Fremen War Cries

[Vanguard3000]

Acriku:  You're probably thinking of the "Wieding Way" which was the Fremen term for the Prana-Bindu fighting style used by Paul, Jesiica, and the BG.

I also liked the use of the Wierding Modules in the movie.  Lynch Dune rules!

I need some cool fremen war cries besides long live the fighters like death embrace me in fremen, that would be perfect for suicidal knife runs in CS.

[Acriku]

Was there an established Fremen language like the Elvish language (LOTR)?

[Vanguard3000]

The Fremen speak Arabic, I think.  Or at least a variation of it, anyway.

[nemafakei]

Chakbosa is the name - yes, based on arabic with a little from other things, I think.

The Atreides battle language is also Chakbosa, by coincidence (decendance from Atreus - link to Persians could be an explanation)

[Vanguard3000]

Chakobsa isn't one language per se, but rather a type of language or dialect.  For example, the Sardaukar, Harkonnen, or [House X] battle language would also be a chakobsa.

anyway does anyone have any site about Fremen War Cries?

[Vanguard3000]

Gunner:  I think that's all of them.  Anyway, to make the

Vanguard are the Atradies hand signals chakabousa cause they are a battle language.

War cries what about that dehydrate one like when Muad' dib says "Dehydrate the Zabulon computaions".

[Vanguard3000]

Yes, the Atreides hand signal was a type of Chakobsa, although only just.  Chakobsas were originally simply jargons used by different types of people (i.e. a golfer calls a 2-under-par score an "eagle", but someone who doesn't know much about golf wouldn't know what he meant when he said "I got an eagle on the seventeenth".).  The term eventually changed to refer to any type of (for lack of a better term) "exclusive" language.  The Atreides hand signal language was only known by the Atreides family and close, trustworthy friends, and is therefore a type of chakobsa.

Dehydrate the Zabulon computaions

I don't remember that quote, but I don't think Fremen would be screaming that as they ran to battle.  It does, however, remind me that there was a Fedaykin death chant, which they would scream in battle.  I forget what the chant was though.

War cries what about that dehydrate one like when Muad' dib says "Dehydrate the Zabulon computaions".

That has nothing to do with Fremen war cries, that's from Dune Messiah.

[gunner154]

so it's getting off-topic...just a side-tracking question... who is Muad`Dib? I've read the first book of Dune (just gotten it) and am not far into it yet. This "Princess Irulan" name pops up a lot. who is Muad`Dib? is he Paul?

Gunner:

[nemafakei]

Well use Alt, and type some numeric keypad numbers - as you get used to them, you learn them - eg

[gunner154]

the kangaroo eh? anyway this is getting offtopic

[quoudam72]

Well Gunner154 there is not more to say on Fremen war cries without someone using the Fremen language and coming up with more.

[Usul]

You misunderstand me I was only usin Dehydrate the Zabulon computations as an example. I ment that I could imagine the Fremen shoting dehydrate the Harkonnen scum or what ever.

[quoudam72]

It makes more sense now with your explaination. So when do we start on the Fremen lexicon, anyone?

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Maybe the Fremen will Say this

"Slice off the Enemies limbs and Throw the red dry sand in their troats! " :P

[nemafakei]

I've looked at the vocabulary in the back of The Book. Some root meanings have arisen.

Cheu (rhymes with learn in std UK english) has the idea of insipid hate.

ed: Chaumas, Cherem, Chakbosa (being the laguage of Bhotanical assassins - see book).

Be aware that I am extrapolating, and also that the spelling in Dune has been modified to account for our letters. I'll update when I've found some more common themes.
