I like lingrahso. Drok is fine too, though I think it's possibly too close to the canon drog "lord."

On the second point, I'm just suggesting that the word enriik be altered to something else, not combined with any other word.

Is there a problem with enriik becoming both "to indent" and "to press"? Other than that, I agree with all the above.

I think "indent" and "press" are too separate. I'd prefer to move "press" to dah.

Hm, I see what you're saying. mindin lor, that's fine by me.

All right, to double-check, here's the plan:

1. Delete drok and add "press" to dah.
2. Edit gedrok to lingrahso.
3. Edit enriik to something else.

Does that sound right?

Couldn't help but notice "Nuz" in Canon means "But" but non-Cannon means "Visible" I've just started learning the language, but to me this seems confusing if anything. I recommend changing the non-cannon version"Visible" to another word, or expanding on the existing word. You could surely change "But" but I think it should remain untouched seeing as it is the Cannon definition.

Hey ShadowHound, here's a previous answer I had for the same question:

This is a tricky situation where two canon words conflict with each other.

Consider the canon prefix vo- "un- / opposite of," used in words like vonun "unseen," vomindok "unknown,"  and vomindoraan "incomprehensible." Vonuz "invisible" would then appear to be vo- + nuz, where nuz must be a word that means "visible" or something close to it.

It is confusing, but it's in the dictionary more as an analysis of canon rather than our own invention. "But" and "unseen" are also pretty different parts of speech, kind of like "but" and "butt," so I think that alleviates any potential confusion.

Nuz as meaning "visible" also comes from a canon word.

Yep.

Added "harlot" and "strumpet." The term isn't gender-specific.

The term isn't gender-specific.

But "male escort" would be translated to this word.

The term isn't gender-specific.

But "male escort" would be translated to this word.

I think it'd make more sense to add "escort," then.

Vobahlaan

Is this canon?

Ahmuldein

Vobahlaan

Is this canon?

I looked into it and I can't find a canon source. Vobalaan is canon though, appearing in dialogue, and possibly a typo of what should be vobahlaan. In any case I've made vobahlaan semi-canon.

Dalk

Shouldn't this be canon, he calls it 'an old Nordic word'.

Ancient Nordic is a different language from Dovahzul. This would only be canon if it was explicitly stated to be a word in the dragon language.
