Credit goes to Swords of Haven - groups.msn.com/SwordsofHaven/homepage.msnw and ThinkQuest - library.thinkquest.org/28010/HOVlang.htm and the Wikipedia for these particular compilations of these languages. Some editing has been done on the parts of The Queen’s Arrows - z3.invisionfree.com/TheQueensArrows/index.php and myself. But let all credit go where it’s due and I cannot claim credit for more than a few of these words. I've 'guessed' at a few words by taking thier meaning from larger words (like tale = hawk, taking it from Tale'sedrin). If anyone sees a word that is wrong or knows ones that are missing let me know and I'd edit! Thank you Misty for such a rich world with it’s diverse languages and thank you to whomever initially sought all this stuff out (or figured it out through a proper knowledge of how languages work) and then posted it for us more lazy or less knowledgeable folks to use. (And I am both of those ) As more words/languages are added appropriate credits will be added to this post.
