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... |
| Gray Richardson04-24-06, 12:26 AM | 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. |
