A community for the dragon language of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

What happened to the punctuations I used to see? Am I missing them or has the community gotten rid of them? What about the numbers, I cannot find them anywhere. The PDF seems to only have letters. I am taking the course on memrise and I couldn't help but notice that "their" was missing. As in "their dragon". How would one translate that if there is a translation? I know these questions have probably been asked before, but I couldn't find a search function for the forum. Thanks in advance! |

There are no canon punctuations in Dovahzul. The only canon number is "Gein", "one" and its adverbial variant "Ont", "once". My best guess for a translation of "their" is "___ do/se niin" for "their ___". |

Liis Thanks for the reply. So what do you do to represent numbers beyond one? Like "I vanquished 3 dragons today." |

If you really need to be specific about the number, there's not much you can do. This is a chart of all the non-canon (fan-made) numbers and suffixes for them. Remember that any non-canon material from this site will not be understood elsewhere without knowledge from this site. |
