I wanted to translate "Head above water" the only word I was able to find was Head (Klov) closest I was able to find for Above was Fly (Bo) and Water, Ice (Iiz) So "Head Above Water" would become "Head Fly Ice" or "Klov Bo Iiz" My questions are, 1) does anyone have a better word for any of these and 2) is the structure correct or would it be better written as "Fly Head Ice"? Any help would be greatly appretiated

In ESO, Nahfaalaar says an interesting line : "Dragon King above. Bormahu han zu'u". The word "han" could possibly mean "above" unless it's a typo of "hon"(hear). For "Water" you could describe the place or using words like "Okaaz"(sea) or "Ron"(rain). I hope it will help :) |

Kahvozein Thank you! I definitly think Okaaz is more in line of the saying I was going for, keeping ones Head above water in the context of stuggling not to drown. Han is interesting too, I havn't played much of ESO, but I will look into it too! |

Why does the word spirit hav so many translations in dragon language? Also, what does each of them mean (Spirit (noun) Zii, Rii, Gaaf, Su'um, Goraan)? If i wanted to name my daughter spiritfire then what would be the correct translation? Thanks. |
