The following is a guide that will translate many Aethen words into Mercurian/common and explain some of the syntax of the language.
Regular
nouns are often combined with
adjectives or other
nouns to create a
proper noun or word that represents more than just its literal meaning. In these cases, the
noun will always come before the
adjective and the first letter of each segment of the word will be capitalized. "On" is a transition phrase sometimes used that most closely translates to "of". "On" is used before the second word and is capitalized in place of the following word.
Example A: dor + eryn = DorEryn
Example B: echui + eth = EchuiOneth
