Message: <blockquote data-quote="countgray" data-source="post: 3552400" data-attributes="member: 18338">Some extra dwarven vocabulary from Ed GreenwoodEd Greenwood posted on line some additional words of dwarven in a post over in the Candlekeep forums.  The text of his post is as follows:"The dwarven language section of FR11 was kept short, because even back then there was an attitude of “Runes are okay for dungeon inscriptions, but THIS is fluff! Keep it short, and give us more new monsters and magic instead!” You’ve no doubt noticed that I tended to stick to “adventuring-situation” words. However, I quite agree that a LOT is missing.Quite honestly, I don’t have the time to work up a proper “tongue” right now, and probably won’t for a long time to come, but I can certainly expand the working Dwarvish vocabulary by listing some of the ‘missing words’ you mention, as follows:adamantine: ohloro (usually shortened to “hloro” in everyday speech)adamantite: oroarmor (plate or piece): harthchain (linked end to end in rope-like form, not armor): burrchainmail shirt: hauburrcold: thorord (“THOR-ord”)dragon: auggiant (the creatures): raullen (“RAWL-un”) (literally “tall-walker”) (plural: raraullen)gleam (reflected light, also a reflected image): spaerend (“SPAYUR-end”)goblin: usarr (plural: sarr)hammer: dorthhelm: tholdokh (“thole-DOCK”)hoard (usually of a dragon, but can be any monster-guarded treasure): augdauh (“og-DAW”)hobgoblin: usark (plural: sark)journey (‘walk’): ullen (“ULL-en”)kobold: ubol (plural: boldrin)leathers (underlayer for armor, or forge-aprons and other protection): surk (plural: surrthen)light (true, steady light, such as sunlight, moonlight, and phosphorescence): haralight hammer (the weapon): hardorth (“HAR-dorth”)light hammer (a finework tool, smaller than a hardorth): trastmithral: himral (“HIMM-rall”)pick (the tool or weapon, not the act of selection): isson (“ISS-awn”) (literally “pierce-stone”)pierce: isspriest: thaebrast (“THAY-brast”) (plural: thaebrar)shield (the item): harbarak (“HAR-bay-ur-ak”) (often shortened to “barak” in daily use)silver: thordspaer (literally “cold-gleam”)stone: onn (“AW-nnn”)tall (high): rau (“RAWW”)war: aragh (“AR-ag”)war hammer: aragh dorthwinter: arauthorord (“ar-AW-thor-ord”) (literally “great-cold”)</blockquote>
