The only name i have found so far is Tjurhane Fyrre. I'm working on a mod and I need some idea as to what I can name the Aylied characters. Can anyone help?

Gordhaur, Hadhuul, and Nilichi have been mentioned as names of Ayleid kings.

Not specific names per say, but you can create a lot of "Ayleid Sounding" names from the words presented.

Not that it has anything to do wit anything, but Tjurhane means "male bull" in Swedish.
Coincidence?

As opposed to a female bull? :blink:

Yes, as opposed to a female one. Tjur = bull, hane = male.

Thanks a lot guys. This should help me out. : )

Yes, as opposed to a female one. Tjur = bull, hane = male.

In English, "bull" implies male, so "male bull" is redundant.

One of my brothers is named Amuranan. I always thought it was such a masculine name. He struck fear into the hearts of many of the ugly men things.

I had no idea.

"Tjur" means the exact thing as bull. It also implies it is a male. "Hane" is the swedish word for male. Therefore, "Tjurhane" = male bull.

You mean they actually have a word for "female bull"?

If you by "them" mean us swedes (:D) then not really. The word "Tjurhane" isn't a real word, just two words (with more or less the same meaning, creating an overexplicit word formation) put together, exactly like "male bull" is in english. You see, when two swedish words are put together to form another, they are contracted to one word. (Tjur + hane = Tjurhane) while in English they keep the words separate.
But enough of the grammar lessons allready.

Naah, Swedish is one of the most beautiful languages of the world. It's just a little poor sometimes. :foodndrink:

Crazy poo flinging monkey begets bull? Did you mean Morihaus?

Yes, damn you Astion, those dumb monkeys are all I can think about! "Gher ?gmit. Fyakkef appapenthohl!"

"Gher ?gmit. Fyakkef appapenthohl!"

Translation for those of you who don't speak Great Ape:

"I'm sorry. Curse the monkeys!"

English does, too. The English word for "female bull" is "female bull." Fascinating, isn't it?

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:25 am

....The words "female bull" together make no sense, their called cows.

» Thu May 26, 2011 8:41 pm

Yeah. You might as well call somebody a "male [censored]".

Hey, wait. You actually do get those.

Us Norwegians have a very similar word for Tjurhane. Kyrhane, but in our case, kyr = either bull or cow. And hane is male, same as in Swedish.

So Kyrhane is just another word for bull. Willing to bet money we stole that word from the swedes, but at least we improved it

We also have okse, which is another word for bull... That we stole from the brits.

Yeah...

I know, we're filthy thieves

Naah, the english stole it from us scandinavians (They stole everything from us, being so impressed by our manly vikings, they wanted to be as cool too. After all, it has been proved that Sweden, and by extension, the rest of Scandinavia) is the Sunken Atlantis, and the center of the world. Who can argue with 17th-19th century nationalist fanatics?). Swedes have "oxe", you know. And for females; "tjurhona". Or "ko". And "kviga"
Still, even though I'm certain you shouldn't say "tjurhona" for cow, I'm still pretty sure you can call bulls "kohane", = "male cow".
Maybe.

EDIT: Goddamit, I can't even spell my own language right.

A little poor? It's very poor I would say. Now I became thirsty.
