Auran
Last wiki revision 2023-08-11
Auran is a language spoken by air elementals hailing from Skywall. It is also known by conglomerates with the sub-type of air. It is perhaps a dialect of Kalimag.
Auran is derived from the word αὔρα (Anc. Greek for 'breath of wind','breeze'). It's the same word that passed into Latin as aura and via Latin into English, albeit with a different meaning. The term was coined by Galen to refer to an epileptic seizure. Its first usage can be found most conveniently in Kuhn's side-by-side translation into Latin.
- "Auran" has an apparent connection to DnD derived generic languages which apparently can be found in DnD rule books.
