Vilani language question

[Baroun Tardis]

I'm doing this Type-S build in OpenSim, and planning on doing some RP there. Sort of semi-automated Traveller...
and in the course of getting props for different things, I ran across "SF Farm" which grows different resources and lets you do normal MMORPG style crafting with them.
Which is all well and good... except...
I put all the farm stuff about 30 meters from the hangar where I'm working on the ship.
I can hear chickens and farm animals over there as I'm working on the power bus, capacitors, and laser turret....
I said to my wife, "It's a freaking redneck starport around here."

Then I realized I had a name for the place.... but just one problem.

How do you say "Redneck" in Vilani?

What is "OpenSim"?

How do you say "Redneck" in Vilani?

Pakamenima.

From the intransitive verb paka (to behave foolishly or unsoundly) -- which, when used as a prefix, becomes adjectival -- attached to the noun menima, meaning 'farm laborer'. Menima, by the way, makes no distinction between a human or robot worker, which gives you a general idea of what the Vilani thought of people who did that line of work to begin with.

A slightly less insulting version of it would be pakadikani, which translates more-or-less as 'stupid dirt-farmer'. A dikani is a type of farmer who tries to make do in an arid or desert region.

Note that paka is probably related to the very similar word pak, a noun that refers to either the sense of hearing itself or the region around the ears, depending on the context, so paka probably implies a type of foolishness or stupidity that results from the inability, or refusal, to listen (literally) to reason.

"Solomani" had me cracking up.

Open Sim is the open-source version of Second Life. Not sure if that's a useful answer - it's a virtual world thing where you can go in and build/code. The base package handles world and physics and a few other things, every thing else you can build from inside the world.

And "pakadikani" sounds like where I want to go...
I might leave the paka off, and just go with "Dikani Port"
Thank you!
