How would one say "Dark Star"

I've been trying to figure out how to say this, guessing I would use "Krein" for star, since there doesn't seem to be a direct word for star and then "Vul" for dark, but how do you type it out? Vul Krein? Krein Vul? Kreinvul? Vulkrein? I'm unsure of how the grammar works in this case

If it's for a name, then "Vulkrein" or "Kreinvul" would both work fine. If it's to be used for something other than a name, it would probably be better to use a space, making "vul krein" or "krein vul" more accurate.

Prenominal adjectives and postnominal adjectives are more or less interchangeable in Dovahzul, as long as the syntax minimizes confusion. Use whichever works best within the sentence you're making. Like DovahKiinZaan said, more context would help us to help you better.

 

On a side note, Vulkrein is a fantastic name for fantasy in general, and I might borrow that for my D&D campaign some time.

It would be better if there was some context.

I'm actually partial to your own suggestion about Vulkrein.
