Would Kaan as a word fit in the dragon language for "Land" ? I took it splitting the word Taazokaan for Tamriel ....

that way a lot of nice combos could be made ... unless ofc thereis already a word for "Land"


Vulkaan Darkland

Lizkaan Iceland

KrahKaan Coldland

etc...

I could be mixed up but I remember the Greybeards using that in their invocation. When I asked about it later, he translated it for me and Kaan matched up with Kyne.

Wich means?

Kyne is the Nords' nature deity, an angrier version of the Imperial Kynareth. Legend says that Kyne taught the Mords the power of Thu'um.

Ok but since there is no dragon word for land I asked if kaan could suit for it ...

If it's not taken by another translation, sure, why not.

The other possible one is the skyrim translation but I tought kaan sounded cooler may be or are there other ways to define a word for "Land"?

then it woudl be plausible for an ancient land of nords beyond the northern sea to be named in draconic language? Or something more altmerish elven woduld be more suited? Or something more nordic?

The Greybeards specifically name Atmora in their formal greeting to the Dovakhiin, when the player character weathers their combined voices. Can't remember what the word specifically was, but it was very similar to Atmora, with minor differences.

Just chiming in here directly after witnessing said event; the Greybeards use the word "Atmorasewuth". And now you know.

EDIT: After asking Ainger what they actually said, he gave a rough translation. Wouldn't you know, they used the phrase "..Atmora of old.." there, so I guess that -sewuth is a prefix meaning "old" or something like that. Also, in the place where the Greybeards shout "Kaan", he translated it into "Kyne", as Inklingstar said.

Ok so the nords would call the land beynd as atmora or the like , but how bout dragons?

how would be more plausible to name a northen place that holds the word "land" in it ? in nord , common , altmer , ayled or draconian?

I have read that ancient nords used the draconian speech too? How's that the nord use a common language but mostof their names and locations seem taken from the scandinavian language so far?

That speech by the greybeards was in the dragon tongue, so, they'd also call it Atmora.

It seems that the dragons and greybeards speak dragelic, a hybrid of Tamrielic and Dracon-speak (like spanglish). But if that speak was pure dragon... does that mean the merish language is draconic? Honestly, I guess it wouldn't be that surprising.

Ok let's put in other terms ...


A land beyond Skyrim to the north , not necessarly Atmora inhabited by Nords mostly and totally covered in ice , what language would be called in ?
