The Weyiwi (WPA: ['ẠẠ.WĨRY.YIIW]), also known by their endonym Wiksook (WPA: [WĨRY.KSO̊O̊!]), are a sophont species that inhabit the planet Weyiw.
Description
Weyiwi have a tri-radial body plan, with three eyes, three manipulators, and three legs. Their nervous system is decentralized between the three sections, with three 'brains' that each oversee their own body section. Although each body section may move independently, the nervous system is able to smoothly coordinate each section.
Speech
Weyiwi oral anatomy is vastly different from humanoid sophonts like humans and the Bzhao. Each phonating organ is responsible for a different aspect of speech. Generally, each of the three may be responsible for a different linguistic task, with one 'syllable' able to contain the basic semantic meaning, the speakers attitude towards the statement, and other paralinguistic information.
History
First Contact
The precise date of first contact is unknown, but it is estimated that humans and Weyiwi were known to each other by the 21st century AAI through trade. Their relationship with humanity has consistently been peaceful, with only one quickly-resolved dispute officially recorded on both sides on 2344 with the Star Republic of Artashia.
Disputes with the Sorioyans
Historically, the Weyiwi and the Sorioyans struggled to maintain peace, with the two frequently engaging in armed conflict to control strategic resource extraction sites.
Culture
Names
Due to the nature of the Weyiwi nervous system, a Weiyiwi individual may generally have three 'consciousnesses', with each section having its own personality and preferences. As such, a Weyiwi individual is given three names at birth—their trinomina, one for each body section. However, a Weyiwi is never referred to by other Weyiwi individuals with their trinomina, instead they use their clan name along with their generational ranking within that clan.
The full name of Weyiwi signatory Kiq 28-1 s written in WPA as [ROORX SẠW 'I! KỊQ 28-1], with the first three syllables being the trinomina of each body section, and [KỊQ] being the clan of Kiq, and [28] bearing their generation ranking of being the twenty-eighth generation, and [-1] bearing their seniority ranking within the generation, the firstborn.
