Draenic Lexicon:

Common Verbs:

Verbs are special in the draenei language in the way that they never change – only the suffix changes at all. The base form of all verbs is A’, such as A’chako, which means ‘To drink’. Apostrophes are incredibly important in draenei language. The suffixes for the rest of the prounouns follow:

Eros - Male/He.

Eras - Female/She.

Ein - I.

E'dos - You.

Kiel - It.

Atos - You (Plural)

Ietos - We (Pronounced Ay-tohs)

A'chako - To drink.

A'deit - To see.

A'dota - To give.

A'echoun - To loose.

A'chal - To have/gain

A'eidthi - To disgust, or to be disgusted. Eidthi is simply a disgusting thing.

A'katavaro - To eat, consume, goggle up, etc.

A'kiel - To do.

A’mili – To talk, to say, to chat.

A’tala – To trouble.

A’thuma – To please.

Classes:

Akata'eros/eras - Male/Female Rogue.

Apsid'eros/era - Male/Female Death Knight (Actually translates to 'animated')

Shalti'eros/eras - Male/Female Paladin. Also Eiatro, Eiostra. Epolto means vindicator, Eiatro means mender, and Eiostra means protector. Draenei have a large focus around paladins.

Kalon'eros/eras - Male/female warlock.

Kyni'eros/eras - Male/female hunter.

Paraxen'eros/eras - Male/female magic user (mage). Colloquially, a 'paraxen' is a magic user with good intent, and a 'kalon' is a magic user with evil intent. A warlock could be a paraxen, and a mage could be a kalon.

Polemi'eros/eras - Male/female warrior.

Peithra'eros/eras - Male/female monk.

Opado/Ieila - Priest/priestess. Draenei have their own titles for priests - this translates to 'anchorite' in common.

Zomeno'eros/eras - Finally, shaman. Zomeno means 'user', used in a derogatory manner like the english 'tool'. The correct, honorable title for shaman would be a paraxen or polemi, given their specialization.

Races:

Vrachei – The humans (ambitious ones).

Dastrei - The dwarves (shaggy ones).

Draenei – The exiled ones.

Kotikei – Elves (general use). Kaldorei, night elves. Queldorei, high elves. And so on…

Mikrei – Gnomes (short ones).

Evkanei – Worgen (wild ones).

I would like to note that there is no word for ‘pandaren’. It is simply ‘Pandaren’.

Titles:

Eidthi – A very ugly thing or person.

Ekliein, Ekliedos – My desire, your desire.

Epolani – A foolish person or thing. Also, a foolish notion. (Let’s charge head first into that crowd of angry monsters! Epolani!)

Talaein, Talaedos – My trouble, your trouble.

Thuma’resa – Pleasing to the heart.

Thumein, Thumedos – My pleasure, your pleasure.

Kre'eros - Brother.

Kre'eras - Sister

Greetings:

Antiana – Goodbye.

Antiana kalo korah – Goodbye, dear friend. (Do /bye enough on your female draenei and you’ll hear this)

Archenon Poros – Greeting, usually goodbye. It means ‘May the journey be enough’.

Jeso – Hello.
