Removed.

Uh, it's still there

EDIT: 20 pages!

Hmm, that seems to happen every now and then, not sure why.

We may have to start a new thread soon!

Reyth

Perhaps we can capitalize the first letter in árbol to be consistent with the other dictionary entries?

I'll do that right now.

Bu'ul

Just thought: could explain in notes that this could be any pyramid shape, be it square, triangular, star, heptagonal, etc. Perhaps even cones? Maybe?

Rezus

Pet can be used as a noun, 'my pet, do you have a pet, etc.'

Rezus

The word rez is the noun. Rezus would be used as an adjective, for example "my pet dog."

Re: pyramid, I'd say the translation of bu'ul being "pyramid" implies all of those different shapes. If it were more specific, then the translation would likewise be more specific. As it is, it's simply "pyramid" and could be used in any sense that "pyramid" is used.

Lohom

"Lom" is non-canon, so having a semi-canon word derived from it is a bit strange.

"Lom" is non-canon, so having a semi-canon word derived from it is a bit strange.

Looks like it was meant to be from lot "great" (canon) and lom "water" (non-canon), which isn't very clear in "Lohom." I edited it to a straight compound, lotlom, "greatwater." This is semi-canon since it uses the canon word lot.

Marked as non-canon now, though it's likely related to rot "word" I can't say for sure.

Mindrus

I believe that there may be two versions of the same word (words #4604 and #5657). One is translated as "Recognise" and the other as "Recognize," but I believe that these are merely spelling differences.

Thanks, I removed the extra word "Minsuk" and kept it to "Mindrus."

Lok

"lok" is canon for "sky", so why this^?

Thought you might ask about this! It has a rather storied origin. Basically it is a different word from the noun lok with an entirely different origin, but just happens to be spelled the same:

  • Tum is the canon word for "down."
  • Naar is the canon word for "peak."
  • Lumnaar is the canon word for "valley." Picking it apart, it is hypothetically lum naar, where a hypothetical word lum means "low." So lumnaar is "low peak."
  • The antonym of "down" is "up." Our invented word for "up" is vok.
  • If "down" is to "low" as tum is to lum, then "up" is to "high" as vok is to lok.

It just so happens that the different word lok means "sky," which I believe fits quite perfectly. As a noun lok means "sky." As an adjective or preposition, it means "high / aloft / skyward."
