Hello Miadon!
- Is there any basis for the diacritic sounds? They aren't present in the pronunciation page, nor are they convenient for people who don't use keyboard settings with ó, á, etc ;)  -Unknown (Draklar?)


We do have a slang verb for having sex already, and your new addition does not match with the format of Enkien verbs. Also, it appears to be related to "grrensholo" which seems like a bit of an odd evolutionary association.  
I did not add them and I typically ignore them, as it's not worth the trouble to try and get those into PS while I am chatting. -Irri (edit, I found the explanation: http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Enkidukai_Language/Accentuation_Rules -Irri)


If you are looking for Enkien curses, check out the grammar page for Emphasis http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Enkidukai_Language/Grammar#Emphasis and use constructions like ulber dung and son of an ulber :) Also, we have words for fool and idiot presently as well. I find I get a lot of use out of those :)  
Name for months shouldn't differ too much from the Common names. The months are Yliakum-speciffic, while in Yliakum Enkidukai always lived very close to the Ylians. The names would be much rather (slightly altered?) borrowings, than cases of coinage. Further supported by the months having Common counterparts -- implies they're borrowed from the Ylian culture. -Unknown (Draklar?)


Perhaps some curse phrases could be added to the useful phrases page at some point.
I agree on the months, though the Enkidukai would have brought some words with them for times of the year. Perhaps these are still used by the more rigidly traditional Enkidukai. They would also be remembered by the professional keepers of oral lore and culture. -Irri


-wth? that wasn't me that was some guy I know being a jerk :p You can remove it. I dont even use that word in real life why would I use in in game in a fake language :P
== new words ==


if you two are going to keep adding words in bulk do you think you could email them to me?
Then I can add them to the reverse table with out having to look up each change in diff


thanks

==Removal of the Xacha Race==
As of 2011.11.01, the Xacha Race has been removed entirely from game-lore. Whilst you may think this doesn't effect you guys, I notice that you have words for 'xacha' and 'xacha man'. Rather than delete them, I thought I'd let you guys aware, so you can remove/repurpose them yourselves. - [[User:Ethryn|Ethryn]] 00:52, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

English to Enkien

due to being asked by a few people I am going to try again with a reverse table.

as there were several different ways I have edited this table to follow this format for Verbs: Verb, to (verb) with alternate meanings separated by a / eg.

jede - hold, to /bear, to/ wield, to /carry, to /wear, to (verb)

To make it easier to run it through a converter I would appreciate it if additions are made in the same format.

Is "dsar" general or Ojaveda-specific?

If it is a general term, then it should be added to the vocabulary lists; otherwise, not. Does someone have info on that? Seytra 23:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
