"Yaafganaa…"
―Gran saying, roughly equivalent to "my god…"[1]

Gran was the native language of the species of the same name[1] that hailed from the planet Kinyen.[3] "Yaafganaa…" was one term in the Gran language, which roughly translated to "my god…" in Galactic Basic Standard.[1] At some point between 41 BBY and 32 BBY,[4] The Gran supervisor of a mining outpost on the second moon of the planet Codia I used this phrase after discovering that the miner Rosack Denahst had been driven insane.[1]

  2. ↑ Obi-Wan 2 establishes that Gran is the native language of the species of the same name. Since Knights of Fate establishes that the Gran originated on the planet Kinyen, it can be deduced that the language was spoken there.

  4. ↑ In the flashbacks seen in Obi-Wan 2, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn go on a mission. Padawan depicts Kenobi's first mission, and since Obi-Wan 2 depicts a different mission, it must take place after. As Jinn is still alive in the flashback, it must take place before his death. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the novel to 41 BBY and Jinn's death to 32 BBY, the flashback must take place between those two years
