@RyanTadashi No need to worry, real life takes precedence to us all. Sorry to hear about your dog, I can sympathize with you there. I know that feeling.

In fact "Capra" is a Spanish loan word the Aztecs used, so I guess that is the word for "goat."

@Billsomething (In Shagga's voice) There are no Goats in Pre-Colonial America.

Okay, thanks, just getting some confirmation. Will post soon.

Nahuatl, I'm afraid, is a very tedious language (especially to learn) but it's very interesting after you get the hang of it. Yes, those are Shamans who are in charge of death/blood rituals in the culture.

...Man, kids these days are so much better at other languages than I was at that age.

@Rin

Actually, it's not as good as you might expect since the language died out in my family when I came to America years ago (my mother speaks far better Nahuatl than I do).

@Billsomething Should I make a list or something? Here is just a few words I came up with though they do sound a little strange:

Tetzecochians - From the word tetzotzonqui meaning "stone worker." (although may refer to Dwarves rather than Goblins)
Cypactii - Taken from cipactli meaning "crocodile."
Hucáthens - Taken from the word huecatlaca meaning "outsider." (I think?)
Ahachuayollans - I took this one from Ahachi meaning "small" and cihuayollo meaning "coward."
Mauhcazonians - Took from mauhca which practically means the same as above.
Oztycans - from oztoc meaning "cave" (Had to look this up because I forgot).
Eazotytcai - from eezo meaning "full of blood" and tētiōchīuhquētl which is "death shaman." (had to also look "shaman" up).

Mind you I'm rusty and I'm not exactly a linguist either.

@Rin correct me if i am wrong but aren't the Aztec from South America so couldn't we just use some old south american language to come up with there name

@Billsomething

*Central American

I actually speak some Nahuatl, so I may be of some use to you guys there.

Clones - Freedom in Imprisonment [The 1st Installment]

<Snipped quote by Blubaron45>

Good questions.
1 - Humans survived by building bunkers for themselves and running into safehouses built by the government. While many survived, not all did. It was basically like survival of the fittest. Some people even died inside the safehouses due to murder.

2 - It's all a matter of opinion. Some humans don't like clones, and some do. Some clones don't like humans, and some do. It's really all how you see it. Humans and clones both do the same thing in a way, so they don't really have a significant role. They're just survivors, with some being stronger and more plentiful than others.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking about having a character who was a veteran and survivor of the war who ended up a criminal, I have what I need now. Should be up by today.

Clones - Freedom in Imprisonment [The 1st Installment]

I have a question: How did humans survive the devastating war and where do they fit into this society? I'm writing my character and want him to be human, but I don't really know what his role would be here.
