Sca-speak

[Mark Harris]

Sca-speak.
Mundane Term      Jargon Term.           Other possible terms
-------           Troll, Troll booth     Gate, Front Gate, Entrance

Dining Attendant  Server                 Steward, Sewer, Carver,
                                         Cellarer
>>>>
What's wrong with "server"? To me, it certainly doesn't clash like
the fantasy terms. Carver and Cellarer describe much more specialized
positions. Sewer?? I thought that was a mis-spelling the first time I
saw it. Yes, I can see it now...Go over to the Sewer and see if they
have anymore of that bread pudding...

First Aid Attendent Chirurgeon           Barber

>>>>
Again, a big clash with a modern term.

---------         Feast Gear             ?

>>>>
What's wrong with "feastgear"? It doesn't clash in my mind.
<<<<

Dinner            Feast                  ?

>>>>
Again, no problem to me.

Clothing/Costume  Garb                   Clothing

>>>>
I think "garb" is fine. It certainly beats "costume".
<<<<

Normal            Mundane                Futuristic?

>>>>>
I see no problem with mundane. There is no period
equivalent. "Futuristic" is as cutsey as "farspeaker" and
"dragon".

As for the others, I would like to eliminate the fantasy
terms first and don't use them myself.
