Maybe the programmers just thought that it sounded drowish enough [img]smile.gif[/img]

By the way, where did you find the translator? Lat time I checked, the bookstore didn't stock English-> Drow dictionaries... :D

Maybe it could be a conditional phrase, or it could be drow slang that the dictionaries haven't added to themselves yet... :D perhaps there could be more than one translation for a word.

Drow are scary... Not nice, evil, dark dwelling critters...

Found the translator on the internet.

Pritchke's got a point. The French -> English and vice versa internet translators are shocking...

Maybe you heard her wrong and she said 'Ust Natha', not 'nau natha'? Because Ust Natha is the city of the drow (underdark)

It's actually a city in the Underdark, not the city.

Has anyone considered that the Drow elfs does not pronounce the words like an American would pronounce them? They might even use sounds, not used in any of the 'surface languages'. The Drow/English dictionary - was that for the spoken language or for the written language? I wonder if the Drow elfs are using the same alphabet as we do either.

I do not know Drow, but to me Viconias words sounds pretty much like Drow (close enough ;) ).

She might use some kind of sub culture slang. Each and every day, the teenagers are trying to find new ways to spoil their native language :D I think Moiraine sedai noted that as well.

PS: - Or Black Isle might have hired an incompetent translater.
