Hey guys, as you can read in the title above, I am translating the Skyrim book; "The Book of The Dragonborn" into Dovahzul. This will be semi-canom, using the dictionary provided, and will be as literally translated as possible. After I have done this, I will attempt to do a fully canon version. I hope you enjoyed reafing this, and I can't wait to show my work!

Good. Some criticism if you won't mind. Fin Kelsedovahkiin This is a proper noun, the name of the book, and thus receives the honorable faal instead of fin. Kel only ever refers to an Elder Scroll in canon. I would substitute tey 'tale' or pel 'writ'. Voth You use voth several times to indicate agents of passive sentences. The correct choice for this role is naal. There is no indication of an incomplete passive ever being used to name an author; to be on the safe side, make it a full zorox naal '(was) create(d) by' Uth do Talos Uth only ever means a command or an instruction. You can refer to the organization with Aar/Ahmik/Mir do Talos 'Servants/Service/Alliance of Talos'. A priory is a religious house similar to a monastery. I would coin zeinhof 'worship-hall'. daar los ruz us un sille, ahrk ko daar kel zu'u fen togaat us pah tinvaak ... Ruz us un sille 'after that time, in front of our souls' is hard to interpret. Presumably it means metaphorical proximity. Same for fen togaat us pah tinvaak 'will attempt in front of all the talk'. tum zeim faal bokke Good use of faal. Zeim is arguably well suited for this temporal context, but the idiom 'down through' is notably English and would likely be unknown in a draconic mindset. |
