After speaking with Nkehu and Jade on the matter, we've decided to further extend the Darjuan vocabulary as we know it. We like using what few words we do know, and feel it would enhance our enjoyment of the Daju culture to have more words to use.

Now being Nkehu and Vkan, we of course felt we needed more profanity. We do recognize the usefulness of more everyday words. Well, everyday to non-cursing folk. Anyway, we'll be compling a list of words and their meanings. Any input is welcome.

This is an unofficial venture, but for our own enjoyment, we decided to give it a whirl. With that said, here are few words we have come up with so far.


Gugmar - as Nkehu requested, Boobies.
Kmotug - Bastard
Muhfek - Butt, Rear end
Mlidar - Mate, Mli meaning "my" and dar meaning "mate"
Tkol - The "S" word. I don't recall if profanity is moderated here, so yeah..
Ztok - Right or Correct

Short, I know. I thought these up spur of the moment with Nkehu last night. But hopefully, if there's enough interest, more will be added! We did discuss coming up with a list of words we would like, thinking up the Darjuan version, then comparing the lists and picking the words we like best.

Tfutok - meaning Vkan...I mean dumbass. Kidding!

Seriously though, love this and am impressed. Would like to see more.

i will be adding the darjuan numerical and counting system later on, after i give it a little more thought.

the real kicker would be if we could get some of these into the lexicons.

i also wouldnt mind if this became a trend with other cultures in haelrahv.

We'll see what we can do. /signed, The Eolais

PS: Because I clearly speak for all Eolai players.

[Edit:] Are we talking about working out the TRUE lexicons, or just slang?

I'd be happy to work with you guys, both Darju and Eolai. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions of me here or in e-mail regarding the languages. As far as IG books are concerned, I'm not going to say that is totally out of the question. I mean I could totally see "The Urban Darju: A Dictionary of Modern Day Insults" or something of that nature Very Happy
