Aina and Language.

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 4:45 pm

Just decided to share different meanings of the word "Aina" to get some crazy speculation underway.

'Aina, a word in the Arabic language meaning where?
'aina, a word in the Hawaiian language meaning land, or soil (Earth).
Aina, a word in the Swahili language meaning kind, sort, class, or type.
Aina, a word in the Finnish language meaning always.
'aina is swedish slang for the police.
Aina, a word in the Assyrian language meaning eye.
Aina means "life" in the Malagasy language ( spoken in Madagascar )

Yes, I know, I'm amazing. Now discuss.

whoa....wonder what she really is...CC2 most likely picked her name for a reason...with a meaning...

o.O And i thought it was just a name as original as Haseo...

If you take all the meaning and rearrange it, it sounds like if Aina means "Eye that always lives in the land of its kind"

It could be...I just arranged the meanings and formed that word, and with the description you gave to each, it surely makes sense

Wow... that´s an good observation.
But I think all of them connect to her, in some way.

wow! i thoght the word aina didn't mean anything.oh and TheSorrow never would think of that.Amazing

i noticed that TheSorrow didnt use the poilce thing....maybe Aina must "police"the place where her kind live...as in watch over it...think about it.

I particularly like the Finnish one. But that's probably just because I

Suomi.

Though in terms of definition, I like the Malagasy one.

I didnt use the slang because of it being a...well...slang. Usually slangs are just misformations of language and mean nothing truly

So if it was completed then it would be "watching eye that always lives in the land of its kind", after all the job of a policeman is to watch over the people, I´m starting to think this combination will result on an area phrase.

but it would make sense seeing as the Ultimate AI is to watch over the internet...as policing is to watch.

Indeed it would, like Rick added it

watching eye that always lives in the land of its kind

Basicly mine + watching

So after all this means that she is probably the watcher of her own land, "The world"... if so she will be the Ultimate A.I., definately

You gotta get some sort of award for that :/

I had never really wanted Eina to be the future Ultimate AI for 'The World'. -_-;; But seeing the several definitions of 'Eina' AT provided it's fully possible CC corp (The real one) could like.... know those and picked that name for her purposely. (Somewhat like Aura's name. Usually Meaning Peaceful, Light, presence or Protector in most languages hence why that name was given to her.... and it's just a cool name.)

I think I remember hearing in some interview or something that Aura's name was chosen both because it meant "Light" and that her name is made up of Au and Ra, the atomic symbols for Gold and Radium, two precious metals.
