A New Collaborative Wiki-Walking Initiative from the Moribund Institute
Here is the word-by-word translation of 새로운 계획을 시작해요.
| Korean | Romanization | Part of speech | English meaning | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 새로운 | saeroun | Adjective | new | |
| 계획 | gyehoek | Noun | plan, project, initiative | |
| 을 | eul | Object marker | marks “plan” as the object | |
| 시작해요. | sijakhaeyo | Verb, polite present | start, begin |
Listen to each piece, then continue to the full sentence.
Natural English: We are starting a new initiative.
Literal English: new plan-object start.
In this sentence, means “plan,” “project,” or “initiative.” The object marker attaches to it, making , meaning “the plan” as the thing being started.
is a polite everyday form of “start” or “begin.” So the sentence literally works like:
새로운 / 계획을 / 시작해요
Natural English: “We are starting a new initiative.” More literal English: “We start a new plan.”
Tap each word before building the sentence. The tiles on the next page also play their own pronunciation.
Build the sentence: We are starting a new initiative.
새로운 계획을 시작해요.
Listen, repeat it aloud, then continue the article.

Wandering Wikis is a collaborative encyclopedia and video commentary initiative dedicated to walking through Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiversity, and other wiki-based whatnot.
Look at the picture. Which Korean word matches “walking”?
Target meaning: walking
Picture-to-word recognition trains receptive vocabulary: the learner sees a visual cue and chooses the matching Korean word.
Instead of treating wiki entries as static reference pages, we treat them as territory, landscapes to wander, interpret, annotate, and perform.
A Wandering Wikis post might include:
A casual, hangout-style walkthrough of a Wikipedia article
A brevitous lexicographical riff on a Wiktionary entry
A themed presentation aligning presenter aesthetics with the word
A CRT-screen recording of a wiki entry
A VTuber exploring an obscure term
A Gopherpedia dive
A niche-OS browsing session
A maximalist digression by a self-aware ultracrepidarian
In short: wiki entries, but alive.
If you wander through wiki-based knowledge systems for curiosity, performance, or playful interpretation, you are a Wikivagant.
Wikivagant (noun) - A person who wanders through wiki-based knowledge systems such as Wikipedia or Wiktionary.
Wandering Wikis embraces experimental presentation.
Some early examples include:
Using webcam filters or avatar software to visually align with the theme of a word (e.g., icy aesthetic for winter-bound)
Avatar-based presenters matching the tone of entries like using a pig avatar for the term 'pigheaded'
Casual, low-pressure hangout walkthroughs (e.g., Lozenge)
Pronunciation explorations of obscure terms like oryctognosy
The format is flexible. The only requirement is curiosity.
Whether you are:
A lexicographical enthusiast
A video essayist
A VTuber lover
A language nerd
A CRT maximalist
A casual wiki reader
Or simply wiki-curious
You are welcome to wander.

The Moribund Institute is pleased to announce the launch of the MorDictionary Bear Blog, the editorial wing of our meme-powered, ad-free, hyperspecific dictionary project.
MorDictionary has always existed as more than a static reference work. It is a living lexicographical workshop. The main MediaWiki archive preserves definitions, neologisms, hyperspecific phrasings, and experimental entries. It is structured, indexed, and built for longevity.
The Bear Blog serves a different function.
If the wiki is the archive, this is the workshop journal.
Here we document the philosophy behind our definitions, explore the aesthetics of lexicography, comment on notable entries, share technical experiments, and publish reflections on language culture. It is lighter, more narrative, and more discursive than the structured dictionary itself.
This launch marks another step in the Moribund Institute’s broader mission: accelerating the velocity of ideas through open, playful, and technically literate educational projects.
MorDictionary remains:
Meme-powered
Functional
Ad-free
Open-source friendly
Unapologetically expressive
The Bear Blog now provides the editorial space to explain why.
