[yellowdingo]

Greetings erks! This is the English - Goblin Dictionary for those adventurers seeking to Speak Goblin in the appropriate Dialect.

If you have a goblin Phrase or Word, feel free to include it and its Translation.

Let us begin with words and phrases starting with A. Feel free to contribute.

GOBLIN - ENGLISH USAGE
A
Ah'H'Erk! - Please stop crushing my throat!
Ah'K'Hu! - My Dogskin! Mine!

You will notice here that Ah' is a phonetic component refering to self. WHen refering to another, the sequence changes so the reference is last in the phrase. K'Hu'Thu is - His Dogskin, Return! It also means - Spare his worthless skin - but only in the appropriate useage.

Good start would be use names of famous goblin heroes and gods. And rip them into pieces. Also, I don't think it would be wrong using words, wich resembles known words, can be loans or lucky coinsidense.

Hadregash (chief of gods) - ?
had - ?
reg - main chieftain
gash - breath?
ash - ?
Venkelvore (divine consort) - (Woman of divine appetite)
Ve- (Fe-) - female
enkel - angel, divine
vor - eat, appetite, hunger
e - feminine ending
Zarongel (the hunter) - ?
Zar - ?
on - ?
twist form of enkel?
Zogmugot (trickster) - (The one playing dirty of us)
Zot - That, the one, there
ogm - ?
mug - hitting from back?
got - ?

With words already created, there is one nice relation
vor - eat, hunger
vork - the one eating first or most: boss, mouthy
