Genly if he tried writing immediately upon arriving on Gethen
My craft PENETRATED the outer atmosphere and flew from the heavens in a SHAFT of light. I had landed on Gethen. Upon exiting the COCKpit I was greeted by a fisherman -- sorry, fisherperson. He - sorry, this person - asked me what the devil I thought I was doing. I was rock hard with confidence and alien intrigue. Even after reading the seminal -- I mean semen -- shit, formative -- work of the first Invesigators I cannot help but see this person as a man, then a damnable effeminate woman. His breasts jiggled violently and his cheeks clapped as he waddled up to me with the gait of having birthed 200 children.
There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

also! I just needed to look this up as a Hungarian, because yes, while the word sántál makes sense to me, it just sounds old school, we use sántít more nowadays
and ofc I needed to look it up in a Hungarian dictionary and let me nerd out about this one for a bit (bear with my English and the possibly wonky translation of this text)
so the word I looked up was sánta (lame), the noun from sántál/sántít
so basically,, Hungarian got the word from an old Slavic word group, possibly before the 11th century, when the Slavic nasal a still existed (btw if anyone knows about this nasal a, feel free to yap about it, I'm interested)
originally it used to mean something like to walk slowly, haltingly and then in Hungarian the meaning changed to to limp
and then some Slavic languages borrowed it back from Hungarian, apparently Serbo-Croatian and Slovene also have it as šantati
oh wow, I just had a szófosás here (basically a word for yapping in Hungarian, it literally means word-diarrhea)
