Longest name (and word) in the Dwarven Language
« on: January 21, 2008, 02:19:00 pm »
Is Pukepukes the Fetid Spurting Puke-Puke of Pukes
AKA Ngathseshngathsesh Lithrushguthstakngathseshngathsesh Ngathsesh.

Puke is the longest word in the dwarven language, at 9 characters. There are no other 9-character words I can find.

Puke is not available as an adjective so i chose some appropriate 8-letter words.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion, that violence has never solved anything, is wishful thinking at its worst.

I'm not saying I'd want to build a summer home there, but the trees are actually quite lovely.

That being said, I should probably think of something witty to put here.

"Ngathsesh" sounds like onomatopoeia for particularly violent puking.

In MY universe every Dwarf Fortress is Castle Shagalot.

(Ok, Shatagelot, close enough ...)

Hey Forumsdwarf, if that just ended in 'in' it would be pronounced 'Shat a Gelatin'.

Seventeenth post down.

Not to say I don't encourage more lengthy dwarven names. Post more in that thread, too!  :D
