Title: Degurgitation
(We now see that Aun is the one who has grabbed Chax's leg, and is trying to pull him back from being ejected from the Kollen.)
Aun: Nai... Nai... NAI!!
(Suddenly Aun wins the tug of war, and Chax is pulled loose from the creature's grasp. Both of them land in a heap on the floor, rather upset with each other, as the Kollen's creatures scream at them and the wormthing makes incomprehensible but seemingly taunting noises.)
One thought on “Degurgitation”
Hamachisn't
“Degurgitation”… wouldn’t that be the opposite of regurgitation, like shoving something down your throat? Before I go further with this, let me look up “gurgitation”… OH! Not at all what I’d assumed it meant.
Thank you, J, for causing me to learn another word. (At first, I didn’t expect to find “gurgitation” in the dictionary; I’d never heard the word before and assumed it was not an English word… but I assumed it was similar to “regurgitaton”, which would be doing whatever gurgitation was, again.
Now I assume that Aun has just managed to pull Chax away from whatever that was, that was trying to suck him in… so regurgitation would have been if whatever it was blew (or pushed) Chax out, and Aun pulling him out was the degurgitation.
Meanwhile, since “gurgitation” necessarily deals with liquids, I guess that Chax is the liquid in this base.
