October Donation Pets 157 & 158: Black & Calico Tienko

[Airasyraye]

...it's a Chinese word, if I'm not mistaken. (I might be, I have problems keeping the Asian languages apart, except Japanese.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tienko

You sure 'bout that...?

Well, first, I did say I could be wrong. And so I was. At least, in the fact that Wikipedia assures us it's a city on the Ivory Coast, but nothing else.

Also, I also found "tienko" in Taiwan-The Republic of China, hence my mistake-(Tienko Ting, a Chi-enhancing practitioner and an Aerospace Engineer) and Netherlands (Tienko Siersema, a Management Consultant, and Tienko Rasker, Senior Director New Business Development at Philips) sites, so just because it's a city in Africa with French history doesn't mean it etymology isn't Asian in nature. Granted, I can't find it's exact etymology, but that means it could be asian, it could be french, and I'm limited by my English.

These Tienkos are really pretty. I especially like the black one

I'll be getting a couple when I get my next paycheck :3

.. Hurr.
Tien for 'ghost' or 'spirit',
Ko as in neKO.


You guys are silly, and think too hard.

Beautiful work, Niwer!

I figured the Ko part had to do with neko but was wondering what the tien part was. Thanks Niwer for telling us.

I love kitties, but I can only afford to black now. they are so expensive in gold...

I love both, but I really like the calico as well.

Hatch, my eggs, so I can get more!

I second this.

Still, Niwer, can you blame us? We like trying to find the inspiration for the beautiful creatures you guys make, and so I went to look up "Tienko" and get... a Chi practitioner. :tard:

I didn't know it was an compound of two words! If I had, it might have been easier, although translation sites still fail with "tien" as much as they did with "tienko." The only one I can find is Dutch for "ten."

-waits [im]patiently for October 31st and her boy black-
