Argh! Emergency need for a name...

[Carnifex]

I'm right now in the middle of writing a post for my online campaign (story hour link in sig ), and need a name for a certain NPC. I know roughly what I want it to be - Blackscale - but I don't want it to be that obvious and in english.

Does anyone know what black scale would be in another language, say chinese or danish or something similarly odd? Maybe in saxon or something?

I need help, since I want to get the post done quickly then go to the bar!

"Svartfjäll" in Swedish.

Spanish: Negra Escala
French: Noire Échelle
Italian: Nera Scala

sorry that's all I know

Try Tewlcroghen, it's, literally, "Dark Skin", in Cornish. (Or, so says my translator.) I think it sounds kinda cool, and if you play with the letters a bit...

Sable Wyvernhide!

 

[Altalazar]

Chornure Yacheashira

That is Black Scale in Russian, roughly.

(Chore-nure Ya-Cheshire-ya)

According to my wife, that is, and my own english interpretation of it (she's Russian, I'm not)

Thanks all! I think I'll go with Tewlcroghen - I reckon it sounds pretty cool
