Dunmer slang : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Tue May 17, 2011 9:32 am

Hi,
I really like the Dark Elves, but they sometimes say the most peculiar things: After playing Oblivion for a while (?good? character?) most of the Dark Elves started calling me ?Sera? and even ?Mut'sera?. Also when I did something wrong to them they called me ?s'wit?. What does all of this mean? Does anybody mabye know a link to a place where there is a ?Elder Scrolls - English translator?? If so, then I would love to have it. :bigsmile:

s'wit is somekind of insult
mut'sera is muthsera if i remember which is like an honor respect thing

...That's already been asserted.

We're trying to find more EXACT meanings. At least I was.

I guess sera means something like ?honored one? while muthsera means something even more dignified like ?revered one?. I'm not really sure what s'wit could mean but I guess it's somewhere along the lines of ?other word for a female dog? (I guess I'll get censored if I type it, you know; the B-word)

Walter:

S'wit is apparently short for "short of wit" i.e. basically the Dunmeri equivalent of calling someone an idiot.

Using that logic, discern for me what n'wah means.

Walter:

From as far as the Real Lore Masters? here and I can tell, it's just a racial insult towards outlanders. :shrug:
