Should there be a distinction between a person who is immortal and something, anything, that exists perptually? Should we have two words, one for a being and then another for something inanimate? 

Yes. Something that has always existed and always will is diffrent than someone immortal, I think.

Aren't the dragons technically 'birthless' as in created but not born? Could the separation of being and inanimate object refer to them as being birthless? That was my line of thinking as in, they were made not born.

If I got that bit of lore wrong, sorry.

I think it could be one word, for either a being or an event. It's an attempt to explain something non-linear in a world where time (Akatosh) has become linear.

You're correct.

Here's an example of what this word would describe. Let's say that Durnehviir "curse never dying" had a dragon name before he fell into the hands of the Ideal Masters. After this point, his name becomes Durnehviir, and it's as though his name always was Durnehviir. Whatever his old name was is wiped out, and his name becomes Durnehviir since the "beginning" of time.

Think I understand now. Uniformitarianism, in a way? That because the way it is now, it always has been that way.

For to keep from flying it should be related to "to hold down" because they are practically the same thing, just one for ALL winged creatures and the other for everyone

"'I think I understand.' 'Really?' 'No.'" Jokes aside, I get it, thanks to reading a simmilar think in one book 15 times untill I got it. Just a question, who are the Ideal Masters?

To struggle against adversity: mulkrif. 'Strength-fight', strength meaning enemy, opposition etc.

For this word, the primary definition is "to fly against the wind." It's used metaphorically to refer to struggle against adversity or fate. Perhaps something from riik "gale."

Vildthu'um. Vild comes from teach and transfer, because (for example) when the Greybeards TEACH ro, they TRANSFER their KNOWLEDGE. If it was an English word, I would have added a line in-beetween, even dough there is no other example of vild(ing) other than with a thu'um.

Nivosriik: disallow gale or nivosven: disallow wind.

Or, if it is too hard to pronounce, vilthu'um. But I would stick with vild.

Vildthu'um is good. I think it works well. 

Vung

For the verb to flap the wings strongly as a show of force or intimidation.  It's similar to viing, but it also has the possibility of referencing vungol, 'mine,' in the sense of a territorial display.
