Usage Notes:
Many of the Drow words and phrases appearing below are excerpts from "The Drow of the Underdark" by TSR, Inc., and other authorized AD&D sources. In the sections, COMMON TO DROW and DROW TO COMMON, these words are displayed in ALL CAPS. The remaining Drow words and phrases have been compiled, developed, and amended to this dictionary by the Temple of Lloth ("TOL") and the city of Velkyn-Tirith ("CVT"). This dictionary may be distributed through licensed TSR sites and used in connection with any AD&D role-playing activity. However, both TOL & CVT request that no alterations or additions be made to this dictionary without consulting either Legora (Legora@aol.com) or Mavralyn (msmart@azstarnet.com). 
This dictionary has been compiled and prepared for in dealing with other races and as a guide for other races in the proper dealings with the Drow. To facilitate such use, the majority of this Dictionary has been translated into Common. Any Drow allowed contact with other races should have received training in proper conduct elsewhere, thus no effort has been made to supplement such training here. Non-Drow are advised to pay heed to these Usage Notes. Many Drow societies welcome mutually profitable or pleasurable dealings with other races or societies. However, the Drow are a justly proud people and are quick to take offense, often fatal offense, at what they perceive to be insults or breaches of etiquette.

You have been warned.

II.  Grammar
a.  Pluralization
Withstanding irregular forms, a plural is completed by en if it ends in a consonant or n if it ends in a vowel. 

Singular			Plural
Jabbress			Jabbressen
(Mistress}			(Mistresses)

Velve				Velven
{Blade}			(Blades)

b.  Possessive Case
Coincidentally, the possessive case in the Drow language is very similar to the Common Tongue used by most races. The possessive case is completed with 's except if the word ends in "s" where upon just an apostrophe ( ' ) is added.

Sarn lil velg'larn's inthen
{Beware the assassin's schemes}

Nindil zhah lil Ilharess' elgluth
{That is the Matron's whip} 

c.  Verbs
A verb has different forms depending on its number (singular or plural); person (first, second, third); voice (active, passive); tense (present, past, future, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect); and mood (indicative, imperative, subjunctive). 

Number: Withstanding irregular verbs, the plural form is completed with er.

Singular			Plural
Lil sargtlin elgg		Lil sargtlinen elgger
{The warrior kills}	{The warriors kill}

Uss jaluk el		Draa jaluken eler
{One male dies}		{Two males die}

Person: Verbs usually have a different form only in the third person singular of the present tense. Withstanding irregular verbs, the third person singular of the present tense is completed with e.

Usstan belbau		Dos belbau		Uk belbaue
{I give}		{You give}		{He gives}

Usstan luth		Dos luth		Il luthe
{I cast}		{You cast}		{She casts}

Voice: A passive verb is a combination of a "be" verb and a past participle.

Active:
L'Yathrin harventhe ukt karliik
{The Yathrin severs his head}

Passive:
Ukt karliik zhahus harventhus a'lil Yathrin
{His head was severed by the Yathrin}

Tense: Withstanding irregular verbs, the past tense is completed with uz.

Active Voice			Passive Voice
Present Tense		Uk phlithe			Uk zhah phlithuz
{He hates}			{He is hated}

Past Tense		Usstan phlithuz		Usstan zhahus phlithuz
			{I hated}			{I was hated}

 Future Tense		Dos orn phlith			Dos orn tlu phlithuz

 Present Tense	Dos inbal phlithuz		Dos inbal tlus phlithuz
 			{You have hated}		{You have been hated}

Past Tense		Il inbalus phlithuz		Il inbalus tlus phlithuz
  			{She had hated}		{She had been hated}

 Future Tense		Usstan zhal inbal phlithuz	Usstan zhal inbal tlus phlithuz
 			{I shall have hated}		{I shall have been hated}

Mood: The mood of the verb indicates the tone in which the statement is made. The common "-ing" ending found in many verbs of the indicative mood is completed with "-in". There are no other endings for the imperative or subjunctive moods.

Indicative:
Udos phuul raldarin l'waess da'fol rivvin.
{We are stripping the skin from some humans} 

d. Adjectives
Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with ur while the superlative is completed with url. The common "-ful" suffix for many adjectives is indicated by urn.

Positive	Comparative		Superlative
Olath		Olathur		Olathurl
{Dark}		{Darker}		{Darkest}

Ssin'urn	Mzild ssin'urn		Mzilst ssin'urn
{Beautiful}	{More beautiful}	{Most beautiful}

e. Adverbs
Adverbs, like adjectives, have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. Withstanding irregular forms, the comparative form is completed with ur while the superlative is completed with url. The common "-ly" suffix for many adverbs is indicated by ne (or e if ending in "n").

Positive	Comparative		Superlative
 Al		Alur			Alurl
{Well}		{Better}		{Best}
