Adunaic Help

Bileworm · 03-23-2008, 12:52 PM

Hey everyone...

Been doing a little digging through sites with the Adunaic language broken down, and I've come to the realization that I'm no linguist! What I'm attempting to do is find a suitable name for a group of Black Numenorean descendents and Haradrim who have begun to hear the call of Sauron and assemble the full strength of the South.

It will be a guild for a tolkien-based world setting for nwn... and of course the coolest names are always in some language found in Middle Earth. Being descendents from the Black Numenoreans (the leader of this group will be descended from the BN's), I felt it fitting to attempt to find a name in Adunaic for the group.

Any help would be most appreciated! Something fitting to a group based out of the Harad, placed in the timeline before the War of the Ring, when Sauron was still in Dol Guldor, but beginning to pull strings from behind the scene to weaken the West before he declared himself openly.

Cheers.

Here is the only Adunaic site I know of:

http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/adunaic.htm

I hope that helps.

thanks mate. that's one of the sites I checked out, which led me to realize I don't have the ability or patience to break down a language and construct words and phrases on my own.

I may ultimately just use common tongue. Thanks for chiming in!
