###There is no translation of the Indigo Tribe's oath. It has been speculated it is not necessarily the Oath that matters but the cadence which activates the power.
There is no translation of the Indigo Tribe's oath. It has been speculated it is not necessarily the Oath that matters but the cadence which activates the power.
The Wikipedia Entry on the Indigo Tribe's adds some commentary from the writer Geoff Johns:
As with the other Corps of the emotional spectrum, the Indigo Tribe charges its rings by reciting an oath, but uses a power staff instead of a power battery. In its first extended appearance, the Indigo Tribe speaks a language that the power ring cannot translate, although Indigo-1 later explains that her Tribe can speak languages others can understand. Regardless, the oath has only been rendered in the aforementioned fictional language. Johns (the series' writer) has said that the Corps oaths have a tempo regardless of what language they are spoken in, adding: "But speaking of languages, the Indigo Tribe speaks an interesting one."
“Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur,
Natromo faan tornek wot ur.
Ter Lantern ker lo Abin Sur,
Taan lek lek nok--Formorrow Sur!”
—Indigo-1, Blackest Night #5 (January 2010)
