Your'e using that spreadsheet of elvish words that mixes Sindarin and some of the recurring Forgotten Realms elements, right?

I just noticed the use of "'Tel" several times, and and "cath" for cat, that isn't Sindarin or Quenya.

Not complaining, mind you, just curious, as I use that for Realms elves too

For non Realms I use straight Tolkein though.

My current grey elven evoker/incantatrix is named Valthalion Daethil, and his thrush familiar is named Ran-Palan. I'm thinking of of naming his glasteel longsword Lachluin.

Yeah, Aaron. I'm using a translation PDF from Tel'Mithrim(The Grey Company). I know it uses a lot of the FR stuff, like seldarine and the word for soul spider, things like that. I actually didn't catch that tel' or cath thing either, thanx for informing me, as I'll make the appropriate changes to translations in this thread. Anyone who wants a more accurate translation of things done in the old thread should request them here.

Just lettin' people know this thingy exists.

Goddess FallenAngel · Nov 1, 2003

I don't suppose you do English to Drow translations, do you? Or know of a place I can go to find them?

I am looking for the Drow translation of:
"Most fatal kiss"
"Black widow's kiss"
"Dark singer of fate"

How about...

"Daughter of a pretentious round ear"
(Or replace "round ear" with "human" or "non-elvish person", if there are derogitory and non-derogitory versions of this I would like to see both if that is not much trouble.)

Oooh, flexibility in the translation.. That always helps.

Although it doesn't help that I can't find a single elvish word meaning pretentious or any of its synonyms or synonyms of synonyms. Ah well. Or for ear, for that matter.

Got another adjective you'd like to use?

Tinu en'firimar - Daughter of Mortal
Tee-noo ahn-fee-rih-mahr

was as close as I could get. There was no real word for human, only man. Man being what elves refer to humans as(when translated), I figured you'd best be specific as to whether the human is a man or woman. If you can, I can be more specific.

Tinu en'edan - Daughter of Man
tee-noo en-edan

Tiu en'edainme - Daughter of Woman (human woman)
tee-noo en-eh-dayn-meh
