Basque in order confirmation emails

[uneven bison]

credit to @normal harness for first noticing this in #theories. his bfx hoodie email says "ekaina" which means June in Basque. i noticed the same in my doubt demo email. the breach confirmation email i got also says "iraila" which means September.

ekaina comes from eki (sun) and gaina (on top), so sun on top i.e. solstice, when the sun reaches it's maximum declination / distance from the equator.
iraila comes from ira (fern) and hil (moon / month). ferns are symbolic for new beginnings and resilience. one of the other translations of iraila is ear month (as in ear of corn).

this might mean that the contract is going to show Clancy coming out on top, and breach will be a new beginning for him and the banditos (while blessing our ear holes). even if that isn't what this signifies, this is too weird to be a coincidence imo. a quick search through this discord shows Basque has come up before as well

Bruh its just the release dates bro it depends on which country you order from

[normal harness]

The rest of the email is in English and I live nowhere near where people would speak Basque

Mine says september and it's apparently being shipped from the UK. Maybe it has something to do with the country it's being shipped from?

[normal harness]

It's also being shipped from the UK, Idk

[uneven bison]

same for me, Basque isn't spoken here and it's also being shipped from the UK

[fallow iron]

Just wanted to point out that it also says "September 5, 2025" for the release date of Breach 👀 My confirmation email only says September 2025

[rare sphinx]

Interesting, you might be onto something. What if it's a hint for the other code (nien eitnn) that could be translated in basque?

[uneven bison]

someone else said the same about the email they got. it's so weird how there are difference

[uneven bison]

i'm new to discord so this is probably not new info, but it translates to "I'm sorry." (full stop and all)

from google translate

[fallow iron]

Where did that code come from?

[lunar plank]

while it is weird it's in basque i do have to agree with that one person that theyre just release dates and that the label and shopify i believe are responsible for the webstore, not the band.

also nien eitnn is nothing, the code is confirmed to be "breach". not to mention google translate isnt the most reliable for any kinds of translation /nm

[lunar plank]

the fpe letters in europe. left out the last h tho

[cyan cedar]

especially for like obscure ish languages

[fallow iron]

Ahh okay thank you

[lunar plank]

there were also emails sent out completely in english which is another reason im skeptical*

[fallow iron]

Also, just adding this to the mix that if we see “isilik egon” anywhere that it means Stay Quiet in Basque (according to Google Translate) lol

[uneven bison]

ah didn't realise those were from the fpe letters

[uneven bison]

this is why it's weird though. how is only one word in the entire email in Basque? and why/how Basque?

[lunar plank]

it is weird for sure, but if it were intentional on their part i feel like all orders wouldve had the basque text and not a couple

also like i said it's shopify and the label handling the webstore backend* and not the boys. the webstore has had things that are significant in the past such as the dmaorg link but it was always in the frontend

not trying to shoot your theory down or anything btw im just pointing out a couple things. it is weird there are a few emails in basque but its relevance as far as lore goes im not sure

[uneven bison]

oh i get it, dw! i've only started properly diving into the lore, so everything seems more significant to me than it probably is haha

LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!

[lusty trail]

It may be worth noting that it is written as part of the item description vs Shopify settings. Also, when were the orders placed compared to the dates of those who do not have Basque or a specific release date?

Fun fact from the Basque Museum site, “Basques have a long-standing history of self-determination, which has resulted in resistance to external political, religious, and social control. This has caused internal division and strife with nation-states such as Spain and France that has resulted in a global Basque diaspora.”

[wheat knoll]

Mine just says September

[uneven bison]

that could be it. i preordered both on the day they were announced

[uneven bison]

whew this slipped my mind but what a parallel

[wheat knoll]

I ordered the day it was announced

[lusty trail]

Could be nothing, I would be curious to see if others who had the month in Basque were just in Europe or if orders in other countries had it show up also.

[coarse harbor]

there is nothing related with the Basque mithology on those months so idk (im from the Basque country btw)

[jagged niche]

I pre ordered the day it went live and mine says september

[hidden locust]

I just ordered, based in the Netherlands, says the order will ship from the UK and it says 'iraila' as well 🤔

Ordered it from the EU store: https://twentyonepilots.warnerartists.net/eu/?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twentyonepilots.com%2F

[hidden locust]

It's probably nothing, but Charles-Denis Bourbaki, the general that the Nico Bourbaki group was named after, died in Bayonne, which is in French Basque area

It's just weird that the date would be in Basque, it's not a common language

[lusty trail]

Agreed!

A death may be coming (a car a torch a death)
