Tactical Language

[Drala Kad]

I've been over to the Mandocreator dictionary, and while we do have some war-related words like traat'aliit "squad", taabir "to march," ram'ser "sniper, marksman," a few different words for forts and fortifications, and so on, I think we're missing some crucial words, or at least I can't find them.

To flank: We have a noun, eso, for flank or side, but no verb for flanking the enemy. Since this is a very important maneuver, I'm suggesting esor, to be conjugated eso. The context will make clear if noun or verb is meant.

To advance, move forward: I haven't found one and have no suggestions at this time.

Weakness, vulnerability: An absolutely critical term for assessing one's enemy (and oneself), but we don't have it. At least not that I've found. We have solus, which can mean alone or vulnerable but already means a lot of other things (united, one). We have ramaanla, mortal, as in fallible or vulnerable, but the ramaan stem appears to be related to death rather than weakness. And we have laandur, meaning delicate or fragile, sometimes weak, pathetic. But no "weakness."

Any suggestions?

Also this would make a great thread to compile all the tactical language we can find for a quick reference/study guide type of thing.

After some thought, I figure "to weaken" could be expressed a few different ways. We could say nu'kotir, no strength. We could say hibi'kotir, take strength. Or cha'kotir, steal strength. As for "weakness" itself, we could form a noun out of any of those words, but . . .

Akaanir+olar. Akaan'olar. Weak point. Vulnerability. Or we could do jurk'olar from jurkadir if we're tired of so many akaan words.
