Creation and Usage Notes
| In the novel it appears as a part of the sentence: Naevʼde aen tvedeane, ellʼea?, as a havekar's rough translation of "nine Orens for twelve"; tabletop RPG authors and subsequently the whole fandom took the whole naevʼde as the word for "nine" but I suspect that the de part is a preposition of some kind, with the word for "nine" being just naev. |
