An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition - Volume I COMPLETE (A-G)
On the world of Spherus Magna, many millennia have come and gone since the time known as BIONICLE. And in that time, the scholars of Spherus Magna have not been idle...
Under the auspices of the Annoxtus Academy of Science, a team of researchers, including linguists, historians, archaeologists, and agoripologists, has worked tirelessly to record, preserve, and analyze the ancient languages and linguistic varieties of the Mata System.
The Institute for Matoran Studies is proud to present the newest result of those labors: The full and complete Volume I of An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition, now covering the letters A through G, along with “Supplemental Entries” for H-Z.
An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition - Volume I: A-G [with Supplemental Entries H-Z] (PDF)
The previously published version of Volume I covered the letters A and B only, amounting to about 90 entries, with 36 root-word entries. In contrast, the Complete Volume I is substantially expanded, containing about 274 entries for the letters A-G, along with an additional ~407 Supplemental Entries, and ~169 root-word entries.
The Supplemental Entries contain words that are referenced in the etymologies of the primary entries for A-G, allowing the reader to cross-reference almost any word referenced in the dictionary. The Supplemental Entries also contain many words not referenced in the primary entries, but whose etymologies have been finalized by the IMS research group, providing a snapshot of the development of future dictionary volumes. This includes nearly all words and grammatical markers listed or referenced in other educational materials, making the Complete Volume I the most comprehensive reference document for the lexicon of the Matoran Language.
[Link to Previous Version (Volume I: A-B)]
======
The Matoran Language (Matoric) is a constructed language (“conlang”) set within the universe and lore of BIONICLE (a LEGO property). It is the language of the biomechanical species called Matoran, and it is also used as a lingua franca amongst many of the biomechanical inhabitants of the artificially-constructed Matoran Universe.
If you would like to learn more about Matoric, further documentation can be found in this post: The Matoran Language [2021].
The Matoran Language Resources page of this blog also contains a wealth of additional content and archival material.

Metro-Nui Reunion
Well, another post for Bionicle day, i will show my Toa Metru, hope ya like it:
First, all of the Matau's, and well, we all know how he reacted to his Hordika form. Worry not Matau, you still got yourself in this trying times, to hopefully he ges his moral up:
The second of the reunions i'm gonna make, now with all of the Nokamas. They are hearing the knowledge of their younger part, that, even if they knew what she's gonna say, is still interesting for them:
The third one is with Nuju, that some of them hate how the Turaga one talks in Rahi language, others are interested on it:
The fourth one is withOnewa using his mask power to try to impress himself (technically), maybe he did it too hard with his Hordika version, that everyone is panicking:
The fifth one, now with Vakama. It seems that the whole Vakama gang is up, and it seems that someone still doesn't know how to use their powers:
Finally, the last of the reunions of the Toa Metru, this time with another of the nerds of the team, Whenua, he's talking about funky lil' Rahis in the Mata Nui island, while the others listen of those creatures he saw:
Hope ya like it

A quick-and-dirty coloring job of a quick-and-dirty sketch I did several years ago and it's corresponding snippet from a take on the Hordika & Inika storylines that I was working on from... even further back.
(...Which is under the cut)
Happy 810nicle day!
Welcome to my prison-nest, brotherling
A large, draconian head emerged into the firelight. Four massive glowing eyes focused loosely on him, shimmering green with compound facets under which shone a clear intelligence. The iridescent metal-flesh of the being seemed to flicker in color every so often with the dancing flame, a bright blue or red sometimes taking hold over the dull silver for a brief moment.
“What… are you?” Vakama murmured quietly, though the thing seemed to hear him without issue. The large head rose backwards as it stepped forward, revealing a serpentine neck that folded over itself and two small forelimbs. Along its tail- or perhaps thorax- were several spheres, each gently glowing a different color, pulsing as if they themselves were alive, separate from the beast.
Our name has no meaning. The Sister-queen is dead. We were called Bahrag. That shall suffice.
He remembered the stories now. Massive beasts that had been brought by Barraki Raiders to the city as siege-weapons. So dangerous, they had to be restrained by six of the Raiders, even in the midst of battle. Lhikan and a few other toa had dispatched the whole crew, beasts and all. Or perhaps not.
Indeed, brotherling. The voice interrupted his thoughts, This One was not killed that day. This One was half-dead, stolen away by the same Toa Tuyet who holds you captive now.
The Bahrag began circling Vakama, each eye seeming to focus on a different part of him for a brief moment before scanning another portion of his body. After a moment, it stopped, leaning in close enough for Vakama to feel hot air escaping from the beast’s frontal vents. Rejoice, brotherling, for this Queen accepts you into her Horde. Be honored that the toa-energy of you and your fellow Hordika has been used to feed the newest Kal.
“Kal? Is that your kind’s name for the spiders?”
A repeating, sickly grunt emanated from the Bahrag, but the translation of laughter was clear.
The Kal are much more than what you call “spiders,” or even their following stages. They still sleep, waiting to wake only when I cease to be. No, the “spiders” are just our beginning.
As if to demonstrate, one of the spiders descended from the ceiling, resting on an outstretched Bahrag-claw. Now holding still, Vakama could clearly see that these ones were different from the dangerous Rahi pests he was accustomed to. The armor on it was thin and loosely-spaced, revealing a rubberlike layer of skin and muscle underneath.
We have learned that your kind do not speak the true names of the Horde out of fear, but this One shall teach you, brotherling. These children are ‘Krana.’
An orblike cocoon fell from the ceiling, the thick webbing below doing little to quiet the loud crack of flesh-metal striking stone. The same translucent shell tore through the layers of silk surrounding it, revealing claws that sparked and smoked.
The sphere began to unwind, and arms and legs that looked far too much like a Matoran’s began extending from the main body, only to shudder and begin flailing. A group of Matoran scurried from behind the webs, at least two holding onto each thrashing limb. A dull, lifeless glow emanated from the eye-holes of the Krana attached to their face, each of its spider-like legs now seeming to meld with the Matoran’s head.
These ones, who have fused to a host, are ‘Va.’
An insect-like clicking sound emanated from the spherical being.
Chikt-chikt-chikt-chikt-chikt…
Those that have encased their host and have grown into walking chrysalis are ‘Bohrok,’ such as the one entering the final stage of it's metamorphosis before you.
The carapace of the being began to crack, the clicking becoming louder until the solid crystalline shell flung forward, revealing the form inside.
And those that have fully subsumed the host and shed their chrysalis are the true Horde. The last host who gazed upon their birth and managed to live called the Horde ‘Stealers of Life,’ and so we have named ourselves.
It pulled free from its old skin, two compound eyes gleaming despite the darkness. Spider-like legs and long, wicked pincers tore the remaining chrysalis apart, what little resemblance to the poor person the thing had consumed now lost forever.
Vakama took a step back. He had heard of them, monsters from circle-fire stories on the darkest and coldest of nights.
“Visorak.”

It's finished! Happy belated Bionicle Day!
The good news is: There are no song lyrics questions!
The bad news is: I have thought of several things that are considerably worse!
Friends, your journey of discovery will be long, and you will face many challenges: Turing testing a chatbot, sitting through the world's worst ethics committee meeting, an encounter with some very judgemental schoolchildren, and a friend with questionable taste in pets, to name a few. But if you endure them all, and answer truthfully, you shall be rewarded with... uh, some very bad puns and probably a personal attack, I guess.
Anyway, all canon Matoran elements are in this, with some of the secondary element personalities fleshed out from fanon discussions.
Special thanks to @wjbs-bonkle-au for letting me use her beautiful MOCs for the secondary element pages!
#if you're not a coward you can put your tumblr handle in the name box#bionicle#bionicle day#810nicle day#I am open to discussing the logic behind some of the questions if anyone is curious#but i don't want to give too much away
