The Drow DictionaryOriginally compiled by Larenil of the Temple of Lloth, for TOL.
Ammended for use by the City of Velkyn-Tirith.
Table of Contents
I. Notes & CreditsSpecial Thanks to the following individuals for their work on this dictionary:
Larenil, Arch Priestess of Arach Tinilith, TOLKarlin Mott, Apprentice of Sorcere, TOLMavralyn Elythanar, Ilharess d'Elythanar, TOL & CVTOrbb Solen ~ Ilharess d'Xun'Drux, CVTTyllek T'ssaran ~ Qu'el'Faeruk, CVT
Usage Notes:Many of the Drow words and phrases appearing below are excerpts from "The Drow of the Underdark" by TSR, Inc., and other authorized AD&D sources. In the sections, COMMON TO DROW and DROW TO COMMON, these words are displayed in ALL CAPS. The remaining Drow words and phrases have been compiled, developed, and ammended to this dictionary by the Temple of Lloth ("TOL") and the city of Velkyn-Tirith ("CVT"). This dictionary may be distributed through licensed TSR sites and used in connection with any AD&D role-playing activity. However, both TOL & CVT request that no alterations or additions be made to this dictionary without consulting either Legora ([email protected]) or Mavralyn ([email protected]). This dictionary has been compiled and prepared for in dealing with other races and as a guide for other races in the proper dealings with the Drow. To facilitate such use, the majority of this Dictionary has been translated into Common. Any Drow allowed contact with other races should have received training in proper conduct elsewhere, thus no effort has been made to supplement such training here. Non-Drow are advised to pay heed to these Usage Notes. Many Drow societies welcome mutually profitable or pleasurable dealings with other races or societies. However, the Drow are a justly proud people and are quick to take offense, often fatal offense, at what they perceive to be insults or breaches of etiquette.
You have been warned.
II. Grammara. PluralizationWithstanding irregular forms, a plural is completed by en if it ends in a consonant or n if it ends in a vowel.
Singular PluralJabbress Jabbressen(Mistress} (Mistresses)
Velve Velven{Blade} (Blades)
b. Possessive CaseCoincidentally, the possessive case in the Drow language is very similar to the Common Tongue used by most races. The possessive case is completed with 's except if the word ends in "s" where upon just an apostrophe ( ' ) is added.
Sarn lil velg'larn's inthen{Beware the assassin's schemes}
Nindil zhah lil Ilharess' elgluth{That is the Matron's whip}
c. VerbsA verb has different forms depending on its number (singular or plural); person (first, second, third); voice (active, passive); tense (present, past, future, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect); and mood (indicative, imperative, subjunctive).
Number: Withstanding irregular verbs, the plural form is completed with er.
Singular PluralLil sargtlin elgg Lil sargtlinen elgger{The warrior kills} {The warriors kill}
Uss jaluk el Draa jaluken eler{One male dies} {Two males die}
Person: Verbs usually have a different form only in the third person singular of the present tense. Withstanding irregular verbs, the third person singular of the present tense is completed with e.
Usstan belbau Dos belbau Uk belbaue{I give} {You give} {He gives}
Usstan luth Dos luth Il luthe{I cast} {You cast} {She casts}
Voice: A passive verb is a combination of a "be" verb and a past participle.
Active:L'Yathrin harventhe ukt karliik{The Yathrin severs his head}
Passive:Ukt karliik zhahus harventhus a'lil Yathrin{His head was severed by the Yathrin}
Tense: Withstanding irregular verbs, the past tense is completed with uz.
Active Voice Passive VoicePresent Tense Uk phlithe Uk zhah phlithuz
{He hates} {He is hated}
Past Tense Usstan phlithuz Usstan zhahus phlithuz{I hated} {I was hated}
Future Tense Dos orn phlith Dos orn tlu phlithuz{You will hate} {You will be hated}

Future Tense Usstan zhal inbal phlithuz Usstan zhal inbal tlus phlithuz {I shall have hated} {I shall have been hated}
Mood: The mood of the verb indicates the tone in which the statement is made. The common "-ing" ending found in many verbs of the indicative mood is completed with "-in". There are no other endings for the imperative or subjunctive moods.
Indicative:Udos phuul raldarin l'waess da'fol rivvin.{We are stripping the skin from some humans}
d. AdjectivesAdjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with ur while the superlative is completed with url. The common "-ful" suffix for many adjectives is indicated by urn.
Positive Comparative SuperlativeOlath Olathur Olathurl{Dark} {Darker} {Darkest}
Ssin'urn Mzild ssin'urn Mzilst ssin'urn{Beautiful} {More beautiful} {Most beautiful}
e. AdverbsAdverbs, like adjectives, have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with ur while the superlative is completed with url. The common "-ly" suffix for many adverbs is indicated by ne (or e if ending in "n").
