Life Stages and Age-Related Milestones

The life of a θɛʃɾə is separated into three Life-Stages (gɪp’ɔm). As follows:

ɬɑgi
The first life stage, at 0 ≤ age < 12112 ɑnɾɪ, which vaguely equal to 13 years and seven months.

θɛʃɾəɾi have their naming ceremony when they are exactly 1 ɑnɾɪ of age (or more, dependent on whether the parent returns to the clan in time). During this ceremony they get their first piecings, a pair of earrings, which frequently have bells attached. At the end of this stage, they are typically at half the size of their adult form

ʍɔt̪
The second life stage, at 12112 ≤ age < 36312 ɑnɾɪ.

Growth slows in this stage, at half the speed as the first. This stage is typically when θɛʃɾəɾi start apprenticeships. At the end of this stage, they will reach their adult size and finish developing and maturing physically.

nokit̪ə
The third and final life stage, at 36312 ≤ age.

θɛʃɾəɾi should have finished physically maturing at the beginning of this stage, and are now capable of producing young and milk if conditions are met.
