Drow translation wanted

Attalus · 08-30-2002, 06:54 PM

When Viconia approaches those three duegar in the Underdark, she says, "Lil waela lueth waela ragan brorna lueth wund nind, kyorlin elghinn! Sarn I usstan uil Viconia." Does anyone know what that means?

The foolish and foolish ragan suprises and among they watching elghinn beware I myself am Vicona. [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, so, loosely, it would be, "The foolish are surprised by fools, stupid bastards, I am Viconia!" That sounds like her lovable talk,

Correct translation (one with some sense) is "The foolish and unwary find surprises and among them, waiting death! Beware, I am Viconia"
Check this, this, and this out.

Usstan uil lil alurl!

Sorry about URL thing.

Thanks, Verdran, that makes more sense. How about Usstan vadost and kah nah?

Perhaps you mean "Usstan zah dost" which I'm unsure... "Usstan" means "This one" or "Me". Kah Nah? Khaless Nau means, roughly, "No trust"

Khaless is trust, wael is fool but waela is foolish, jivvin is play....I know some drow 'cause I'm sad [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, Kaltia, what does a 15y/o girl have to be sad about? Wait, stop, I can't believe that I said that, don't tell me!!!! Khaless nah? Well, I guess she could be saying that, since "No trust" is kind of Viconia's watchwords. But she says Usstan zha dost, or something similar to it, and she says it in the tone of voice which would be in "Yes, sir," or "I will do it."

Kaltia · 08-31-2002, 01:30 PM

She says "Jal Khaless zha waela" which translates as "all trust is foolish" As well.

Easy. "Ustan zhah dost" means "I am yours"

All those ust- words seems to refer to one self. Except "ust" alone which means "one" or "first".
