Drukh-Eltharin/Druhir words in official sources
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2016 2:37 pm
I will soon be revising my Druchii Language Guide and posting an updated version in the forums here, so people no longer have to trawl through back issues of Druchii.net Monthly (or go to other less reputable sites which have republished my work without permission... )
Unfortunately, as I've been away from the hobby for the past decade, I don't have the DE army books (or any other GW publications) from 7th or 8th edition.
Obviously, I want the revised DLG to be compatible with the official fluff wherever possible. So, for example, if there's an official Drukh-Eltharin/Druhir* word for 'darkshards' I will use that in the DLG rather than inventing something new (which would probably be 'arhatharnai' if we go for a very literal translation, or perhaps 'kyntharnai' if we allow 'dark' to equate to 'black' rather than 'shadowy' - I have to admit to finding 'darkshards' a bit of a naff name actually).
So, what I'm asking for in this thread is for people to post any Drukh-Eltharin/Druhir word or phrase that has appeared in official GW publications over the 7th/8th edition era, with its English translation and the source (publication and page number).
Thanks to everyone in advance!
* - These are just two names for the same language, BTW. 'Drukh-Eltharin' is used by those who wish to emphasise its relationship to Eltharin as it was spoken before the Sundering (some Druchii refer to it as 'True Eltharin', and 'Drukh' has connotations of 'perfectly precise'). 'Druhir' is used by those who prefer to see it as an entirely distinct language (mostly Asur, it must be said).
