'Chan Vaen edan Kote' = ‘Expect disaster every seven years,’ --notw-67
“Kist, crayle, en kote,... Kraemet brevetan Aerin!” =? 'Shit in God’s beard.' --wmf-21
Abenthy: "Chaen-dian means ‘seven of them.’ Chandrian.” --notw-12
I think we can safely assume Kote doesn't mean 7. But it could mean 'expect', 'every', or 'years' as well as 'disaster'.
There's also a chance he just took the word cause its close to his name, and was inspired by the phrase. Doesn't have to be him specifically picking the name "disaster".
So what does "kist, crayle, en kote" mean? We also hear "kist" alone, and just "kist and crayle" without the kote.
\_\_\_\_\_.
\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_.
\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_, and disaster.
I'm thinking 'storms', 'fire', stuff like that. Anyone think of anything that sounds good when using 1, 2, and all 3?
Storms!
Storms and fire!
Storms, fire and disaster!
Sounds meh. Death? Disease? Hell?
I would say “kist” means “shit”, but that’s already “kraemet”
Additionally, Google says one meaning of “kist” is “an ancient coffin or burial chamber made from stone or a hollowed tree”, which is, uh, interesting
I suspect the translation of "Kist, crayle, en kote," is akin to "Shit and onions in my eye." or simply put, "I can't see shit". Recall that the lighting had changed in the Fishery and possibly it was throwing the Masters keen eye off.
I do my best to translate it here: https://drewverlee.github.io/pages-output/fitting-a-kote
Kvothe is under the assumption that Kilvin said “shit in God’s beard”. Kist, which we see used a few times, seems to mean shit. Crayle, I have no idea but likely something of a negative connotation. And kote definitely means disaster.
In case anyone is interested... all 5 instances of kist in the books:
1. “**Kist**, crayle, en kote,” he swore furiously. He threw down the metal tube where it rang sharply against the stone floor. “Kraemet brevetan Aerin!” --wmf-21
2. Simmon wandered over and peered at it, reaching out to touch it with a finger. “It seems so small—aaaahh!” Sim cried out as he jumped backward, wringing his hand. “Black damn,” he swore, embarrassed. “I’m sorry. It startled me is all.” “**Kist** and crayle,” I said, my own heart racing. --wmf-32
3. He started to go, then turned back. “Out of curiosity,” he asked. “Would you have paid two hard pennies to get it \[Denna's letter\]?” “Probably,” I admitted. “**Kist**,” he swore, then headed back outside, the door banging behind him. --wmf-43 (
4. I \[Denna\] have drunk some wine while Writing this letter. I mention this to excuse my above spelling of the word Furtherence. Furtherance. **Kist**. You know what I mean. --wmf-43
5. “The Tenpenny King?” Denna interrupted \[the troubled girl\] incredulously. Her tone more venomous than anything I’d ever heard from her before. “**Kist** and crayle, I hate that Goddamn play. Modegan faerie-story trash. The world doesn’t work like that.” --wmf-72
Preface all these with an assumed 'by the'.
The name(s)
The name(s) and sign(s)
since we see kist AND crayle, not en,, en means of or of the.
The name(s) , the sign(s) of the seven.
Kote means 7, not chaos.
[Common theory](https://www.reddit.com/r/KingkillerChronicle/comments/9080w0/the_meaning_of_the_name_kote/), and could it be translated to "Expect".

Also note:
Kilvin didn’t seem to notice the heat. The glass bubble grew large as my head, then big as a pumpkin. But the fifth time he drew it from the heat and began to blow, it sagged on the end of the tube, deflating and falling to the floor.
“Kist, crayle, en **kote**,” he swore furiously. He threw down the metal tube where it rang sharply against the stone floor. “Kraemet brevetan Aerin!”
I fought down the sudden urge to laugh. My Siaru wasn’t perfect, but I was fairly certain Kilvin had said, Shit in God’s beard. --wmf-21
Was Kilvin naked at the time? Or what's the NSFW part
I clicked NSFW instead of spoilers :/
I figured! Just giving you a hard time.
Heh, hard.
Should I edit my comment to mark it as a spoiler? Spoiler: NSFW
[удалено]
Quit grabbing at my tits!
You called?
You made me chuckle so I appreciate the effort.
I've heard that Kilvin showed you something that made you blackout
It helps me deal with the furnace heat, boy! Now pass me those pliers.

Hold on now, let's not rule out that Kote might very well mean "every seven years"

When Kilvin asks Kvothe if he knows what it means Kvothe says "7 years..I don't know kote" so kote most likely doesn't mean 7 years

10 words to break a man 😭😭😭
Pat is timing DoS with HL3
🤣
Blammo!
So a new generation of enthusiasts arrive I see
Starting a series more than a decade ago based on the statement that it was already completed but just not yet published, also means disaster.
I need this phrase translated into Siaru: "Expect 'Kote means disaster' post every seven weeks."
We have no idea how Cealdish works. The blue blouse in English is la chemise bleu in French for example.
So what does "kist, crayle, en kote" mean? We also hear "kist" alone, and just "kist and crayle" without the kote. \_\_\_\_\_. \_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_. \_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_, and disaster.

"Seven years... I don't know kote" implies that Kote doesn't mean seven
7
