ah Thanks! *NM* Sidious Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 02:12:00 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).

Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 1688 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1298 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1147 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1021 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 973 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1066 Views
or that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:45:49 PM 617 Views

As always, KOuellette - 20/06/2010 02:25:07 PM 971 Views
I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1251 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1036 Views
good point darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM 1033 Views
Re: good point DomA - 17/06/2010 04:05:50 PM 1085 Views
Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1075 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 937 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 541 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 693 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 560 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 536 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 458 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 546 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 583 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1075 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 970 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1078 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 1034 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1165 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1159 Views
How can you say Semirhage didn't achieve anything? Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/06/2010 01:59:44 AM 1097 Views
I'm partial to Sammael myself. Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 02:24:49 AM 906 Views
The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 882 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1094 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 928 Views

Lanfear's motives were never Shadow-driven FanEditor10 - 20/06/2010 06:47:22 PM 1060 Views
not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1073 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 967 Views
I think she's a weak villain darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:01 PM 928 Views

Lan/Lanfear isn't a coincidence... Gher - 18/06/2010 12:19:58 AM 922 Views

Perhaps Lan-fear meaning Night-Daughter would make more sense Lordling - 17/06/2010 06:00:35 PM 1010 Views

And Dragon translations... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:53:02 PM 1148 Views
Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1021 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 945 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 981 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 973 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 847 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1198 Views
Ah yes, that sounds reasonable. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 08:28:54 PM 574 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 1245 Views
"Dragon Wannabe" *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/06/2010 09:23:09 PM 421 Views
Lizard? *NM* Gher - 20/06/2010 10:04:21 PM 580 Views
"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 519 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 775 Views
A nice article about the Old Tongue and my ramblings Lordling - 18/06/2010 11:14:24 AM 7171 Views
