The Alternian-to-English Glossary

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Trolit was made by a group of people translating stuff from the comic and putting it all together. I was hoping the some of the words here were the same so i could write those down as well but oh well.

Nope, sorry!

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Im currently following the trolit blog and im wondering if the words are the same on this blog and you just have more or this is a completely different translation of the language?

The trolit blog? I have no idea what that is. :/

I can tell you that I made up all of these words myself. I don’t have an accomplice haha

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Out of curiosity, would Beforan Trohlda be/sound exactly the same as Alternian? Or would the common language have a softer sound to it because of the difference of cultures?

Similar, but not identical. Softer is a good word for it.

Kokan

[kokan] (adjective). Fickle. Fickle-hearted. Unsure.

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Do you have a word for someone who contantly quadrant flips?

Yes! Kokan is what you want.

Ga’anhana’gar

[ga anhana gaɾ] (noun). Survivalist. Someone who conquers nature.

[the-alternian-lexicon]

On another topic what would you call someone who specializes in putting themselves into dangerous environments and not dying? ...You know a survivalist.

That’s an interesting question. Hmmm... Let me think about this one...

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Hey long time no see how have you been? Not really a translation question, but do you have any ideas for games or sports that existed in troll culture? also do you think something like gladiatorial combat was a thing?

I’m lovely! Thank you!

I’m not big into sports so I tend not to think about that kind of thing. But I believe gladiatorial combat would be huge! 

Imagine people having posters of their favorite gladiators haha And going to matches with groups of friends, completely smashed, and making bets on whose going to win and which limbs are going to be lost in the fray. Fun times, man

Jesandha’gar

[ʤesanda gaɾ] (noun). Archeradicator.

[the-alternian-lexicon]

If you're doing portmanteaus, could "threshecutioner" also make it in there? (I completely understand fear of portmanteaus; they frighten me as well.)

Anything for you, mortharris, fellow conlanger and all-around swell guy!

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Is there a tag for insults?

There is not, sadly. I didn’t have the forethought to make one. Now there are just insults scattered everywhere. :(

But here are some of my favorites:

Taag

Harrsa

Ohuk’muugar

Dek’yas

Meha’mesh

[meha meʃ] (noun). Doctorturer.

Haka’kotik

[haka kotik] (noun). Laughsassin.

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Have you tried translating career titles like archeradicator, laughsassin or doctorturer?

Portmanteaus frighten me but I will translate them if it means making you happy.

[the-alternian-lexicon]

Is there a specific word for mutant? Like...a mutant seadweller for example?

T’shro might be what you’re looking for.
