Space is often referenced in skyrim. I'm sure that the dragons could say something along the lines of... "I wonder what mysteries the emptiness of space hold."

Outer space doesn't exist in the Elder Scrolls cosmology. Aetherius is what lies between Mundus and the realms of Oblivion.

Shonus

I don't think it works like that. Nice is already an adjective, you can't put '-us' on it. Since nicely is an adverb, a Dovah might express this as voth shon, 'with nice(ness)'.

This word is in need of deletion.

You are correct, the adverb "nicely" would be expressed as voth shon or even just shon.

The description still references "Shanor" which is a deleted word.

Honvaas refers to a musical note, which is why I had orginally used deykraan. Perhaps pushaal for "little card"

Add sadism to this

Also Schadenfreude is mispelled in the definition.

Does it intentionally end in the -iik suffix?

@Mindaziir, removed from notes.

@Pushonvaas, I edited this to Maldeykraan, or "little-paper." Pushaal is really creative, but while we're at it, I feel like a short word and powerful word such as shaal should be something more related to dragons than "card." Any ideas? Maldeykraan could potentially translate to "card" as well as "ticket."

@Aus-Jiik, corrected spelling and added "sadism" as a translation. Jiik is the word for "joy" and isn't related to the suffix -iik, kind of like how voth "with" isn't related to the prefix vo-.

Qeln

This word feels odd to me. I think a new word could be made that combines this word and "Wult," "crime," into a single word that means "an act of wrongdoing."

This looks like a good word for the above. Maybe it could be shorter.

There's a problem with this word. It means "ungood/evil", not really "vice". Vokul already means "evil" and it's Canon. 

(what does the suffix 'iig' mean? I can't find it). 

I don't think "Qeln" is bad. The "eln" sound already exists with some words. 

"Sin" and "Vice" should probably be the same word in this lexicon though, even if they are technically different things, a "vice" is something that you do that isn't kosher that gives you pleasure, and, well, a "sin" could be that, if the vice was "sinful". 

If "Qeln" is used, "Zoqeln" could be "sinful, full of vice(s)". "Zoqelnaar" sinfulness. "Qelniik" sinner. Doesn't seem too bad. 

If we go with the Canon word "Vokul", evil, "Zovokul" would mean "sinful, full of evil", "Vervokul" would be "to sin/commit evil", but to be/make evil and to sin are NOT the same thing, not REALLY....... Unless we wanted to make the word "sin" equatable to "evil" in this lexicon. Not impossible.

Qeln

This word feels odd to me. I think a new word could be made that combines this word and "Wult," "crime," into a single word that means "an act of wrongdoing."

As in, "Verwult" "to commit crime/to sin", to also be used as the noun "sin"?

That only works if "illegal" and "sinful" are synonymous. 

In that train it would be the following:

"Zoverwult" sinful, "Verwultiik" sinner.

Meh.

Unless you mean, just word-meld the two? Change Qeln and Wult to... Qelt? I don't know.
