michaelmj11 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Has anybody else noticed a correspondence between the meaning/attribute of Aon's and some of the names of people in the Cosmere? Like Dalinar and Kaladin. I can't remember off the top of my head what Shallon had to say about letters that could represent others in order to make a name symmetrical, but perhaps this could be another aspect to the whole thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer12347 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I just know that there is an aon called Ati and ruin's real human name is Ati. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I just know that there is an aon called Ati and ruin's real human name is Ati. They're not pronounced the same way, and Yolish definitely predates Aonic by a very long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turos Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If anything, worldhoppers probably are to blame for any shared linguistic patterns. I wonder how Hoid is able to communicate with people in each world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Srinivasan Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Edit: I'm going to be transferring the data to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tZkrtJTGJSpeED-7B1PY2QxeBbSK_HyqgV41Qg2nh-U/edit?usp=sharing Preliminary investigation: Aons have lots of Cosmere meanings. Enough that we may be able to guess other magic from unreferenced meanings which don't have some other compelling reason for Brandon to have used them. Unreferenced so far as I have found: Aeo BraveryAla BeautyHandsomenessAta GraceSmoothnessAte SilenceAti HopeDii WoodEda SuperiorLoftyEdo ProtectionSafetyEna KindnessEne WitClevernessEno WaterIad TrustReliableIal HelpfulnessAidIdo MercyForgivenessIen WisdomKaa PlantsKai CalmnessSolemnityKae The Direction EastKie CircleKii JusticeMea ThoughtfulnessCaringnessNae SightClarityOmi LoveOpa FlowerOpe NationReo PunishmentRetributionRii WealthAffluenceSea ChastistyFaithfulnessSeo LoyaltyServiceTeo RoyalMajesticTae OpenTii Green Referenced: Ashe: SURGESShao: SURGESTia: SURGESAre: SURGESEshe: SHARDSMai: SHARDSDao: BLESSINGSEto: REALMSSao: REALMSRao: REALMSIir: FERUCHEMICALEhe: FERUCHEMICALAha: FERUCHEMICALDaa: FERUCHEMICALEon: FERUCHEMICALIre: FERUCHEMICALDeo: ALLOMANTICIir: ALLOMANTICIre: ALLOMANTICDeo: ALLOMANTICIir: HEMALURGYEla: MAGICAan: SHADESMARAha: AWAKENINGDio: SPRENSheo: SPRENMai: SPRENAan: SPRENAon: WARBREAKER Non canon associations I used: Transformation Shao Cognitive Sao Spiritual Rao Determination Eon Edited April 26, 2015 by Guy Srinivasan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Srinivasan Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Edit: trying to get table to show up as a table... anyone know how? I'm just going to use a bunch of dots which is pretty bad. Okay, a little more organized. I've been fairly conservative adding my own descriptions to Aons... I think. I added "spiritual" to Rao's "spirit, essence" and I added "transformation" to Shao's "transform, change". Data is here and you should be able to comment: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tZkrtJTGJSpeED-7B1PY2QxeBbSK_HyqgV41Qg2nh-U/edit?usp=sharing Looking for more sources of Cosmere-related words that appear in Aon descriptions not already matched, or theories on categories that unmatched Aon descriptions might fit into!
