==High Elven== ''High elven is the oldest tongue in Eredane, and most races of elves speak it, though with a variety of accents and regional variations. The tongue is purest at the Court and in the remaining scholar’s halls. It reaches its most exotic form in the far north when spoken by the people of the Veradeen. High Elven is a fluid, sibilant tongue that is difficult for other races to learn. Pronunciation is challenging, and the meanings of the words vary by the addition or subtraction of countless suffixes that allow for great specificity in names and descriptions. As a result, High Elven is seldom spoken by non-elves. Because of its complexity, High Elven can only be used at basic competence or fluent level.'' The following is a list of words that Eranon has taught to the dragon in High Elven and their translations in english. [http://rayvenwing.netfirms.com/eng2elf.htm English to Elven translator!] * '''Alu''': (Water) * '''analai''': (danger) * '''anar''': (sun) * '''Ango''': (snake) * '''atara''': (Mother) * '''atar''': or Dakka (Father) * '''aut''': (go) * '''cu''': (bow) * '''draug''': (wolf) * '''dulin''': (bird) * '''elen''': (star) * '''esgal''': (hide) * '''helma''': (sky) * '''ithil''': (moon) * '''kaima''': (sleep) * '''Kemen''': (earth, as in soil or dirt) * '''lindale''': (music) * '''mellon''': (friend) * '''Messīās''': (messiah, the name given the dragon) * '''naur''': (fire) * '''numa''': (no) * '''ordo''': (stone) * '''Orn''': (tree) * '''Orqu''': (orc) * '''pilin''': (arrow) * '''pusta''': (stop) * '''rip''': (fly) * '''sgiathatch''' OR '''loke''': (dragon) * '''uma''': (yes) * '''Vasa''': (food) Total of 28 words, Dakka, which he had already picked up, and 27 more words taught by Eranon.
