It has been a long time, update for christmas :)

So a word came up today, well two words: Zeutheunth Ɲythones


This is dealing with the body marks found on all Amazones. These are called the painted stories or simply Zeutheunth Ɲythones. The words in Amazo literally mean "Paint stories" on me. It's a passive statement and because it lacks many of the clitics used to mark Aspect, Tense and Mood, it can be hard to understand. This is how in many cases the names of certain things exist. Amazo is a fickle language that in translation certain terms and names are almost completely impossible to understand. However it does create some interesting affluent sounds that give the language it's richness.


The Painted Stories are the carefully hellenic styled tattoos found on all Amazons. Usually center to these marks are a back tattoo depicting either the Ozikon founder or the other important figures to the Amazon's life. Usually the Stories begin on either the left or right arm. Carefully over time they are added to and once someone dies they are displayed as a way to tell the persons story. Clan Totems and particular honored dead are also important in the stories as are personal achievements. 


The Painted Stories have their origin in the Pazyryk Culture totemic body tattoos. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years and is kept proudly by the Amazon Nation. To this day every young Amazon child discusses his or her future Stories and what they wish to have inked into their skin. Those that betray the nation often will find their tattoos purposely targeted in combat. It is considered highly insulting and arrogant to wear a tattoo if one is not an Amazon OR if they have left the Nation.
