Inevitable

Well, again some questions about translations, in Canon Dovahzul, now I look for "Inevitable", for some weird project I'm working on. If you can't find out, then, I would need "Disastreous", yunna, it's something about Fate, "Dez". Good luck guys.

Do it and I'll leave some space in my suitcase for you ^^

I'm just a beginner, but I think the closest you can get to "inevitable" using only canon is "Vofilok":
 - vo: affix for not, opposite of
 - filok: escape, to escape

For 'disastrous', I suggest alus 'like destruction, having destruction' from al with the suffix of odus and motmahus.

Also, alus may have worked too, but not in the case I need it ^^ Thanks anyway

Vofilok does work as an adjective if the next word is unambiguously a noun: aan vofilok dez can only sensibly be 'an inescapable fate'. If 'inescapable' is not the denotation you need, what is?
