Anthologica Universe Atlas / Universes / Karmador / Elvish / Tree / Boreal Elvish / Boreal Language Notes
See overall Elvish document for grammar and vocabulary information.
If I were to create my own vocabulary and grammar, which is to say if I were to use this outside of D&D, the most frequently used sounds would be S/H/SH/CH/M/N/T/R and U/I.
While initial and medial consonants must take a vowel, words may end in N or S, or a vowel of course. Vowels can always stand alone. See phonology page for more information on sounds.
The language is single-pronoun, single-gender.
Naming format is Adult + Child + Family.
Names are chosen based on the desire for strength, elegance, or balance.
For the forest elves (including boreal), monogender means they don’t differentiate between genders, as it is viewed as irrelevant and generally no one’s business.
