Agnaar

Could be Yolqoth, or "fire-tomb."

@Bolaav, there is a canon word for "give," ofan

@Agnaar, yolqoth would be a possibility, possibly also qothseyol. Pyres aren't necessarily funeral pyres, so I think agnaar works as a more general word.

As mentioned earlier, not all words that use "uu" are transliterated with an apostrophe.

This is classified as a verb, yet the description says, "noun only"

Wooq

perhaps this could be better as "wook". Or something. I don't know.

It would be much better as wook, yes. I think there could probably be a semi-canon alternative to it too. Any ideas?

I honestly don't see it being semi-canon. And I feel like it could do well being its own non-canon thing. I don't have a problem with non-canon, and to try to make it more canon could make it confusing or technical. I say we keep it as "wook", and I feel that it is simpler. Whatever you want, though.

That's fine, wook will work.

Jun

"Jun" also means light. Paarthurnax says "Pogaan nahlaas, vokrii wah jun". In the dialogue file, this translates to "many alive, restored to (the) light". I always thought of this as the primary meaning for the dov, and that they thought of their kings as the "guiding light".

This is an interesting one, I actually believe this to be a typo of kun. Note that "J" and "K" are adjacent on the keyboard, and  the word vokun "shadow" most likely means "un-light." Typos aren't unheard of in the dialogue. In any case I'll add it for completeness's sake, but kun should probably be used over jun to mean "light."

Interesting! Good to know. Thank you.

Wouldn't that make kun canon, then? I just looked it up and saw that it was listed as semi-canon.

No, actually. There's no account of "kun" being used in-game, nor is it refferenced in Prima Games Guide, but it is heavily implied. It's pretty much the closest to canon it can be, while not being canon.
