What would a Predator call an Alien?

[maledoro]

hahaha... you obviously don't have a clue how much money and manpower was leveraged. This is Fox. Everything given to AQ and NOT given to AvPR is deliberate, as with the inclusion of the Nostromo files in legacy.

I am aware of the money and manpower involved. What you don't realize is how gullible you are. If the art department decided to call the aliens "Fuzzy Wuzzy Kitty Cats" would you blindly accept it?

Must have missed the last couple of years then, as LN is on its way out the door, and held onto mostly by old school biologists and archaeologists.

It hasn't been rejected by anyone but those who are willing to try to win an argument.

It describes a FRATRICIDAL thief who steals life FROM WITHIN. Rather apt considering GR and LC.

internecine from L. internecinus "very deadly, murderous, destructive," from internecare "kill or destroy," from inter- (q.v.) + necare "kill." Considered in the OED as misinterpreted in Johnson's Dictionary [1755], which defined it as "endeavouring mutual destruction," on association of inter- with "mutual" when the prefix supposedly is used in this case as an intensive.

raptus, pp. of rapere "seize, carry off" (see rapid).

Compare to:
lingua [L] "tongue," also "speech, language"

foedus, foeda, foedum: "ugly, foul, loathsome"

on the otherhand DH's now as of John Shirley and the Reboot defunct Mangulation of latin doesn't even track because the wrong forms are used, A nor is it even spelled correctly, B and completely lacks context, C.

Which pales in comparison to your mangling of Latin, Greek and English.

I belive they call them "Hard Meat". There is a name for them in predator, but i can't get at it right now, but I will post it soon.

[The PredBen]

Jesus this thread is old. Anyway they are just aliens. There is no set name. All of it is a guessing work. And the Predators may simply call them aliens , as we do , Predators may call us aliens , since we are to them and they are to us. Oh and oomans is the worst name I've ever heard , warhammer orcs call people that sometimes.

I have found the website.

Human in pred is Ooman/Soft Meat.

And Alien in pred is Kainde Amedha/Hard Meat.

They name them 'hard meat'.

[Kriszilla]

Predators would call Aliens OH SHI-

Seriously, though, I don't think it matters that much. Trying to come up with all this stuff to add on to the mysterious predator race just humanises them and makes them boring.

[predator55]

I think the predator calls humans Ooman meaning like soft  meat and aliens kainde meaning hard meat from memory! 

[The Demon]

How about "dead"

[LSP]

Maybe they called them "Internecivus raptus". In the Alien Quadrilogy DVD identifies the scientific name of the Xenomorph race.

Can anyone give me exactly where this is? I'm working on a master's dissertation and I'd like to use something other than "xenomorph" and "alien". I need the proper references to use a name like this tough so where in the movie or under what special feature does this appear (minute, etc.)?

TIA

It's on the menu screens from memory.

I actually like Kaindhe Amedha, even if the meaning behind it is stupid.
