Old Tongue


This isn't finished yet. Just thought I'd let you know. I'm gonna put an OT into English section, and a few phrases as well. There are a lot of guesses in this, and it probably doesn't make sense. Also, I may have left out some of the OT words used in everyday Randlandian (eg Aes and Sedai, etc; I know I have those - or at least I think I do - but there are probably common words like that that I've overlooked). If you find anything wrong, or any words I've left out, PLEASE send me an email at [email protected] (couldn't be bothered with a link...) Thanks.
