Adds so much more meaning behind the stones, it's a shame you can't view the text in game without mods or translations. Thanks for putting these all together!
It would be cool, especially because the Greybeards say you take the word into yourself, so understanding the philosophy behind the words, like with the Hoar Father could make some fun role-playing for people!
11:52 Taking into account how warriors in real life loved their war horses to death (for example, Alexander the Great, if I'm not mistaken, almost wanted to destroy a city's foundations when he found out of the death of his war horse) it is no surprise that at least one wall would be in honor of a war horse
@@Dovahkiin18makes sense considering he was at one point on Alduin’s side and was pretty bad. Which is why the Blades (or, rather, simply Delphine and Esborn) want him dead.
4:06 It's actually spelled and said "IIZ" with a double "i". Not an "l" I actually really liked the way you pronounced "qo" and words like "krah" or "grah": using the proper "cw" sound for "q" in dovahzul, and applying a guturality for "ah" akin to the "ch" in german. It's very according to the proper dovahzul grammar. But really, I loved this video. Gonna favorite it to watch many times later! Edit: There is a word for "the" in dovahzul, that being "fin", but dragons themselves don't use it, thought it appears in the Dragonborn Song. It's likely that such words were created by and for the human servants of the dragons during the Merethic Era, and probably this extends to words like pronouns as well
So the walls are not teaching the words of power or shouts but the dragonborn is reading these "epithets" and having an enlightenment from them, then it uses a certain dragon word related to the topic of the epithets/enlightenment to progress his related "shouts". This can potentially make the "shouts" unlimited in number and multiple shouts do the same things, teaching them would become a matter of understanding what a word means in the larger scheme of things, true mastery would become more of a philosophical understanding rather than "grammatical" or "dictionary" one, each shout would be poetry, at that point you are not learning a word but reflecting what what word represents and signifies through the experiences in the world, heck the same shouts could potentially have different effects depending on who uses them, if when meditating they reach a different understanding. The greybeards/paarthunax probably have more "flexibility" and actual skill in the use of the voice than any other dragon, since they "meditate" on the words, the dragonborn even more since he also travels and meets different people and circumstances to widen his view of things, rather than having the words filtered through a "hardwired" or something point of view, conversely the stubborn oafs set in their ways would be very "strong" but limited in what they can do
Just came across your channel a few weeks ago. Loving all the videos! Should make these videos into a playlist so I can binge watch/listen without it going to other youtube videos
If I’m correct at 2:45 it’s talking about the lore of the Origins of Atmorah the original homeland of the Nords which basically has little information about, but there are many instances about Atmorah, which there was a Nordic King of Atmorah, I don’t know if I’m right or wrong but there is ruin near Windhelm that has information about the origins of the Nords and the homeland of Atmorah and also the information of the book “The Seventeen and One Monarchs of the Ysgramor Dynasty”
10:47 This could be even darker and refer to man-mer that Ysgramor's Companions reported seeing in Skyrim. They may have been seen as worse than elves and all cut down. And not just the menmer, but the womenmer, and the childmer, too!
8:29 This doesn't necessarily state that Nievaan was an Argonian. Nievaan could have been one of the long lost Lizardmen from Arena. Nah I'm just kidding. We all know the Lizardmen were a massive prank by Sheogorath.
2:57 In Dovahzhul 'Lo' means to deceive, however 'Du' means to devour and 'Dun' means graceful so it could be either, as neither 'Ost' nor 'Nost' are words in the dragon tongue.

"Becoming old instead of wise" sounds incredibly relatable xD

Listening to these reminds me of the tales and memories written down by the real life Norse on the Runestones they left.
Yes, indeed my friend
considering dismay maar could be found in a forsworn stronghold maybe it was written from their perspective on how they viewed the falmer dying.
or maybe the reachmen are less high elf and more snow elf in their lineage unlike the other bretons.

Did you know that Dovahkiin actually has two meanings Dragon-kind-hunter-born
could be wrong but ive seen snow-wing- hunter
@@tristanjackson5343 That would be what Odahviing’s name translates to.
Did you know that Parthunaxx's name means "overlord," "ambition," and "cruelty.

I'm surprised that people are still seeing these two comments that I made

As a Dutch man, that guttural G is very fun to hear in other languages!
This was a good lore video Neloth
Thank you sire! 😎
Damn this video is underrated
Today I learned indirectly the name origin of Ralis' pickaxe Hoarfrost. Its a frost and paralysis enchantment but also able to take on stalhrim ore.
You’re a really good TH-camr man. I feel you have what it takes to make it really big.
Only if I have boys like you at my side! ❤❤❤
I'll totally watch if you do lore stuff.
Many people know the game, but not as many know the world.
So thank you, translations were appreciated.

Iwas waiting for decode ancient dragon walls like ohara
I haven’t finished this video yet so I haven’t seen if it’s here, but I love the “whenever the FUUUUCK!” Shout

16:48 Interesting that this person apparently tried to achieve Chim.
I was looking for a video like this for a bit i wish i knew you had one on it
Also the last word wall you voiced over was clearly the best one
10:47 This could be even darker and refer to man-mer that Ysgramor's Companions reported seeing in Skyrim. They may have been seen as worse than elves and all cut down. And not just the menmer, but the womenmer, and the childmer, too!
Well done!

I always wondered! Did you actually learn how to read dragon script?
Not exactly lol, all of the translations already existed on the UESP page and I believe the in-game files had them translated already.
Now are these written in the dragon alphabet but spelled out in English aside from the words of power or are they actually in Dovahzul?
