The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2405

The little girl's original name is now lost to history. After all, the language of the original Gore was very different from that of Earthlings and Asgardians. The vocal organs of the Gore race were completely different from those of Earthlings and were more complex, so the sounds they could produce were more complex and intricate than those of Earthlings.

In fact, many languages ​​of races in the universe are impossible for Earthlings or Asgardians to learn because some languages ​​are far too complex. They are simply not vocalized by human vocal cords (Asgardians are not that different from humans in terms of physical structure, although there is a reproductive barrier between the two. There was once an Asgardian berserker who was left on Earth. He fell in love with an Earth woman and lived with her his whole life without having any children).

To understand how the human body produces sound and forms language, we first need to understand the three systems of the human voice. These systems work together to enable us to produce clear, varied sounds, which in turn form complex language.

The respiratory system, the entire body structure you use to breathe, includes the lungs, chest muscles, diaphragm, and trachea (or "airways"). This system works together to ensure you can smoothly inhale and exhale air. It is not only essential for life but also the power source for your voice. Without this system, you would lose the power to vibrate your vocal cords, thus unable to produce sound waves.

The vocal system, the part of your body that produces sound, is centered in the larynx, often called the "vocal box," which contains the vocal cords. When you inhale or exhale, air passes through the larynx, and the vocal cords vibrate at specific frequencies depending on their tension or relaxation, thus producing different pitches. In short, your larynx is like a sound oscillator. If the vocal cords are tightly closed, preventing air from passing through and vibrating, the sound produced will lack musical pitch.

The resonance system, the air-filled space within your body, is crucial for shaping your voice. It encompasses the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavity, which work together to form your body's resonance chambers—the vocal tract. Through skillful spatial arrangement, you can transform the vibrations of your vocal cords into a rich tapestry of sounds. Sounds produced solely by vocal cord vibration, while existing, are too weak and lack the power and beauty of resonance.

Language development originates from the precise coordination of muscles in the head, throat, chest, mouth, nasal cavity, and abdomen. This complex process requires years of practice and refinement. From early childhood, we gradually learn how to control these muscles to produce clear and accurate language. During vocalization, specific structures in the nose and mouth are precisely positioned, while the positions of the soft palate, tongue, jaw, and lips are finely adjusted by referencing fixed parts of the vocal tract (such as the roof of the mouth) to ensure accurate pronunciation of speech sounds.

But even the Celestials, the sowers of life, probably don't fully understand the biodiversity in the universe.

Many aliens have completely different physiological structures from humans.

This also meant that even when the little girl told them her real name, they couldn't pronounce it accurately.

On the contrary, the little girl could easily learn the language of Earthlings.

So after some deliberation, Thor and Sif decided to name the little girl 'Love'.

This name wasn't chosen casually, because it's a word that's used in both Asgardian and English.

Even the meanings they represent are almost the same... This is a very interesting phenomenon.

Just like the word "mother," the pronunciation of this word is basically the same in almost all languages ​​around the world.

Whether on the bustling streets of Beijing, along the romantic banks of the Paris River, or in the steel jungle of New York, the sounds of children calling for their mothers are strikingly similar—the word "mama" has a similar pronunciation in almost every language. Behind this seemingly simple phenomenon lies a long and fascinating history, a vibrant subject for anthropology and linguistics.

Some people in my country may think that the word "mother" is a loanword, since the pronunciation of "mother" is similar to that in many foreign languages ​​such as English and French.

In fact, the history of the terms "baba" and "mama" for parents in Chinese can be traced back to the *Guangya* compiled by Zhang Yi of the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period: "Ba is the variant of father." "Ma is mother." This means that the terms "baba" and "mama" already existed at that time, so the term is not a loanword. Moreover, according to the *Han Dian* dictionary, "Ba: phono-semantic compound. From father, with the sound of 'ba'." This shows that in classical Chinese, the character for father was pronounced "ba." However, in the long history of my country, there is a more traditional term for parents: "die niang" (爹娘).

Compared to "father and mother," the terms "father and mother" sound more modern and official, which is why many people mistakenly believe that "father and mother" originated from outside the family.

In fact, the seemingly down-to-earth terms "爹娘" (diēniáng) are actually loanwords. The character "爹" (diē) is recorded in the *Guangyun* dictionary: "爹. The Qiang people call their father, pronounced 'zhī xié qiè'." This shows that the character did not originate from Chinese, but was created by the Qiang people. The character "娘" (niáng) appears in the classics of the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties; it was the term used by the northern nomadic peoples to refer to their mother.

Therefore, in ancient my country, parents were always referred to as "ba ma" (爸妈). Since the term "mama" (妈妈) is so similar across languages, what does it look like in other languages?
When human babies are first born, their tongues cannot move as flexibly as adults'; they can only produce sounds that do not require the use of the tongue.

The easiest sound to pronounce is "a," which is produced close to the larynx with minimal tongue movement. This is why the cry of newborns worldwide often includes the sound "a," a crucial step in establishing an independent breathing system. As babies try other sounds, they discover that the "m" sound is also easy to produce. This is a nasal sound, requiring only a closed mouth and nasal passage, without the tongue. Thus, the sound "ma" naturally emerges. Interestingly, this phenomenon isn't limited to Chinese; in almost all languages, a child's first word contains, to some extent, the "m" sound, such as "mom" in English and "maman" in French. Later, babies will produce more sounds, such as "b" and "p," both of which are plosive sounds that don't require the tongue.

Thus, the sounds "ba" and "pa" were added to the baby's vocabulary. In most languages, the word for father includes these two sounds, such as "爸爸" in Chinese, "pop" in English (English slang for father), and "papa" in French.

As we've learned before, after birth, before babies begin using their tongues to form syllables, they tend to use sounds that don't require the tongue, such as "a," "m," "b," and "p." This explains why the pronunciation of "dad" is so similar in languages ​​around the world. However, it's important to note that these similar pronunciations aren't necessarily because babies are calling for their fathers, but simply because they are trying and practicing various sounds. In other words, this global similarity in the names of "dad" and "mom" is merely a coincidence, not a conscious language formation. This has also been confirmed in the evolution of some languages.

For example, in Manchu, the father is called "Ama" and the mother is called "Eniang." These two words are quite different from the pronunciation patterns of "papa" and "mama" that we've discussed, likely because Manchu's linguistic rules differ from those of languages ​​like Chinese, English, and French. However, regardless of language evolution, babies all over the world naturally utter the syllables of "papa" and "mama" when they make their first sounds.

Of course, the word "love" isn't for any of the reasons mentioned above; it's probably just a beautiful coincidence!
LOVE, translated as "love," encompasses various emotional forms, including romantic love, familial love, friendship, and fondness for things. Its emotional intensity is higher than that of "like." The letters in the word etymologically have symbolic meanings: L (loyalty), O (dedication), V (courage), and E (joy), emphasizing emotional investment and responsibility.

L – Loyalty – Loyalty.

What is loyalty? It's an essential quality for the one you love. Without loyalty, there is no love. Both parties must wholeheartedly dedicate their love to each other; it's a testament to their views on love and a responsibility towards their relationship. In short, loyalty is indispensable to true love.

O – Observance – Attentiveness.

What does it mean to be attentive? It's easy to think of being attentive to the one you love, but of course, don't forget to be attentive to yourself as well. If you can't be attentive to yourself, who can you be attentive to? Therefore, being attentive to yourself and treating yourself well is indispensable. Attentiveness is a two-way street; understanding love with attentiveness will make the love between two people stronger. In short, attentiveness is the bridge of love, leading to the depths of each other's hearts.

V – Valiant – Courage.

What is courage? Perhaps it's the essential weapon for winning love. This weapon is easily obtained, as it resides within each individual, yet it's also something people desperately seek. Love requires courage—the courage to face one's love, to ensure no regrets remain, the courage to fight for it, and the courage to strive for the one you love. In short, courage is the weapon of love, protecting and safeguarding it.

E – Enjoyment – ​​Joy.

What is joy? It is the fruit obtained after receiving or experiencing all of the above. Although it is still an unripe fruit, seeing the fruit form makes you know that your previous efforts have been rewarded, and therefore you are both immersed in joyful happiness. At this point, the fruit of love has formed, and you and your partner will need to nurture this hard-won fruit together. In short, the joy at this moment is an affirmation of love, existing for love itself.

Love is interpreted as affection or fondness. It is an emotion that originates from the heart and has many interpretations in Chinese, ranging from the slight satisfaction a person receives from something (such as my love for eating these foods) to dying for something (such as patriotism or a romantic relationship).

It can be used to describe the intense feeling, emotion, or emotional state of affection. In daily life, it usually refers to interpersonal love. Perhaps because it is the foremost of emotions, love is the most common theme in art. Love is sometimes described as an obsession—compulsive disorder. The best definition of love might be to take the initiative to treat an individual (a person, object, or deity) with sincerity, bringing happiness to the whole. In short, love is the initiative to bring happiness to the whole. Love is innate, so it can be considered a characteristic of humanity; in other words, love is one of the essential qualities that humans must possess. Although cultural differences among the world's peoples make a universal definition of love difficult to articulate, it is not impossible. Love can include love of the soul or heart, love of law and organization, love of oneself, love of food, love of money, love of learning, love of power, love of honor, love of others, and countless others. Different people place different degrees of importance on the love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept; it can be experienced but is difficult to express in words. Philosophers say love is a special medium that makes one radiant and youthful; writers say love is a stirring lyric poem that stirs the heart and ignites passion; doctors say love is a rare and precious psychological remedy that clears the mind and dispels sorrow; educators say love is an unparalleled educational tool that leads to academic success and boundless energy. Our education, in essence, is education with love—teaching students what love is, what to love, and how to love. Education without love is like a tree without roots, water without a source. Education lacking love becomes a desert, a lifeless wasteland; education lacking love becomes rotten wood, lifeless withered branches and decaying leaves; education lacking love becomes a dried-up river, lifeless and parched. If every teacher loves their students as they love their own children, there will be no student they cannot teach; if every teacher loves their profession as they love their own body, there will be no education they cannot provide. Throughout history, love has always been praised, and it can be said to be the most beautiful kind of love! There are many love stories that people love to talk about! The tragedy of love is sad, from the well-known Chinese story of "The Butterfly Lovers" to "Romeo and Juliet," all of which are literary tragedies of love. However, love, like justice, remains an unchanging theme in the human world.

In short, these are Thor and Sif's best wishes for this little guy.

After all, although Geer's madness had nothing to do with her, it was still something that bothered people.

So they wanted Lav to grow up in a safer and better environment, which led to the scene where they approached Kai.
