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 1757 Views
Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 2094 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1650 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1587 Views

Nice ideas! Sidious - 17/06/2010 02:10:43 PM 1563 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 1323 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1389 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 1333 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1404 Views
or that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:45:49 PM 814 Views

As always, KOuellette - 20/06/2010 02:25:07 PM 1325 Views
I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1648 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1392 Views
good point darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM 1374 Views
Re: good point DomA - 17/06/2010 04:05:50 PM 1441 Views
Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1424 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 1309 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 733 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 858 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 752 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 712 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 643 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 723 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 771 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1483 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 1372 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1446 Views
Personally I think that order was off the cuff darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:55:28 PM 1575 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 1430 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1580 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1511 Views
How can you say Semirhage didn't achieve anything? Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/06/2010 01:59:44 AM 1468 Views
I'm partial to Sammael myself. Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 02:24:49 AM 1281 Views
The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 1219 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1426 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 1317 Views
darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:12:58 PM 1453 Views
Lanfear's motives were never Shadow-driven FanEditor10 - 20/06/2010 06:47:22 PM 1452 Views
not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1440 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 1308 Views
I think she's a weak villain darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:01 PM 1266 Views

Regarding "Demandred" ... Shishka - 17/06/2010 04:51:43 PM 1401 Views
I always thought it was a coincidence Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:32:39 PM 1507 Views
Lan/Lanfear isn't a coincidence... Gher - 18/06/2010 12:19:58 AM 1349 Views
Wow. I'm not quite sure where this came from... *NM* Gher - 18/06/2010 05:24:25 PM 705 Views

Perhaps Lan-fear meaning Night-Daughter would make more sense Lordling - 17/06/2010 06:00:35 PM 1421 Views

And Dragon translations... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:53:02 PM 1528 Views
Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1347 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 1309 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 1335 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 1327 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 1184 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1585 Views
Ah yes, that sounds reasonable. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 08:28:54 PM 761 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 1606 Views
"Dragon Wannabe" *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/06/2010 09:23:09 PM 606 Views
Lizard? *NM* Gher - 20/06/2010 10:04:21 PM 768 Views
"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 689 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 1163 Views
A nice article about the Old Tongue and my ramblings Lordling - 18/06/2010 11:14:24 AM 7573 Views
