I think it's about time I gather my tribe's vocabulary and nomenclature. I've put this off too long and I am surprised how much I actually have... Please feel free to offer suggestions and/or critique. I am not good with languages. :P

I am trying to convey a sense of "elegant orcen" with the Kaaer language. It is a amalgamation of orcen, Kuglimz and Antislar nomenclature with a sprinkling of Styrash (from the Lost Ones' influence).

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all.

A suggestion for the Kaaer'dar'shin dagger? "hol'noq". A part of the stalker

lies a certain point where they are not joined together and where, by stooping,
one might pass under the roof of the heavens.

Good idea, Valan. How about:

noq - stalker
h'ak - sword (blade) (orcen)
y' - small (orcen)

y'noq'ha'k (lit. "(small) stalker blade/sword")

pronounced "ee - noke (rhymes with "poke") - hack"

The word could possibly shortened from that formal term to simply "noq'hak" (lit. "stalker blade") which is smoother to pronounce.

It's a Caltharian female name - see here.

Art - Queen Shawaldah, wife of Dagolth, from which tribe has she been, can't see this from the name.
07 February 2012, 13:07:36
Well, no problem with that - every help here is appreciated! :)
07 February 2012, 13:06:07
Yes, it seemed a bit easier than to restart/finish my big projects

We've got until 200 a.S. so far, so yup, from then on we'd need more. Are you planning to work on the next hundred years or so?

Art - the Golden Age of Kings, after Dagold would be the next to write down, or did I miss something?

Oh, and I've now also spotted the piece - among so many other great one's you've gathered there!

Bonus suggestion: Never knew that Phylicia Rashad from the Cosby Show is such a great gospel singer - see here, start at ca. 4:30 - really great voice!
