This thread sounds very interesting, but in my opinion the dwarven language (Is it called Dwarven?) lacks on naturality. There is no (visible) relationship between words with similiar meaning, like e.g.
Control: egul
Controller: tesum
You can see this for a lot of other words. I dont know how the language was created, but for me it seems, that it is mostly random with basic rules about vowels and consonants.
So maybe some words should be substituted words, which have similiar bases to the corresponing nouns/adjectives etc. This would lead to language, which is a lot smoother.
What do you think? And I would be really interested to know, how the original language was exactly created, if anyone knows. The wiki does not mention this.

? I remember, that I made some obscure constructions last version to get two adjacent doors.
