Planescape Torement's Githzerai sayings
In PST, one of the most distinct things about the githzerai is their speech pattern. They place a heavy emphasis on 'knowing' the world around them, and commonly use metaphors and historical references in their words. So! Small complication of those I could find. Note that most of these are said by Dak'kon, and I will specify if they are said by someone else. If I missed any, feel free to add them!
"Ach'ali Drowning" - Said by Dak'kon when hurt. Ach'ali was a foolish githzerai who drowned in the sea of Limbo after asking so many useless questions that her focus, and shelter, collapsed in on her
"As twisted as Fri'hi's roots" - A complicated matter. Could not find any information of Fri'hi.
"Hashma's folly" - To cheat, used in the context of cheating in a bet. Said by Gaoha. Could not find info on Hashma, though it is also the name of an Egyptian sand-stone but I doubt that's what the writers were referring to.
"Hail, sword ringer" and "Zerchai's kin bow to you" - common greetings, to which one responds "And the traveler is pleased". Could not find any information on Zerchai.
To be as "Rrakma's Jewel" - In agreeance on a situation, specifically used in reference to Dak'kon's banishment. Said by Kii'na. Rrakma, usually spelled as Rrakkma, are githzerai war bands that hunt down illithids. Could not find information on Rrakma's jewel.
"Tachia's Folly" - Said by Dak'kon when he rolls a critical miss. The exact meaning is unknown because I could not find any information on Tachia, but seems to be Dak'kon reprimanding himself for a lack of discipline similar to 'ach'ali drowning'
"T'cha's choice" - A situation where you have no choice/only the illusion of choice. Could not find any information on T'cha.
"Their cupboards are bare" - Something said of a generous person
"Vilquar's Eye" or "Vilquar's heart beats in your chest" - To accuse another of treason. Latter saying is from Kii'na. Vilquar was an enslaved gith who acted as a spy for the illithids, only to be consumed by them once Zerthimon tricked him into thinking he'd won.
"Wrote the book of Anarchs" - Said in reference to a person being wise. Anarchs are those in githzerai communities responsible for maintaining stability in the chaotic plane of Limbo.
