Since this subject came up I have been going through Tir Taingire and my coll
ection of Shadow Run books and I have found some Elven words and sayings (most
of which came from the Never Deal With A Dragon series in which most of the
Elven in the TT sourcebook seems to come from. Those with the TT can now add
the following words to their vocab books.

AISHAR- Prosecutor, literally "he who looks for the truth"
CELISTE'- (Sellistay) Bringer of Light (A Tir University)
CINASTIEL- SKYWING, A Tir airline
EHLIOS- Defence Attorney, literally "arguer for the accused"
LAES- Memory wiping drug used by the Border Patrols
TAENGELE- Distilled loiquor of Honey and Anise, sweet with a pleasant bite of
liquorice.
TESETELINESTEA- Skull of the Dragon, an island in Crater Lake

Following are some sayings and the correct answers.
Telegit thelemsa- Maintain (the) laws of nature
Siselle. Thelemsa-ha.-It is the way of things. (The) laws of nature (are)
forever.

Respar sallah tishay a imar makkanagee-ha.- Listen (to the) silence of (the)
forest or remain forever ignorant.

Imiri ti-versakken.- Memorial of (the) enemy. FYOT pp 78.

Makkanagee morkham.- Stupid pig-fucker.FYOT pp 150

Ozidano teheron, milessaratish. Imo medaron co versakken- Leave your existence
behind my servant. Be death to my enemies.

Does anyone have any more stuff? Is there much extra in Earthdawn? Comments
are welcome.
