Use of Dovahzul in a book

Two friends and I are writing a book to hopefully be published. I would like to use some Dovahzul words in it. Can I do so without obtaining a license from Bethesda, or do I have to have their permission.

You would need Bethesda's permission, as the dragon language is their intellectual property. This is why all of the material on this site is available for free. The closest equivalent with a number of articles you can read would be using song lyrics in a novel. They're not the same things, but would have a similar legal precedent.
