Word Wall Contest |
February 1, 2018
Our first contest of 2018 will return to the tried and true Word Wall! In Skyrim, a Word Wall is an inscription in the Dragon Language that tells a short story or commemorates a hero or event. For this contest, write a Word Wall that might appear somewhere in the land of Skyrim. Winning entries will be featured in a collection here in the Library. You don’t need to be a member to enter, but if you are there’s also a Here's an example of what a contest entry might : Het pr1n balgr5f Het praan Balgruuf, Here rests Balgruuf, Contest Entry GuidelinesEntries should be roughly between 10-30 words in length, or approximately 3-5 lines. Word Walls tend to be brief and like to rely on context clues for full meaning. See the Word Walls lesson for more on grammatical patterns in Word Walls. Entries must relate to Skyrim in some way. You can be as serious or silly as you'd like. The winning entries will be those that make the best use of the language and its vocabulary. All contest entries must use the vocabulary found in the main dictionary. Entries that make use of vocabulary found in the Legacy Dictionary will not qualify for the contest. You are encouraged to make compound words and use the vocabulary as creatively as you see fit. You can submit multiple entries, but only one entry will be considered for the contest. You can send your entry in a private message to paarthurnax or send it in the body of an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Word Wall Contest – your name. In this message/email, please provide:

Zu'u koraav. So, the Legacy Dictionary isn't allowed. This should provide a newfound challenge, and probably a unique spin on this contest. I look forward to seeing the winning entries, and I'm hoping one will be mine. |

Would it be more proper to use possesive pronouns, such as [ok] or [dii], or to use possesive suffixes, like -ii or -u ? Just wondering for the sake of authenticity :) |

Drembovul Great question! Word Walls actually tend to avoid possessive suffixes, so those might be considered more conversational. |

DustyLadBro Happy to help! The lesson pages will help introduce you to the alphabet and grammar. Here's one about reading the runes. The runes can be challenging, so I'd learn words without them first. The Memrise course can help you pick up some basic vocabulary. |

In this jumping competition, your aim is to outperform every other participant and secure the top position. |
