| ====== Helr-Timlosium-MdFitty Taylu ====== | |
| |
| Much feared one-armed local leader of [[Baalb]], who gained his reputation as a fearsome soldier for hire. Helr-Timlosium-MdFitty Taylu (often referred to as simply "MdFitty") entered local politics after slaying the then local leader, Ti. MdFitty had a large private army, made up of ex prisoners and murderers. He sent a gang of them to intimidate [[Tarvu]], but [[Tarvu]] won their hearts and the men turned on MdFitty. MdFitty fled [[Baalb]], and was killed a year later after he slipped off a mountain and landed on a spike. | |
| |
| Bizarrely, the word 'MdFitty' is used in the English language to mean 'stop' or 'halt', even though the literal [[Tarvunian]] translation of MdFitty is 'solemn promise'. The word also appears in America on road traffic signs (except in the states of Ohio and Illinois), to mean 'Do Not Walk.' | |
| |
| No one has come up with a definitive reason as to why the word 'MdFitty' should have come to mean 'stop,' but nonetheless the word has been in common usage since around the mid 1600s. | |
| |
| MdFitty is also the name of an English Underground ('tube') station in North London. | |
