What did Princess Zelda NOT hear when Ganondorf was meeting with her father in the beginning of "Ocarina of Time"? Apparently, a lot. This is another hypothe...
What was really said the day Ganondorf paid a visit to the King of Hyrule? (and Zelda met Link?) The answer will surprise you!
Imagine if he had been found guilty. Ocarina of Time may not have happened.
Ganondorf is on trial! This takes place before the events of Ocarina of Time.
How to use the "-less" suffix.
Da musti!
I contemplated putting this in a possible second edition of my bestselling book (ALL languages...including the upcoming, unpublished Spanish and German!). And yes, it is bestselling...compared to my other publications.
So, today's topic: using the "-less" suffix in Va Ehenív.
Simple, really: add "Dorf" (without) in front of the noun. That's all.
Here are some examples of this:
Dorf-kada = Careless (without care)
Dorf-nahasahi = Hopeless
Dorf-jkar = Helpless
Dorf-sarore = Gutless (without courage; "cowardly" is another translation)
Dorf-kitit = Thankless
Dorf-Rupi = Penniless ("natgram" is the most commonly used term)
Dorf-uk = Useless
Dorf-fakart= Thoughtless (not the same as dorf-kada)
Dorf-rora = Luckless
That's pretty much all for that. It's very simple. Go ahead, give it a go!
Whilst we are here: let's discuss the "Un-"/"In-" prefix.
Again, like "-less": super simple. However, it is used for adjectives and adverbs as opposed to nouns.
Add "Müs" before the adverb/adjective.
Here are some examples:
Müs-æmba = Unfair (unjust)
Müs-rorali = Unlucky
Müs-shufito = Insufficient
Müs-situt = Uncontrollable (uncontrolled)
Müs-twin = Unlike (or "different")
Müs-fakar = Unthinkable (Inconceivable/Unfathomable)
Müs-mírekst = Undead
Müs-shidad = Weak (unstrong)
Müs-kilitsu = Unfeeling (numb)
***
The list goes on. I won't bore you with any more of my rantings.
Questions: send me a DM or comment. Always happy to help!
Sie können auch die (inoffizielle) Sprache der Gerudos lernen! Ich habe diese Sprache im Jahr 2004 erstellt und sie basiert auf den Gerudos aus der Ocarina of Time-Ära.
Soll ich ein Buch schreiben? Ich habe bereits ein französisches Ehenív-Buch und viele deutsche Ehenív-Lektionsblogs hier geschrieben. Auf Tumblr.

Pronunciation Notes: Word Stress in Ehenív
I was once asked about this.
Rising/falling tones on first, second (or third) syllable?
If you look at the dictionary: the words are VERY diverse. No two words are the same.
I know that in some languages: there are words that are homographs(spelled the same). However, there are distinct pronunciations.
An example from Swedish: Anden (Ánden) *The Duck and then Anden (Ànden) The Spirit.
(Example was taken from the book 'Teach Yourself Swedish' by Vera Croghan)
The first example is single tone. Latter is double.
So, what about Ehenív?
If you see an accented vowel: wherever it is, it is stressed. First, second (or even third)...it gets stressed.
Example: Étimana(Always). The first syllable is stressed (Éti) and the rest is neutral tone.
Second syllable example: Lumék (Lu-MÉK) (to be) Awake.
In the case of words that do not contain accented vowels: it's the 2nd syllable.
Here are some examples:
Lupethl (lu-PE-thl) (a) Cat.
Ita (i-TA) (a) Tower
Adila (a-DI-la)
***
Anyway, that's all there is to it.

*I know 'Ankan' also means 'the duck' and is probably the most correct translation.
I did a thing...
It’s a full, English-Ehenív Dictionary. However, there is no Latin transliteration: just Ehenív in it’s respective alphabet (unofficial Gerudo Alphabet, however, it is what is use on my website to avoid lawsuits by Nintendo...I’m too broke to be sued!) I also added Me-Vírdas numerals in the back. Don’t have to spell numbers out, anymore if you don’t want to.
Me-Vírdas Alphabet was created by Robert Rennie. The Numerals, though were created by me to supplement his font.
I may do a Classic Gerudo version...but there will be some omissions (I mean making it very Retro! No Hylianised Gerudo words)
This was made for Ehenív (Ocarina of Time-based Gerudo Language) students of mine.
Price: Free
Why?: Because selling this version would be pointless seeing as how you can already find this information on my website(minus the new, Me-Vírdas numeral section...that is exclusive to the PDF book). Also, It’s Mr Rennie’s alphabet...it would be VERY unfair of me to use and sell it and him get nothing!
By the way: does anybody know how I can figure out fair compensation and how to pay my collaborator? PayPal is untrustworthy(my mum got her identity stolen through it and is still trying to clean up the mess!)...and I am dreadful at maths!
Any road: if you are interested in this version, please email me at [email protected]
Here is an example of an official Gerudo legal document.
If you can read this: ke-mo! You’re a Gerudo!
If you can guess what sort of document this is without being able to read or understand it: you’re ‘jinra’ and reblog this post to show your followers that you are!
(Gerudo Typography is the property of Nintendo; I do not own any rights to it!)
But, I will translate it, anyway.
