Hello everyone!
This article is to interpret the naming of the dragon clan in the old man ring.
- Maybe everyone has found out when playing the game, the dragon usually uses "so-and-so Sanx" to name it, what rules are there?
Wyvern: Agheel
- Ag- This prefix is derived from the first half of the Latin agere, meaning to do do, proxy.
For example, the agency office, agenda agenda
- Heel means the heel of a quadruped animal.
So Agheel literally translates "a heel-like agent dragon"
Wyvern: Greyll
- Grey gray, while the root of the word -ll I prefer is a meaningless mood word.
- So the Ghirell Wyvern is the "Grey Wyvern"
There is also a Greyoll Dragon Mother/Dragon Tomb in the game, and there are many understandings of the root of the word -oll, such as coll neck, moll softening.
The literal translation is "Grey Neck Dragon Mother" and "Light Grey Dragon Tomb"
Pyroxene Dragon: Smarag
- The first half of the smar is the smart declension, and the second half of the -ag affix has been mentioned earlier, the proxy.
So Smarag's literal translation is "wisdom substitution."
Pyroxene Dragon: Yadura Adula
- Adula I understand as a variation of adulate, adulate flattery, flattery.
So the second pyroxene dragon is also called the "Dragon of the Horse's Ass"
"Step into Corruption" by Eggeris Ekzykes
The word Ekzykes I was really powerless anymore.
I give a metaphysical understanding here, which friends who know can add in the comments section.
- First of all, Eggkith belongs to the Wyvern, so this Ekzy is likely to be a generic Ag-root variant of the Wyvern, and the two are pronounced similarly.
Then -kes the root of the word I understand as chaos chaos:
The two are also pronounced similarly, so together they are:
"Dragon of Corruption: Chaos Substitution"
Dragon King: Platon Sanx Placidusax
- Placid peaceful, peaceful
- The affix -us comes from the Latin uti, meaning to use
For example, disuse is not used, usage usage
-ax affix I found a lot of information, the statement is different, the more reliable is from the Latin axis:
- The name of the Dragon King is still very flavorful, meaning that the Dragon King is full of tranquility and axiom, so the literal translation of the Dragon King is "the dragon with tranquility as the axis"
Dead Dragon: Fersanx Fortissax
- While the names of the Dead Dragon and the Dragon King are very similar, fortis means strong/brave in Latin, and the affix of -ax has been mentioned earlier.
Together, they correspond to the Dragon King: "Dragon with strength as the axis"
Lava Dragon: Makar Makar
- Makar, obviously, is a variant of the maker.
And the suffix -ar also has "... "man" means, so lava dragon Makar literally translates to: "lava maker"
Cologne: Lance Sanx Lansseax
- Lansse can be seen as a variant of the Lance spear.
- The cologne obviously has the same naming pattern as the previous dragon king and the dead dragon, that is, a word +ax.
So together they are: "Dragon with a spear as the axis"
"Frozen Ice Mist" By Borealis
- Boreal North/North
- There is also an astronomical term called Corona Borealis, which refers specifically to the constellation of the Northern Corona.
Therefore, Bolleus sounds very beautiful and tall, and the actual people are called "the northern dragon of frozen fog".
The Great Earth Dragon: O'Doric Theodorix
This dragon looks unassuming, and its name is not simple.
Theo- This prefix means "related to God," followed by doroix with a lot of understanding.
- For example, the transfiguration of the personal name Doris Doris, which together is "Doris of the Gods"
- Another example is rix, which can also be seen as a variation of the Latin riba quarrel, which together is theo-do-rix: "The dragon who quarrels with God"
summary
After reading Martin's dragon naming, one rule was found:
- Lower dragons such as Wyvern prefer to be named after ag- affixes, meaning "surrogate of xx".
- And the high dragon, the ancient dragon likes to add the end of the word -ax, indicating that the dragon is very important and is the core of the dragon clan.
In addition, I found that as long as it is a dragon-related translation, the Chinese group has unexpectedly translated it well.
- For example, the prefix of the corrupt dragon is decaying is in corruption, and The Sinhua uses "step into corruption" to embody Xindaya.
- For example, the original English text of Dragon Feast is dragon communion, which is not translated as "Dragon Meal" and "Dragon Feast".
