Unknown translation

I am curious if there is a translation for the word "underworld" or "undead" I am unsure if there is one or not.

The word for "undead" is diil, coming from dilon 'death'.

There is no word for "underworld," unfortunately. The Elder Scrolls universe doesn't really have an underworld, so the dragon language doesn't have a word for it. The closest might be oblivionalthough there's a lot to unpack with that word.
