Note: This file is credited to the Temple of Lloth. Also note that the word list in this file is VERY old (as in, 1996). This file is useful primarily for its grammatical usage rules. You are advised to use the word list from more current sources like the House Maerdyn translator. Sometime I’ll update this page so it’s more current and prettier, but for now this little bit is better than nothing. –Brisid (26 Oct 2003)

Many of the Drow words and phrases appearing below are excerpts from “The Drow of the Underdark” by TSR, Inc., and other authorized AD&D sources. Where applicable, these excerpts are displayed in capital letters. The remaining Drow words and phrases have been developed by the Temple of Lloth (“TOL”). This dictionary may be distributed through licensed TSR sites and used in connection with any AD&D role-playing activity. However, TOL requests that no alterations or additions be made to this dictionary for use in Neverwinter Nights (“NWN”) without the consent of the TOL GM.
This dictionary has been prepared by the Sorcere for the use of the Drow in dealing with other races and as a guide for other races in the proper dealings with the Drow. To facilitate such use, the majority of this Dictionary has been translated into Common.
Any Drow allowed contact with other races should have received training in proper conduct elsewhere, thus no effort has been made to supplement such training here. Non-Drow are advised to pay heed to these Usage Notes. Many Drow societies welcome mutually profitable or pleasurable dealings with other races or societies. However, the Drow are a justly proud people and are quick to take offense — often fatal offense — at what they perceive to be insults or breaches of etiquette.
You have been warned.
Withstanding irregular forms, a plural is completed by “en” if it ends in a consonant or “n” if it ends in a vowel.
Singular
Plural
{Mistress}
{Mistresses}
Coincidentally, the possessive case in the Drow language is very similar to the Common Tongue used by most races. The possessive case is completed with “‘s” except if the word ends in “s” where upon “‘” is added.
A verb has different forms depending on its number (singular or plural); person (first, second, third); voice (active, passive); tense (present, past, future, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect); and mood (indicative, imperative, subjunctive).
NUMBER: Withstanding irregular verbs, the singular form is completed with “ar”.
Singular
Plural
{The warrior kills}
{The warriors kill}
{One male dies}
{Two males die}
PERSON: Verbs usually have a different form only in the third person singular of the present tense. Withstanding irregular verbs, the third person singular of the present tense is completed with “e”.
{I give}
{You give}
{He gives}
{I cast}
{You cast}
{She casts}
VOICE: A passive verb is a combination of a “be” verb and a past participle.
Active
{The Yathrin severs his head}Passive
{Hishead was severed by the Yathrin}
TENSE: Withstanding irregular verbs, the past tense is completed with “us”.
Active Voice
Passive Voice
Present Tense
{He hates}
{He is hated}Past Tense
{I hated}
{I was hated}Future Tense
{You will hate}
{You will be hated}Present Perfect
{You have hated}
{You have been hated}Past Perfect
{She had hated}
{She had been hated}Future Perfect
{I shall have hated}
{I shall have been hated}
MOOD: The mood of the verb indicates the tone in which the statement is made. The common “-ing” ending found in many verbs of the indicative mood is completed with “-in”. There are no other endings for the imperative or subjunctive moods.
{We are stripping the skin from some humans}
Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with “ur” while the superlative is completed with “url”. The common “-ful”suffix for many adjectives is indicated by “‘urn”.
Positive
Comparative
Superlative
{Dark}
{Darker}
{Darkest}
{Beautiful}
{More beautiful}
{Most beautiful}
Adverbs, like adjectives, have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with “ur” while the superlative is completed with “url”. The common “-ly” suffix for many adverbs is indicated by “ne” (or “e” if ending in “n”).
