The spoken form of the language is called S'Kra. Unless otherwise stated, the information in this article pertains to S'Kra. S'Kra is a simplified form of Sharaanpon'u (S'Kra Mur traditional form of poetry), which is used in ceremonies and rituals.

Eth'ral'khh

The written language is called Eth'ral'khh. Eth'ral'khh is a logographic system that primarily comprises ideograms. Because Eth'ral'khh is not written in the Common alphabet, it is not directly represented in the game. However, some Eth'ral'khh signs and items are transliterated into the Common alphabet.

Hissing Speech

Hissing is commonly viewed in two ways. On the one hand, it is natural for S'Kra Mur to hiss when expressing intense emotion, such as anger, frustration, or excitement. On the other hand, to habitually hiss one's speech is a mark of low birth. A S'Kra Mur who speaks with a habitual hiss is often viewed with disdain by other S'Kra Mur.

Beginner's Notes

Forms of Address

  • What is said can vary greatly in meaning, depending on the form of address used. This is most obvious when speaking in the pohan form.
-When a single word differs between the verb forms, a 'n' is often part of the q'alrin form, an 'l' in the smolgan form, and a 's' in the ru'atin form.
Example: 'I am'
q'alrin: aena
smolgan: aela
ru'atin: aesa

Compounds

  • S'Kra uses many compound words. A whole sentence or idea can be put into one long word, less intimidating when broken down.
-The subject and verb are often combined into one compound word. Starts with the subject, followed by the conjugated verb. (ae for I, yi for he).
-You can also combine a subject and pronoun to indicate ownership. (ae when used in a compound with a noun becomes my)
-The names for the tail gestures often have similar meanings to the emotions they express when used in speech. You can guess that some contentment or peace is involved when you hear em in a sentence. Anger is involved when you hear oloh.
-'hhs often used to denote belonging. Suffix to the word that is owned.
-lakh is used to denote that something is missing.
