It seems like these 'cats might be left over from wetter days. I found a brief study of Rhyl done by a couple galactographers, and they reported this was once a cooler planet.

This new planet didn't have a name. It could just about support life, but not a lot, and as opposed to Beta Caprisis—where entirely too many interesting things had happened for it to be inhabited—this planet simply wasn't interesting enough.

noble savage

First appeared in John Dryden's heroic play The Conquest of Granada (1672), where it was used by the son of a Christian prince, believing himself a Spanish Muslim, in reference to himself.

It seemed hardly possible that by such comparatively small mouthfuls he could keep up the vitality diffused through so broad, baronial, and superb a person. But, doubtless, this noble savage fed strong and drank deep of the abounding element of air; and through his dilated nostrils snuffed in the sublime life of the worlds.

1851 November 14, Herman Melville, chapter 34, in Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, 1st American edition, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Brothers; London: Richard Bentley, →OCLC, page 167:

The Isángú, or Ingwánba, the craving felt after a short abstinence from animal food, does not spare the white traveller more than it does his dark guides; and, though the moral courage of the former may resist the "gastronomic practice" of breaking fast upon a fat young slave, one does not expect so much from the untutored appetite of the noble savage.

1876, Richard F[rancis] Burton, Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo. […], part I (The Gaboon River and Gorilla Land), London: Sampson Low, Marston, Low, and Searle, […], →OCLC:

It is written that the noble savage must never express surprise in the presence of the white.

Airheaded and delectably gauche, Miyuki stands out as a classic incarnation of the meganekko— namely, as noted, the moe type whose charm derives largely from the wearing of glasses—while also appearing to have a soothing effect on those around her by virtue of her sheer presence.

Nja tój čas, kab nje zaŭvažácʹ njabáčnuju njebjasʹpjéku.

Дзе́ля гэ́тага ча́сам пі́шацца не, без, а ча́сам — ня, бяз у зале́жнасьці ад таго́, у като́рым скла́дзе пе́рад на́ціскам яны́ ста́нуць: не магу́, не хачу́, не знашо́ў; ня бу́ду, ня ве́даю, ня шуміць; без вады́, бяз хле́ба.

1925, Jazep Losik, Беларускі правапіс [Belarusian orthography], Менск: Беларускае Дзяржаўнае Выдавецтва, page 22:

The words, such as не, без, це́раз, пе́рад don't have their own stress; they behave as if they were a part of the next word. As a result, sometimes they are written as не, без and sometimes as ня, бяз, depending on where they stand relative to the stress position: не магу́, не хачу́, не знашо́ў; ня бу́ду, ня ве́даю, ня шуміць; без вады́, бяз хле́ба.

Takija slóvy, jak nje, bjez, cjéraz, pjérad nja májucʹ svajhó nácisku; janý stanóvjacʹ jak-by částku tahó slóva, pjérad katórym stajácʹ. Dzjélja hétaha čásam píšacca nje, bjez, a čásam — nja, bjaz u zaljéžnasʹci ad tahó, u katórym skládzje pjérad náciskam janý stánucʹ: nje mahú, nje xačú, nje znašóŭ; nja búdu, nja vjédaju, nja šumicʹ; bjez vadý, bjaz xljéba.

Mako Mori test

Named after the character Mako Mori from the 2013 film Pacific Rim by a Tumblr user known as "Chaila", who thought that the older Bechdel test was sometimes insufficient for measuring the representation of women in films.

But what stood out most to me was how the film [Gravity] proves we need The Mako Mori Test.

2013, Ryan Syrek, "She Needed Her Space", The Reader, Volume 20, Number 35, 10 October 2013 - 16 October 2013, page 22

It [Run Lola Run] does pass the Mako Mori test though, because Lola is motivated by her boyfriend's safety, her actions do not always impact his story arc.

2015, Lani Gerbi, "The Bechdel Sword in the Stone", On Dit (Adelaide University), Volume 83, Issue 7, 15 July 2015, page 19

Below is just one take, and uses the established Bechdel and Mako Mori tests to assess whether a work is feminist/representative.

2015 August 17, Charlotte Hann, “Feminist Fandom”, in Salient, volume 78, number 19, Victoria University of Wellington, page 30:

(literature, critical theory) A feminist test for evaluating works of fiction by whether they have (i) at least one female character (ii) who has her own narrative arc (iii) which does not exist to support the narrative arc of a male character.

It may be mentioned, in this connection, that while the melodies in GrameGeya and the Aranyaka are based on mono-verses those in the Uha and Rahasya are elaborated generally on tfcas, triple Tcas, from the Uttara Arcika of the Samaveda.

1973, प्रतिहारसूत्रम्:

In many places trcas are divided into ekarcas, hymns of mono-verses; maybe this MS follows a different version of SV.

2002, Harvard Oriental Series - Volume 2; Volume 58:

However, the notes would remain unchanged and thus perceived as a mono-verse, a verset or a stanza (not only for a poet, but also for a prose writer), leaving enough possibilities for mutual creation with a recipient.
