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?

Tursak

could be "getumah"?

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.

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).

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.

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."
