Ancient Nordic Words[edit]

I haven't included ancient Nordic words on this page because, as far as I can tell, they are just Dragon-tongue words written in a Tamrielic-like alphabet. I cited this in the article to support this belief:

"It did in fact appear as if the ancient Nords had copied the language of the dragons of old, for the characters of that language very much resemble claw marks, or scratches. One can almost envision a majestic dragon using his great, sharp talons to carve the symbols into the stone itself. And a human witness - possibly even a thrall or servant - learning, observering [sic], so that he too could use the language for his own ends."

"Assigning those scratchings to actual Tamrielic langauge characters, I further translated what I saw into this: Het nok Yngnavar Gaaf-Kodaav, wo drey Yah moron au Frod do Krosis, nuz sinon siiv dinok ahrk dukaan." Mindtrait0r (talk) 21:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
