Fremen

[Guest MuadDib]

I am asking if anybody knows exactly what are the Feemen saying besides "Muad'dib" "For Shai-hulut" and "It will be done" I don't understant what they are saying in the other lines. I want to know if anybody knows. Thank you.

[Acriku]

Well "Dehydrate -insert object, thing, person-!!" meant here was moisture no man could demean himself by touching. Which, in the land of Dune, is a pretty big insult.

pg. 135 of Dune Messiah is an example and the definition I got it from.

"Dehydrate the Zabulon computations!" Paul snapped...

When you click on them to move into a postion. They are speaking Arabic in one line they are saying "sir".

[Acriku]

Another is "HAL YAWM!" which means "Now! At last!" used by Fremen.

[quoudam72]

They say that in Dune2000 I never heard them say that?

[Acriku]

Hal Yawm? Or what Sand said?

[quoudam72]

Yes, what you said MoiDib "Hal yawn" I've only seen that in the Dune Appendix I can't remembering it being said in Dune2000. I'm going to play it later when I get a chance how could I have missed that.

[Acriku]

Oh did he mean sayings WITHIN the game? Hehe, oops! My bad.

Maud'dib:- freman prophet main character in the dune books also a kangaroo mouse creature native to Dune

Shai Halud:- the freman god the worms basicly

Bi la kaifa:- Amen (dont ask me why its in the game)

Ive heard the fremen say all of these in Dune2K

[fthg42]

They also say "Naib."

[Usul]

Naib is a freman who has sworn to never be taken by the enemy

[Usul]

Naib are agroup of fremen (like the Fedakin) who have sworn never to be taken alive

[nemafakei]

Naib is about equal to 'sir'

NB Bi-lal-Kaifa: Without qualification = Without question = Yes

[Mahdi]

Actually, Niab does mean a fremen who has sworn never to be captured alive, but is used as a title for the leader of a sietch.

Bi la (or lal) kaifa literally means "nothing further needs to be said", although it is also used as the fremen equivalent of the christian "amen".

Speaking of the Fremen are they going to have the same stillsuit design in the mini-series as last time. I thought that particular design did them no justice. They quite frankly looked like riot police gear not stillsuits and not updated either.

[Mahdi]

Most likely.  Its not like they have much money to waste on making a dozen different designs for a costume.
