Sporadic 2801 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey, this topic is very helpful! I am also using your "Recovering The Ancient Tongue Of The Elves." topic to help find a suitable name. But I can't find what the word "Merchant" means in the Elf language. If you could help me, that would be awesome! Thanks, Kyle. 'akalir' would mean merchant.

PH4NT0M 3 Share Posted February 26, 2012 'akalir' would mean merchant. Thank you so much! :) EDIT: Hey again, I have found all of the names I am going to use, but now I just need to know how to display them correctly. What I mean is how to use the apostrophes correctly in between the words. These are the words that I am using. My first name would be Averir, which means adventurer, and my last name would be Akalir, which means merchant. So would it be written like "Averir Akalir" or "Averir'Akalir"? My father's first name is going to be Lirrame, which means friend of the forest, and his last name would be Akalir as well. So would that be written like Lirrame'Akalir? My mother's name is Mayilu Yuln, which means loved gem, and her last name would also be Akalir, so would it be written like Mayilu'Yuln'Akalir? If you can help me, that would be great, thanks!

Sporadic 2801 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 First name and last name should be seperate. So: 'Averir Akalir' and 'Lirrame Akalir' Secondly, modifier comes after noun, so the mother's name will be: 'Yuln'mayilu Akalir' I hope this helps :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I figured the first and last names were separate, but I just wanted to confirm it. I also remembered that nouns were second, but again, just wanted to confirm.

siwasb 3 Share Posted March 2, 2012 So "Turrii Vallei'elacal" means "Lamb Cursed-Water"? ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporadic 2801 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 So "Turrii Vallei'elacal" means "Lamb Cursed-Water"? ;) Vallei'acal would be correct, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdwhisperer 1173 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I was wondering, what would 'wanderer of darkness' be? Or possibly (someone who)'wanders in darkness'? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~TheDerpyBeagle~ 63 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So, the descriptive word comes after, even if it's first in English? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporadic 2801 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Old post, but averir'ker would be wanderer in darkness. So, the descriptive word comes after, even if it's first in English? Exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMGavLan 92 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I used this resource. You asked for us to tell you. I tried to get "Lonely Forest" or something along those lines. I ended up with Ame'sioln. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporadic 2801 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I used this resource. You asked for us to tell you. I tried to get "Lonely Forest" or something along those lines. I ended up with Ame'sioln. Very glad you used it and I hope you found it useful! Lonely Forest would be ame'siol, by the way. The extra n after the word would make it 'loneliness' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amorphbutt 196 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Would Acaln'iyat or Ellir'acaln work as a name? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supremacy 3357 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Cursed of thought Lonely of cursed... No, as far as I am aware that is grammatically incorrect. The first one Acaln'iyat is correct however the second... Would need modification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
