Xeivŕs[/i]

NOTE: There are two forms of the first person plural in Xeivŕs: the inclusive and the exclusive. In the inclusive form, this statement would have a rousing and brotherly tone, indicated by the words “phyec” and “dvor”, which have no precise translation and are more interjectory words which indicate friendliness. In the exclusive form, this statement would have a stern, ominous tone, indicated by the word “sliŕe,” which best translates to the English use of the word “no?” as an end to a sentence, but with a connotation of aggression.

Inclusive form - audio here: chirb.it/hw6BLK

Yeah.

I think my speaking voice is a bit delicate for Orcish and Dwarvish, though. XD
