Feet or legs

How do you say “legs” or feet” I’m doing a fast character with slow time and whirlwind sprint and I want the name “feet like wind” or “legs like wind” as my argonian fast character

There is no word for feet (yet). Ogiir med ven means Leg's like wind (Not entirely canon) Qobo ogiir is Swift legs (Not canon)  or you might like the name Swift runner for your character, that would be Qobo rukaan (Again it is not canon)

For a name like that, I'd recommend using other words that would fit the character. For example, bo means "fly/go" and ru means "run" (but with connotations of retreating from danger). You could combine those with ven, "wind," or viing, "wing," to get a good Dovah name.

Each Dovah name uses three rotmulaag, so to create a name like a Dovah, choose the three monosyllabic canon words that you think would best fit that individual. These words don't include articles like "the" or prepositions like "like" or "of." Avoid those, and stick to nouns, verbs, and adjectives when finding your three rotmulaag

So, using the words I gave you above, we could come up with some good names.

Boruven = Go Run Wind

Venboviing = Wind Fly Wing

Viingboven = Wing Fly Wind

 

I especially like "Boruven." The consonant-syllable-consonant pattern is appealing and sounds almost like it could fit in with the naming conventions of a few different races in Tamriel. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Bosmer bear that name, or even an Argonian!
