I'm doing this project in the hopes that by the time I'm done, I will have a complete understanding of all of the ins and outs of Dovahzul grammar.

I'm hoping that others (or at least ONE person) will look at this to give me advice on how to improve my translations. NOTE: if you aren't intimately familiar with all of the prefixes/suffixes, you may have a hard time with this.

Also, I'm using the 3rd Edition Printed Dictionary for the translations. I know its out-of-date, but words change too much. When/if the 4th Edition comes out, I'll switch to that, and maybe go back and re-do old things, but until then, 3rd Edition it is.

This is going to be a list of words I use that AREN'T in the Printed Dictionary, which will be added to as the story progresses.

The first section is going to be regular words, and the second section is going to be words that are relatively specific to the series (all of the characters are cats, so there's a lot of words, some of which aren't real, that we don't really use)

Also, most names (characters/places/Clans) are directly translated (most characters have names that combine two words, e.g. Ruvaarjusk is the name for Tigerclaw). A few character names, however, will be translated the way they sound, but it should be fairly obvious which ones they are.

Regular Words:

braaken - bracken (a type of plant)

busbo - twitch/flick

drenk - drench

faazbo - wince/flinch

hudros - otter

kahtu - corner

kolostum - pin (the verb)

murzah - screech

toont - drip/drop

usrup - prologue

utfahl - lunge

vaandah - squirm/wriggle

zinken - sink (the verb)

Series specific words:

graagduhil - greenleaf (their name for Summer)

jama - meow

kaar - kit/kitten

kaazek - she-cat

kaazeyk - queen (a she-cat w/ kits)

kaazok - tom

skoldqarah - tortoiseshell

spraak - tabby

suft - muzzle/snout

tas - paw

tasmah - pawstep

tjut - yowl

yorduhil - newleaf (their name for Spring)

ziistkinbok - deputy (2nd-in-command of a Clan)
