Virtual Verduria

English-Verdurian Dictionary

© 1998-2002 by Mark Rosenfelder

This is a more up-to-date version of the dictionary that used to be available from zompist.com in Word format via ftp. I don't really have the bandwidth to keep it in multiple formats. I chose html format because (a) that seemed best in a quick poll on the message board and (b) it's very fast to update.

Transitivity is marked (still rather inconsistently, in this edition) when it differs from the English: "rihan (vt)" indicates that rihan is transitive though 'look' is not;"cipan (vi)" indicates that cipan is intransitive though 'boil' can be used transitively; "brigan (ak)" indicates that the object of brigan must be a prepositional phrase with ak, although 'fight' is transitive. (If an example makes clear what preposition is used, it will not be indicated in the main entry.)

It is always good practice to confirm meanings, case usage, irregularities, and syntactic vagaries in the Verdurian-English section.

Place names and other terms used in Almean studies are generally entered only in the English-Verdurian section when the Verdurian equivalent differs from the usual English rendering (e.g. Shura for Skouras, Barahin for Barakhinei).

For weights and measures, see the Thematic Dictionary; for names, see the monograph on Verdurian Names.

The intent is to capture usage by good Mazhtane writers as of Z.E. 3480. Some archaisms are included, but no anticipations of the future. Those interested in using Verdurian to refer to aspects of modern terrestrial life should refer to the Secret Dictionary of Verdurian.
