Foreign language words for Shadow?

[RangerWickett]

Need some help from the linguistically minded of you. Could you please post different words for shadow in different languages? Also, dark, eclipse, obscure, or night?

It'd be great if you could cover the bases from a lot of different languages. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, various Native American, various African, German, Old English. If you think it's necessary, please include a pronunciation guide.

Thanks.

Japanese:
Night - Yoru.

Old English:
Dark - Dox.

Eclipse = eclipse (This one was hard)
Obscure = obscure (This one was harder )

Don't know how I can write the pronunciation...
