@Oblivion, found in the Word Wall for nah in Whirlwind Sprint.

@Liis, much agreed. There are also two senses to consider: "however / in whatever way" ("do it however you must"), and "however / nonetheless / notwithstanding," ("however, I must disagree").

Nuz could in all likelihood cover the second sense.

@Vutharaak,

I propose the deletion of the word in favour of Nuz and/or Pahfos.

Pahfos wouldn't quite work for "however" as in "by any means." How about naanvoth "any-with"?

How about changing Griindol to Priindol?

Griindol

How about changing Griindol to Priindol?

Would you prefer it to be priindol rather than the shorter prii? I think prii would flow better with adjectives.

For reference, BanditNation and I have been discussing alternatives for this word so it's easier to use with adjectives (prii dilon "nearly dead," prii vikaan "nearly defeated," etc.). It might also help to distance it from grind "to meet."

@Prii,

I love the idea of Prii. It's short just like its complimentary word Nuth.

Laak

I propose a change for a slightly different spelling. This word is too close to Laag for my comfort.

Prii would work just fine.

I will second that. The concept of However is closer to 'Although', 'Regardless' and 'never the less' rather than being aassociated with Time.

However, I will note that several English inconsistencies have made their way into Dovahzul, so sometimes we end up with words that are identical to English usage (such as 'That' which is both a pronoun and a complex sentence conjunction.)

Dovahzul has two distinct words for "that". Daar is the pronoun, and tol is the conjunction.

Unstiid

Isn't this word redundant anyhow with "Unslaad" and "Mahfaeraak"?

Looking around, alun "ever" would effectively replace it. "I am always busy / I am ever busy."

I've deleted unstiid and changed grinstiid to fahtiid, effectively "for times / for many times".
