Dwed

Dwed, also known as Dwarvish, is a proto-language. It is the language of the Dwarves. In the olden days it was often used among members of the upper Dwarven caste to speak among one another until Dormin Doomforged transcribed it for the general populace to learn. It never became the primary method of communication among the common Dwarf, but it is still often used today in official documents.

Overview

In the ancient times before Aegis, there were multiple languages spoken by dwarves, but over time these languages began to merge. The final result was a mix known as Dwarvish. Dwarvish quickly gave out to Common however because it was the most universal language, and due to Dwarves at the time mainly being traders they found it more convenient than Dwarvish. After many years, the Dwarves began to flourish again and a new variant of Dwarvish known as Dwed was created, and then later on written down by Dormin Doomforged for all dwarves to learn. This language was only used in rare occasions however, and never became the normal form of communication among the dwarves. It is most frequently used during clergy events and on official documents.

Special Terms

Drell - Drell means to form a wide line, spread across the halls to the right and left.

Drinni - Drinni means to form a cue-type line.

Khrum - Khrum usually means “All” in the abstract terms of all the creations of Yemekar (Grobi, Umgi, Ork, Elger, and Kharajyr [in a way] ) Usually a Dwarf would use this word to refer to the planet, by adding the city prefix (Kal’Khrum), which would also stand for the continent in which the Dwarves stood for that moment. However, there is also a continent, or world prefix (Khor’), but this term emerged after a need to name the several continents discovered, and should be thought of as a contemporaneous term.

Tagum - This term means "Stark Raving Mad", used for Dwarves who behave oddly all of a sudden, these dwarves should be terminated swiftly as their disease and behaviour proves pandemic.

Vel can also be used to denote “March”, by adding the verb to it.

Vel - Vel is used as a command in military aspects, it is the word to commanding Dwarves to form a line or formation, and depending on the word used before it, defines which line is to be formed:

-’th - This term, in english, is -’s.

Time - To use the Time Tense, you must denote the verb, or word you are conjugating after denoting the time tense begins, Like;

“Suffix Past + Word ->” Will denote that all things following the word, unless used another time suffix, will be in that time tense.

Tenses

Past = Yno- / Yllor-
Present = Aina- / Khirn
Future = Enn / Ea-
Perfect (Added after the time suffix and before the word.) = -Nairon- / -Naerk-

Examples

Dwed: “Yno’K'az tira khrum lakh.”
Common: “I worked all day.”

Dwed: “Yno’nairon’Thaaz merumm tira’geron khrum lakh.”
