Yeah, what's up with this word ? There's the console game "Soul Reaver", there's a "Reaver" prestige class in Seas of Blood, there's a "Slime Reaver" bullywug-like monster in Creature Collection 2...

According to all the English dictionaries I've consulted, be they for translation or for definition, be they paper or found on the Internet, there's no words between "reassuringly" and "reawaken". When I've asked an English teacher (who's a native englishwoman from the UK); she said she never saw that word and asked me if I didn't confused it with "reefer" ...

What does this silly word mean ?

A reaver is a raider. Case in point: vikings.

Viking is Old Norse for "raider" or "reaver." Basically, when you hear "reaver," just think of Vikings pillaging.

The biggest injustice in this thread is that FrogReaver isn't in it.

Like, c'mon! If anyone can answer him, its you! (Even though he was already answered).
