and if you want to get really deep, there's the fact that the un-inflected form 'adon' derives from the word 'ad', meaning 'father'

and 'ad' just happens to coincidentally mean 'child' in mando'a. Which, usually i'm not going to complain about the etymology of a word conflicting with a completely different language but considering it's already established as a pun, and mando'a is highly agglutinative makes me extremely tempted to interpret it as meaning 'child-____'

okay now that i've explained one way that this is weird i feel like i have to explain the rest in the interests of fairness

there's the fact that it's a pun which, i'm not saying isn't a thing in star wars but is a bit weird

there's the fact that its kinda vaguely blasphemous

there's the fact that duke kryze and his daughter, duchess kryze are the *only* people who use the title of duke/duchess on mandalore, and its really weird that they do because they're an unwieldy fit for Mandalore's clan system

Anyway when even babyname sites are calling it a 'culturally loaded choice' maybe your pun isn't worth it?

(eg. https://nameberry.com/babyname/Adonai )

@aescling which would be the correct salutation for a duke in written contexts

@aescling its a name that literally means ‘my lord’ in Hebrew

@aescling it doesnt make sense and yet!!!!

@twistylittlepassages @nein09 @hope@weirder.earth according to that, Australia & New Zealand have a ‘king single’ size option which i find both delightful and infuriating

@hafnia@weirder.earth wait so so far he has, very carefully, killed ZERO people and he plans to continue that with his next bombing

@hafnia@weirder.earth wait all that time dedicated to condoms last round only for them to immediately forget????

@hafnia@weirder.earth haf inserting cliffhangers

@hafnia@weirder.earth as everyone knows, women have a secret vagina tentacle

@pmosetc@cybre.space eh if you could match the gold, that could also be pretty fun

@hafnia@weirder.earth thats the most reasonable manifesto i’ve ever heard
