did I.
But I like the 'parakeet' answer, and I imagine it's probably pretty close to where Greg (or whoever) got the word.

But anyway, to answer the original question - it has no direct terrestrial equivalent. It's effectively a made up word. As someone else said, it's the name of one of the bird-like races. Like the durulz.

Hi,

I think Sandy Petersen is the father of Keets, I have a complete scenario somewhere for Keet characters, I will dig it out and send it to Signs and Portents if people are interested.
