[QUOTE="The It's Man, post: 469446, member: 19"] Other words for darkness on EN world is ofcourse Shadow of My former Self ;) Anyway, as Madfox already stated there are other words for the Dutch [i]donker[/i]. The words [i]duister[/i] and [i]duisternis[/i] are very good. But that's not all. How about a not very common (regional) word for [i]duisternis[/i]: [i]Deemster[/i], it is derived from the Latin tenabrae or from the old Greek themeros; BTW [i]deemstering[/i] means twilight. For shadow I have found this: [i]Immersie[/i], it's the start of the shadow of one celestial body on another . [i]Lommer[/i], it's the shadow of the foliage of a tree and shrubs. [i]Lommering[/i], old fashioned word. [i]Nevelbeeld[/i] the image made on a mist by the shadow of the observer. ([i]nevel[/i] means mist and, [i]beeld[/i] means image) [i]Schad[/i], also a regional word, it also means the reflection in water or ice. [i]Scheem[/i], another regional word, it's also the shadow of a dead person, (kind of ghost I guess). [i]Schemering[/i] is also another word for twilight. [i]Schemer[/i] is also a word for the time between light and dark. And there are the words [i]halfduister[/i], [i]halfdonker[/i] and [i]halflicht[/i] ([i]half[/i] means half, [i]licht[/i] means light). [/QUOTE]
