Translation help

Hi, I saw a post on facebook where someone was looking for the translation to "Toothless".
So I though I might help her. But I cant find the translation for either "Tooth" or "Less".
I'm pretty sure that Toothless isn't a word, but mabye if you combine the two it sounds cool.

Mabye I just haven't looked enough, but I can't find them. So any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Canon Dovahzul doesn't have a word for tooth directly, but it does have words for without: "voth nid" (with not)

You will need to describe "toothless" in a roundabout way to fit it within Dovahzul.

Here's my suggestion:

"Hidden rip/tear" Vonunvaaz

That describes how he rips into pretty, but with hidden (retractable) teeth. Downside is that it's no longer kid-friendly...

Thanks, I shall let her know.

It does sound way cooler to say it like that, and it looks like the way the Dovah would say it.

Not sure if that was what she was thinking of but. Thanks anyway for the fast answer :)
