i thought about kofus as to man or fortify. i used kod-wield taking out the d and used fus-force. to create wield force. not sure if that is appropriate still but i didnt chop it up too much...nothing else seem to work with wield that made sense imo.

@Mirkrilaar Personally I like the sound of "Grahdrein". It even makes sense for "Battle-cry" to have multiple translations; After all, we use multiple similar compound words in English, so honestly I could see "Grahdrein" used alongside "Nahzaan", "Zindrein" & "Grahzaan". On the other other hand, Dovah supposedly speak only for true needs, so having several synonyms for a single concept may simply be impractical.

@paarthurnax "Bonol" seems like it would better fit "depart" than "embark". The conceptual difference being that one departs by leaving and embarks by going.

Kogaan! I didn't like "Grahdrein" as much. I liked "Grahrein" mostly because it flowed better and it made more sense to a dovah. "Battle-roar" sounds very dragonic in origin and in nature.

@KrilSuleykKoriim I really like "Bodon". Aesthetics are subjective, but that's my favorite one for "embark". Makes sense and sounds great.

@Mirkrilaar I always thought the Latin for "emerge" came from "to un-join" or "re-separate", the way a fish emerges (or separates) from the water when jumping out of it. Either concept ("brought into the light", or "un-joined") could be a good direction.

@Toorlokviing I really like the sound of Aloktir. Although I'm a bit concerned that removing the initial 'a' would be too ambiguous since 'Alok' means 'arise' and 'Lok' means 'sky'. To me, "Sky out" makes less sense than "Rise out". If I had a vote, it would be 'aloktir'.

just thought of another one that could go well with rise.

Alokvul as it may make more sense in a draconic sense as one could emerge from a darkened corner or shadows.

I have added the following worthy words to my list:

• Kosaal "to pose"
• Druth "to execute/carry out"
• Deyn "to man/occupy"

Two words now remain: "to emerge" and "to embark."

@Toorlokviing. I like the way "Alokvul" sounds. Is the "out from" implied? I'm not sure how all that works yet. A thought on the dragon concept of emergence - what about emerging from coulds during flight. From what I understand, the Dovah prefer mountaintops over caves and dark places. What if "Alokvul" had a separate meaning, such as the induction of a new Sonaan, or the beginning of an eclipse? Just a few thoughts. I like "Alokvul", but "Aloktir" just seems more suited for "emerge" to me.

I would strongly suggest that the remaining words not be compound words. They are basic enough in meaning to warrant their own words, and most of the possible compound words seem clunky or unnatural. The three recently added words are great because they stand on their own, and are short and effective. I'd like to see something similar for the remaining two.

I was thinking perhaps "Brokur" for emerge. I think it has a nice ring to it, and there's not really any other words surrounding it in the dictionary that could really imply a known root that shouldn't be there; I came up with it on the spot just a few minutes ago, so there shouldn't be a root. Vriilomdren brokur nol vokunne wah ofan ok lorre.

I came up with enmahkem for embark

I put kem for the word bark. En and mah came from the alpabet to bring the em part.

Vriilomdren

Might I suggest I slight change to bokur? Then it relates to bo "to move/fly," but isn't a compound. Alternative possibilities, bokuv, bokir, bokaad, bokaav.

I really like Bokur.
