Chapter 3: Expressing Possession
There are two ways to show possession in dwarvish. The first uses the conjunction ‘ov,’ which means ‘of.’
Veld ov Thorrim aeoch heir.
Thorrim’s field is here.
Verifoch mich ov haut.
I sold my house.
The second is even simpler. Just combine the words signifying the owner and the possession:
Verifoch michhaut.
I sold my house.
Michwashelg aeoch beddegh.
My shield is old.
Fifur killed my friend.
Fifur mabtoch michvruend.
Chapter 4: Imperatives
Dwarvish verbs are not conjugated. The only exception is when it comes to giving commands. All dwarvish verbs end with -och. Dropping -och from a verb results in its imperative form.
Rauf! Rauf!!
Run! Run!!
Dlomm heir
Come here.
Nae versa!
Don’t die!
Mabt siad!
Kill them!
Chapter 5: Expressing Desires
The verb ‘wofeloch’ means ‘to want.’
Wofeloch washelg.
I want a shield.
Ee wofeloch michhaut.
He wants my house.
Wofeloch ceudert gude dwergen!
I want a hundred good dwarves!
‘Wofel’ is a dwarvish noun meaning ‘desire, want.’ When ‘wofel’ precedes a verb, the following expression can be made:
Mich wofel caufoch washelg.
I want to buy a shield.
Ie wofel fascoch madeugh.
She wants to see her mother.
Mich nae wofel mabtoch daibh.
I don’t want to kill you.
