I wonder if Miqo'te can purr

[ExKage]

I just assume that my polite male Miqo'te retainer is purring when his dialogue is as follows:
"How may I be of serrrvice, madam/sir?"
"I have rrreturned, madam/sir."
"My rrreport is rrready, madam/sir."
"If there is naught else, I will rrresume my venture."
"Excellent decision, madam/sir. Venturrres are my speciality."
"It is an honor to serrrve, madam/sir."

My Qote waifu purrs, so yes.

[Hueste]

Weoh, I might be late to this but as far as I know is that Seekers with a H or R in their name are pronounced as a hissing/purring tone, however that's only for clans that they do it (inside their clan), hence why no one else does it whenever they pronounce miqo'te names. Since people also can't do that kind of hissing/ purring sound that only miqo'tes can do, in actuality you shouldn't be pronouncing the h/ r's in a miqo'tes name.. funny for example Y'shtola's actual pronunciation is ya-stoe-la, but ever cut-scene we get it as Yi-shtoe-la or Ya-shtoe-la (or maybe I hear those two due to my bad hearing..)

In short, yeh.. miqo'tes can purr, but that's only tribes miqo'tes that do it, not the ones who live in cities etc.

The naming convention thread notes that Miqo'te are capable of certain pronunciations that the other races struggle to reproduce. Particularly the hard H has a hiss to it in certain Seeker tribe names.

I wonder if this, and the long Rs, has less to do with their vocal cords and more to do with their fanged teeth and textured tongues. I'm not 100% on their tongues having the sandpaper texture of most cats, but Moonkeepers, at least, have prominent fangs.

I mean, the shape and placement of teeth has a very notable effect on how words are formed, too.

That would apply more to Keepers, not Seekers though. Keepers have fangs, Seekers do not (they have the slit pupils instead). Whether their tongues are more textured or not is a mystery for now (I don't recall it being mentioned yay or nay anywhere)
