Wenja Language: salwa

Smarkaka, salwa!  "Salwa" is a word that we've used quite a bit in the last couple weeks in our Wenja lessons, though it's never been explicitly discussed.  Meaning "all, whole, entire", salwa is another word you'll hear frequently throughout Oros, both in the open world and in the cinematics.  Salwa Urusim, if you will.

Take the following scene with Tensay, where he discusses your vision of the Izila apocalypse.

Tensay: Nay. Shancha Urusis. Shancha salwas!
             "No.  End of Oros.      End of all!"



But salwa is also used in another context, one that is perhaps even more common. For this meaning, let's examine a quest that you receive in the open world.

Random Quest Giver:  U shrawman yaka, Takkar. Wadar salwa daha, ha pafi.
                                     "Heal the river, Takkar.       Make the water safe for drinking."



Here we can see the other meaning of salwa: "safe". Though it may seem strange at first, think of the English word whole, which means both "all" (the whole shebang) and "safe" (I feel whole).

This use of salwa as both "all" and "safe" is something we can observe in the related words in the IE languages. PIE *sólwo- (< *solh₂wo- via the Saussure Effect) is continued by loads of words in Indo-European, including Sanskrit sarva- 'every', Greek. hólos 'whole; safe', and Latin salvus 'safe' and sollus 'all'.  For Greek hólos in English, see words like holo-gram and holo-cene, Latin salvus is the source of English save as well as salva-tion.

Tu sakwan prasti!

Features

Rebuild: You can rebuild your img archive.

Import: The standard import feature. You can import one or more items into the .img file. Import and remove Before importing, the tool checks if the item is already in the img archive and delete it. This is very useful, if you want insert many items, because you don't need delete the items by yourself.

Export: The standard export feature. You can export one or more items out of the .img file.

Rename: You can rename an item in the img archive.

Search: You can search for items inside the img archive. Search dialog This is very useful! With this dialog you can search for files. It works like the Windows search. You need just select the directory, and all *.txd and *.dff files, which are inside this directory, will be shown you in a list. Then you can select the items which you want to insert. The search is recursive. The founded items will be inserted with the 'import and remove' feature.

Export as list: You can export the content of the img file into a list - that's only useful, if you want to create your own 'compare'-files.

Compare: You can compare your current img file with an compare-file. The compare-file is a file, in which are all possible img entries of an img file are listed per each line. This is useful, if you want check that your img file hasn't missing entries (and so the game should not crash!). You can create your own compare-files with the 'export as list' feature. I also have provided the compare-files for all gta img-files with this tool (see in the compare-folder).

Reload: You can reload the current opened img file - sometimes it can be useful.
