I. OOC NOTES\par\parMany of the Drow words and phrases appearing below are excerpts from \par"The Drow of the Underdark" by TSR, Inc., and other authorized AD&D sources.\parWhere applicable, these excerpts are displayed in capital letters. The \parremaining Drow words and phrases have been developed by the Temple of\parLloth ("TOL"). This dictionary may be distributed through licensed TSR\parsites and used in connection with any AD&D role-playing activity. \parHowever, TOL requests that no alterations or additions be made to this dictionary \parfor use in Neverwinter Nights ("NWN") without the consent of the TOL GM.\parII. USAGE NOTES\par\par

This dictionary has been prepared by the Sorcere for the use of the Drow \parin dealing with other races and as a guide for other races in the proper \pardealings with the Drow. To facilitate such use, the majority of this \par

8/7/2019 Drowdict


Dictionary has been translated into Common.\par\parAny Drow allowed contact with other races should have received training \parin proper conduct elsewhere, thus no effort has been made to supplement \parsuch training here. Non-Drow are advised to pay heed to these Usage Notes. \parMany Drow societies welcome mutually profitable or pleasurable dealings with \pa

rother races or societies. However, the Drow are a justly proud people and are\parquick to take offense -- often fatal offense -- at what they perceive to be\parinsults or breaches of etiquette. \par\parYou have been warned.\par\parIII. GRAMMAR\par\parIIIa. PLURALIZATION\par\par

Withstanding irregular forms, a plural is completed by "en" if it ends in a \parconsonant or "n" if it ends in a vowel. \par\par\tab Singular Plural\par\tab Jabbress Jabbressen\par\tab (Mistress\} (Mistresses\}\par\tab Velve Velven\par\tab\{Blade\} \{Blades\}\par\parIIIb. POSSESSIVE CASE\par\parCoincidentally, the possessive case in the Drow language is very similar \parto the Common Tongue used by most races. The possessive case is completed \par

with "'s" except if the word ends in "s" where upon "'" is added.\par\par\tab Sarn lil velg'larn's inthen\par\tab\{Beware the assassin's schemes\}\par\tab Nindil zhah lil Valsharess' elgluth\par\tab\{That is the Valsharess' whip\}\par\parIIIc.
