Geas: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

*In ''Halo: Cryptum'' and ''Halo: Primordium'', it is noted that most terms and phrases are translated to "localized" analogues in order to be intelligible to the reader. The word [[Wiktionary:Geas|"geas"]] comes from a Scottish Welsh corruption of the Old Irish word [[Wiktionary:Geis#Irish|"geis"]], which can mean "curse", "spell", or "command", which closely reflects the ''Halo'' universe definition of the term, but was most likely not the original term used by the Forerunners.

*In ''[[Halo: Rebirth]]'', the audio epilog to ''[[Halo: Silentium|Silentium]]'', Greg Bear pronounces the word as "''gé-ash''", whereas it is pronounced ''"gesh"'' in its native Gaelic. This mispronunciation was carried forward by [[343 Guilty Spark]] in [[Terminal/Halo:_Combat_Evolved_Anniversary#tabsection-0-0|Terminal One]] of [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]].

* The ''[[Halo 2 Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]'' soundtrack features a track named ''[[Genesong]]'', which is a remake of ''[[Reclaimer (music)|Reclaimer]]'' and is named after Geas.
