Perhaps we should just leave "wo" to be the objective form of "Who", leaving it more canonical and simpler.

"More simpler"

EDIT: Krosis, my inner Grammar Nazi escaped...

While that is a better way to phrase it, "more canonical and simpler" is actually still correct. It depends on how you interpret "and." "More canonical" is one part, and "simpler" is another. More clearly:

  • ... leaving it more canonical, and simpler.
  • ... leaving it simpler and more canonical.

That's how I'd have phrased it, but let's not derail this thread further.

might be better as "vosotiiv" from "sotiiv", "to excite"

Avond

Non Canon? Did they not have evenings in Skyrim

Non-canon words are words invented by the community that aren't directly based on canon or semi-canon words. In this case, a word for "evening" wasn't provided in the game, so we invented the word "Avond," so it is non-canon.

perhaps "let" and "allow" could be merged to one word

Nauaas

I'm gonna get on Skyrim and see if I can find the Dovahzul word for this because this HAS to be a word I just have a weird feeling about it. Just a reminder not a revision. Just a suggestion

Sounds good. So previously we had the following words: il "to let," vos "able," and gevos "to enable/allow." What I did was merge everything into vos, so it is now the verb "to enable / allow / let," and as an adjective, "able."

Vos mu bo, "let us fly/go."

Zu'u vos kendov, "I am an able warrior."

Makes something that's rather unique from English.

Krosus

"krosis" seems to be used as an apology by the dov in the game, so I believe that "krosis" should be left to mean "sorry" in an apologetic way, and "zokrosis" should be left to mean "sorry" in its adjective form, with notes on both to specify.

Vos

could have a note saying that it is (now) also a verb. Another thing, perhaps this could also mean "let us", or "let's", as in "let's go". I know that I've said this before, but that phrase isn't technically a correct term, so I don't think that it should mean the same thing in the Dragon Tongue. Maybe we could have a separate word to mean "let's". What're your thoughts?

Gein

Perhaps you could have the number runes by the definitions of numbers? I know that it's in a different font, so it might not be all that possible, but it was just a thought.

Krosus - removed and added "sorry" to both krosis and zokrosis.

Vos - added to notes. As for "let's go," possibly. What if fent was used? "Fent bo," "shall we go / we shall go."

Gein - maybe, it'd be tricky. I'll have to think on it.
