I hope I have as much success with this as other "dictionary" posters imply.

Does anyone know of an active, let me repeat active link to a dwarven dictionary??

I can't tell you how many links i've seen today on the web and various message boards that say "duuuuude!! here is the most comprehensive, rockin', any-sentence-you-can-think-of-regardless-of-grammar dwarven translator/dictionary that youv'e ever seen!!!"
(click) the link.........."page cannot be displayed"........ :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:



i need to cut back on the caffeine...

I don't know of an active link, but there is a dwarven dictionary in Dwarves Deep, the FR supplement about dwarves. Also, Ed Greenwood supplemented this dictionary with some new words in his Ed's Answers over on Candlekeep.

I don't know if anyone has put it in a file yet.

-It's amazing that those short, squat, smelly blockheads have their own official dictionary, all nice and compliled in one place, while the Fair Folk don't...:noway:
