Anyone who has read the novel "Bladesinger" by Keith Strohm will recall that there are Elvish and Rashemi words scattered through the text. I've taken a stab at translating most of them and was hoping for some feedback/suggestions on my attempt. I have tried to contact Keith Strohm via social media but he either doesn't care for politely phrased unsolicited messages (fair enough I suppose), ignores fan messages (again fair enough I suppose) or couldn't give a stuff about my request (also fair enough I suppose!). So here is what I've come up with (noting that some are translated in the actual text):
dmizny - R - companion/pet (p.4)
laeriaen - E - adult elves (p.11) (see voeraen)
kaer' - E - first (p.12)
vaelen - E - hilt (p.12)
nyvarskiz - R - dangerous/perilous storm (p.20)
ordsk - R - edible pickled root (p.32)
voeraen - E - infant/child elves (p.40)
el'tael - E - bladesingers (p.44)
va - E - father (p.45)
zaen - E - vigilant, all-seeing (p.47)
sheaen - E - gaze, sight (p.47)
vyvadnya - R - mysteries (p.63)
ildva - R - bond, agreement, concord (p.71)
arael'lia - E - central meeting place ? [literally "heart place"] (p.80)
tael - E - novice/trainee bladesinger (p.83)
arael - E - heart (p.115)
sha - E - friend (p.115)
haera - E - centre (p.150)
alu - E - water (p.203)
dala - E - battle (p.203)
Would appreciate any feedback.
