Glossary of the Storm-bringer Saga
Author’s note:
I have used some Gaelic words, such as ‘Fear Ban’ and ‘An Fiacail Dragan’, to help distinguish the use of the ‘Old Tongue’ of the Pectish Clans, who once reigned over Dragania. I hope that this adds to the texture of the story and differentiate the use of the ‘Old Tongue’. As the Glossary grows with the telling of this tale, it is no longer viable to include it within the book. Therefore, let me add a word of warning before you examine the Glossary further. **** It does contain spoilers! **** If you are one of those people who looks at the back page to find the answers to your crossword puzzles, be my guest, however, if you like the surprises and plot twists, handle the Glossary with care.
I have set out the format in the following manner. Firstly, I have included the word as used commonly in Dragania, secondly, the word in the old tongue of the Pects, (or any other relevant tongue) and finally, a brief description of the meaning. By making the Glossary available on my website, I can keep it updated as the Saga continues.Simply select the hyperlink: http://navlogan.wordpress.com/2013/10...
