Some Old Tongue translations sylph Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 01:34:18 PM
I found this the other day and thought it was really interesting. It doesn't list the meanings of the Forsaken names, but some can be pieced together (like isha means betrayer).

Yeah... Etzel - 17/06/2010 09:31:15 AM 1641 Views
Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 1985 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1547 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1424 Views

Nice ideas! Sidious - 17/06/2010 02:10:43 PM 1451 Views
The beauty of a re-read is that there are so many little gems I'd forgotten darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:48:19 PM 1222 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1280 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 1218 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1292 Views
or that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:45:49 PM 739 Views

As always, KOuellette - 20/06/2010 02:25:07 PM 1210 Views
I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1509 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1271 Views
good point darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM 1273 Views
Re: good point DomA - 17/06/2010 04:05:50 PM 1326 Views
Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1307 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 1201 Views
It must be her favorite one, since it's the only one she actually earned *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:43:41 PM 663 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 813 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 690 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 651 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 583 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 666 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 712 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1344 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 1231 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1330 Views
Personally I think that order was off the cuff darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:55:28 PM 1456 Views

The point isn't if Lanfear has the skill, it's that it was poorly shown. darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:31:11 PM 1307 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1436 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1412 Views
How can you say Semirhage didn't achieve anything? Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/06/2010 01:59:44 AM 1357 Views
I'm partial to Sammael myself. Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 02:24:49 AM 1160 Views
The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 1124 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1320 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 1185 Views
darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:12:58 PM 1311 Views
Lanfear's motives were never Shadow-driven FanEditor10 - 20/06/2010 06:47:22 PM 1333 Views
not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1321 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 1183 Views
I think she's a weak villain darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:01 PM 1158 Views

Regarding "Demandred" ... Shishka - 17/06/2010 04:51:43 PM 1276 Views
I always thought it was a coincidence Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:32:39 PM 1395 Views
Lan/Lanfear isn't a coincidence... Gher - 18/06/2010 12:19:58 AM 1224 Views
Wow. I'm not quite sure where this came from... *NM* Gher - 18/06/2010 05:24:25 PM 649 Views

Perhaps Lan-fear meaning Night-Daughter would make more sense Lordling - 17/06/2010 06:00:35 PM 1280 Views

And Dragon translations... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:53:02 PM 1388 Views
Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1255 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 1180 Views
It was meant as a joke, but really it could be some generic term rather than meaning darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:00:36 AM 1234 Views
Except that they don't know what a 'Dragon' is, except as it relates to Lews Therin/Rand Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 05:11:30 PM 1224 Views
like I said, I was just making a joke of it ... you are quite right with "Rand's Spears" darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:32:42 PM 1082 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1464 Views
Ah yes, that sounds reasonable. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 08:28:54 PM 699 Views
If "aman" is the Old Tongue name for Dragon, maybe "DEMANdred" contains a reference to Dragon too... Shannow - 20/06/2010 08:13:35 PM 1491 Views
"Dragon Wannabe" *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/06/2010 09:23:09 PM 536 Views
Lizard? *NM* Gher - 20/06/2010 10:04:21 PM 713 Views
"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 631 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 1036 Views
A nice article about the Old Tongue and my ramblings Lordling - 18/06/2010 11:14:24 AM 7468 Views
