There's a canon word for "diminish," liivrah. Added "ditch" to nebeniit. |

@Gloraak, you're right. no, given that dragons don't give birth. @Koraaknu, that's actually what the submission was before I edited to koraaknu. I feel "beliefless" is truer to the meaning of "atheist" since the word "godless" implies being sinful or evil. What are your thoughts? |

hiith I ended up consolidating everything into tumah, so it's the verb "to collapse or crumble (dramatically)", and the noun "collapse / downfall." With this I removed "cataclysm" from its possible translations since that felt like the odd one out. |

paarthurnax I think that "rahnu" should mean both. It could state that a person is without a god, or that one is evil & has left (a) god(s). To say that someone is beliefless is like saying that they are easily swayed or never swayed at all (not thinking for theirself). |

Sure. Related question, do you suppose dragons would have a word for "atheist?" They don't seem to have anything that resembles religious beliefs (other than the Dragon Cult's relationship with them). |

paarthurnax I believe so. They have stated a belief in Akatosh, and that they are the children of Akatosh. Any dragon or even humans that turns away from Akatosh would be considered godless. |

hiithpaarthurnax Though, Akatosh factually exists. They don't just believe in him, he is their factual father. I think any such word would be closer related to disobedience (to dragonkind) than "lack of belief" or "godlessness." |
