Translations

[tk-421]

I have been editing/proofreading grammar, spelling, and sentence construction in building descriptions for some time now for Kull. Currently I am working on the wonder descriptions. After reading and editing many descriptions, I have noticed that general trend is for place names, the names of people, races, and political entities are written in an appropriate ancient language (in English characters). I have tried to maintain this style throughout my edits in order to maintain consistency, but many of the original authors wrote all names in English. I am completely ignorant of all ancient languages and acknowledge the fact that most EB members and many fellow fans are far smarter than me in this aspect and I am asking for anyone's help in translating certain words. I am not posting this in my editing thread (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1160879#post1160879) because I don't think that many people read it.

This is a list of words that I need and the languages that I need or potentially could need them in. Question marks denote words that I believe I have correct translations for but am not sure.

That's what I got after a bit of rummaging around and research, but I can't guarantee that they are correct, and need verification from an expert.
