You might say drog, "lord/master," to mean "master," or you could say thur, "overlord," which has strong connotations of cruelty and ruling through strength. When saying "master" in Dovahzul, one needs to be cautious. The word in means "to master," as in "to have a mastery of a skill or role." For example, Alduin's name means "destruction devouring master," because that's what he does best, not because he's someone's master. (Though admittedly he is that too.) Apprentice is a bit trickier. You could say aar, "servant/slave," meaning someone who willingly serves as a function of duty or loyalty. (Compare to zaam, "slave," meaning someone who serves permanently and unwillingly.) Aar gets the idea across that the individual is subservient. |
