"Die N'Wah!" Yes, we've all heard an angry Dunmer shout that to us in its gravely voice. But what exactly is an N'Wah?

I've been told it means slave or something. I don't know, but someone correct me if I am wrong.

It always sounded to me like a childish retraction of the phrase "N-word" which we all know is one of the foulest things you can say, specifically to people who's ancestors were systematically forced into unpaid labor.
