Note on Standard Usage

Quite a number of contributors to Project Aon have reported inconsistencies regarding the use of words such as Drakkar across the series. After much research into the usage of Drakkar/Drakkarim, Nadziran/Nadziranim, and Ligan/Liganim across the books, we have decided to standardise the usage of the words in the following ways, which represent majority usage:

  • noun (s.): Drakkar
  • noun (pl.): Drakkarim
  • adj: Drakkarim
  • noun (s.): Nadziran
  • noun (pl.): Nadziranim
  • adj: Nadziranim
  • noun (s.): Ligan
  • noun (pl.): Liganim
  • adj: Liganim

All of the other words ending in -im either already conform to these rules (i.e. gazim, kuzim, lajakim, rekenarim, Sharnazim, and Tefarim) or cannot be conclusively tied to Darkland languages (e.g. Ghagrim).
