For all who are interested in elven language:
There is a merchant in LeOr, in the marketplace, who sells really useful books:
- Common Elvish Phrases
- Elvish Vocabulary
- Elvish Grammar
(these two latter titles in three volumes each, I believe)
I had fun for several evenings, trying to learn elvish. Unfortunately, almost nobody speaks elvish, except dot'ooli, pelail and oo'good'toova. Even such "easy" expressions like, let's say, leiulia toova are mostly not understood... Pitty...

The difference between western and eastern intellectuals is that the former have not been kicked in the ass enough.

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?

If it isn't in the list, there currently isn't a word for them yet. Eventually, Aloro will submit a bunch of words for translation/verification to Orleron. so your best bet would be to send a PM and get the words added to the list.
