Probably need to specify that the “bow” as in part of a ship, not a shooting bow.

I edited it. Better?

I'm doing a translation project for NaNoWriMo because I'm a horrible writer and I've needed to make up some words for it. ori'a'oryc - greatness alor'ika - prince/princess kotepyc - bravely, heroic uja'gal - mead (honey + ale) chaab'ad - scourge, terror, boogie man ori'haal'gi - whale (big + breath ...

You already have kih'bas as insect, bas'gam as leather, kebi'ad as merchant, kebi'yaim as shop and kebi'yaime as market. Are you going to update their definitions to something else? Sorry, if I'm being a pain in the shebs, but I literally wrote all of this down in a notebook before my computer died....

From where do you based your word purgaat'ad? I get the 'ad part, but the purgaat? it seems to be a shortened root of fruit - papurgaat, but that is usually papur, or papuur, when talking about wine - papuur'gal. But even if it is supposed to be fruit, how do you get cursed, unfortunate from that? ...

I know I post a lot of musical instruments, but it's kind of hard to play Vode An with just a bes'bev. Anybody else feel free to chime in if you can think of better ones. pirun'meshurok - pearl gi'gaid - shell, shellfish gi'agol - seafood gi'ad - fisher gi'din'waadur - fishseller (I originally had g...

I just had to say it.

Why go for ori'tom'vhetin for empire, instead of something more like alor'tsad?

That's what was in the dictionary.

I suppose based on the latest words offered we can just agree that ‘nak’ means “angle”. In geometrical sense.

You like my words? Cool! I was beginning to feel a bit pushy.

I’ve got some more. I think a few of these have been done before, but they’re not in the dictionary. ad’eta’ehnak - D20 Aloryc Taabi’laar – Imperial March (technically Ori’tom’vhetin’yc Taabi’laar, that’s a bit much. Torture your own tongue.) bas’ad – cowboy, shepherd, herder cui’ehnak - pyramid e’t...

This is translated from the English version and unfortunately it no longer rhymes, I might try the German version later. Feel free to tear it apart. Notes below. Shev’la ca, urman’la ca, An udes’la, an dral Rud bac cin’runi buir bal ad. Cin’gaan ik’aad bid pel’tigala bal pel, Nuhoyi o’r suum’la naak...

I’ve noticed some errors in the “C” section. You left out can’gal – starfighter and have can’gaal- migratory bird, marked as canon instead. Cyare has the wrong definition. It looks as if you went to add a word and messed up the cells.

May I suggest some words? Of the two word list posts, I thought that this one might be the best place to post in. I notice that we’re lacking in musical instruments. Feel free to change or fix anything if you need to. laar’kot’hokaan - stringed instrument, from song + ax (ax as in guitar) gam’ya’gai...

Su’cuy! After some people I know decided to sing Silent Night in Klingon, I thought why not Mando’a, since I already knew a few words. Oh, what a rabbit hole I’ve fallen down! It has quickly turned into a song about the next Mand’alor and I’ve got four different versions so far and the third verse s...
