This is a file of the words that comprise the primitive
language used by the natives of the planet Zorandar, as compiled
by the French archeologist Monique Baptiste.
A * Woman or female
Ala * Wise woman
Ale * Wise man
Alor The orange red star in the sky. Also used as a
suffix meaning the color red.
An And
Ar * Queen or Chieftess of
Ara * Princess or Daughter of the Chieftess
Bak Lizard
Balka Fire
Balor The yellow star in the sky. Also a suffix meaning
the color yellow.
Calor The white star in the sky. Assuming the natives
found anything white, it would probably be
used in the same fashion as the other stars.
Dar * Of the skies, everything not of the Earth. Often
used to indicate strangeness or something
unnatural.
Dak Yes
Et * Transforms a noun into an adjective
Gat * Long
Gor Teeth, an object that is sharp
I * Plurality, or a tribal unit
Il * Having "magic", usually used with one of the
gender suffixes
Jar Water, also used to describe a large body of water.
It would also be used as a suffix if the Uti
found an object which reflected light.
Jor River
Ko * Ugly
Kot Plains
Kur Creature that flies, a bird

Roman Legionaire's shield

Oro * Prince or the son of the Chief
Pith Furry, mammalian in nature. Also used to mean hair.
Po * Small, diminutive of a larger thing, child of
Saro South
Satha Apparently some sort of reptilain monster that is
greatly feared by the natives. I can see no
root in their language that this came from.
Perhaps some outside influence?
Taro North
Tek * Head
Ut Tree
Yif Mate, or permanent partner of the opposite sex. The
less said about this, the better.
Yift Mated. I believe it to be a corruption of Yifet.
Zodar Mountain, or literally "earth reaching to the sky"
Zor Dirt, the ground, the earth itself
Zorandar The name of the world. Literally "the Earth and
Everything else".
All terms marked "*" are usually only used as suffixes.
As with most primitive cultures, nouns are able to be
combined to provide an astounding range of descriptive terms.
"Utpogor" is "sharp small tree (branch)" or spear, "Utolapo" would
be "Small girl child of the Chief", and the name I have been given
her is Calorpithala, which mean "Red haired wise woman".
