Notes
Marc Okrand's Notes: For "apathy" and "corruption," since they're animals pulled out of a pocket (if I remember correctly), he went with: "apathy" (or "apathy creature") - SaHHa'wI' "one who is not concerned" or pIlHa'wI' "unmotivated one" (that doesn't work well in this sans serif Facebook typeface!). "corruption" (or "corruption creature") - quvHa'wI' "dishonored one" If it works better to to have concepts rather than beings/animals for these words, he offered: "apathy" SaHHa'ghach ("disinterest") "corruption" quvHa'ghach ("dishonor")
