And at first I was like oh well maybe, but that’s What Their Name Is, officially speaking. Because everyone I’ve seen refer to the TM in mando’a uses haat- the tag “haat mando’ade” has been made a synonym for “true mandalorian character(s)” on ao3 by tag wranglers, tumblr mando blogs use it, and the archivum version of the wiki explicitly states it. But I just tried to look around for where and how I got the impression that was their official name and realized it seems 100% fanon? Unless I am forgetting something in RepComm or one of the sourcebooks? It’s actually not a name mentioned anywhere on Wookiepedia. Did the Ba'jurne Kyr'tsad Mando'ad use any mando’a to this effect? I can’t find my copy. 

If it has no official source, then my guess would be that fans probably used it because there’s another phrase “haat o’r an nuhune” which is translated by the official Traviss dictionary as “many a true word spoken in jest” just to show what irl saying it is a parallel of, even though it also has the actual transliteration in which haat is still truth. Do we have a wider tradition in mando’a of making some nouns into verbs without actually changing them (esp because haatyc already means sm different)? 

“There’s precedent, if we consider the sacking of Kuar in Indomitable’s reign, and Hammerborn’s plans for Naboo, and of course Vindicated had the...” She trailed off, head tilted, staring off into the space between them. Mereel shifted, opened his mouth to respond, and her attention sharpened. “There can be no argument that the governmental structure in place is worth keeping.”

Her hand splayed flat on the table, pressed hard enough that the tips of her fingers, visible through transparent nails, turned pale with lack of circulation. “Once the Elders are killed or broken, make Melidaan part of Mandalorian space. It’s already right on the spur of it. There are Crusader ruins in the outer asteroid conglomerate.” 

Mereel shook his helm. “We’d be justified, no doubt about it, but the stakes are too high to be hasty. Death Watch will take it as my stance weakening, while the New Mandalorians will take it as proof that the Haat’ade and Kyr’tsad are the same. The Republic, too, would call it slaughter, and they would be right.”

The armorer barked a single harsh laugh, tossed her head to momentarily bare her throat for that extra bite of derision. Goading. “What was your contract on Korda VI if not a slaughter? A hired one, contractual, and one your forces did not fulfill, since something more important came to the fore. But still a slaughter.”

In the blink of an eye she’d drawn her hammer to stretch across the table to just touch Mereel’s iron heart. Alpha knew that tone of voice. He braced the balls of his feet that much more firmly on the floor, just in case.

“Here then is your contract, Mand’alor the Headhunter; I speak as the elder sister to the leader of unified Melidaan, and I say you will take this world in the name of its Young. This waste planet may fall but its children shall not die for your fear of being thought a conqueror.”
