RESILIENCE REPOSITORY
ROACH In Andrzej Sapkowski‘s series, “The Witcher,” the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, affectionately names all of his horses Plotka. This is the feminine, diminutive (endearing) form of Ploć, which is a European freshwater fish called roach in English. Geralt prefers to ride mares, and his fondness for them is evident in the choice of the (more correctly translated) sweet name Roachie.
The Resilience Repository is a collection of literary knowledge and writing wisdom with definitions, concepts, and insights spanning traditional literature and the fantastical worlds created by our crew and passengers.
Whenever we find words in the posts that we believe may be new or difficult, we link them to the repository page where they are explained. Linked words are always underscored. Let us know if the word/concept you’re looking for isn’t here and we’ll try to add it as soon as we can.
