About those endearments…
whoo! Ask for help and get an avalanche!
Thanks, everyone. I’ve got quite a lot to get through in the next few days. Mucho thanks to MartianMoonCrab, who sent me absolutely LOVELY stuff. You rock.
I suppose it’s time to be more specific. The character I need help with was born in Byzantium around the time of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, lived for a Long Time (hey, what else do you expect of a vampire?) and left Constantinople about thirty years after Mehmet conquered the territory. So, as a Reader just emailed me to point out, what I’m probably looking for is Koine Greek endearments.
For the moment I’m using kardia (my heart) and anasa mou (my little breath) but I’m needing more. So here is the next task: can you find me Koine Greek endearments or point me in the right direction? The Persian is nice, but as that same Reader pointed out, it might not be quite what I’m looking for depending on the character; thirty years isn’t enough for that to work its way into his lingua and survive for this long.
I had originally intended the character to be French, but a French vampire? That’s SO BEEN DONE. Why not have him be a Greek who would consider himself a Roman?
I love my job…
