Dwarf Etymology - Axeford Dorfish Dictionary
« on: October 25, 2011, 04:50:44 pm »

TEH REVISED VERSION, U KNOW U WANTS TO CLICK IT.

Well this seems a bit ambitious, but I'm going to attempt to compile a list of dwarven words, sayings and phenomenon found in dwarf fortress, and in the bay 12 forums, so that wandering humans can understand just what the plump helmet everyone is saying.
>Suggestions, corrections and Explanations appreciated:3<
*I'll add at least one word with a comeplete description every day (until I have run out of ideas), though any and all contributions (within reason, namesakely SFW stuff) from others will be added ;p

Mechanism:

Warped feature of time and space bound to a piece of stone that resembles the shape of an accented C. These can be bent through ab-sensory dimensions to interact over impossible distances and through any obstacle, forcing the motion of various devices such as a Drawbridge.

Drawbridge:

A bridge made of stone that contains so much Gravitational Potential Energy that  most things underneath it when it is lowered are crushed into oblivion.

DHMO Reactor:

A device which manipulates mechanisms to raise water with excess rotational energy. Used to power millstones.

K-Mine:

A theoretical stationary weapon that contains a high density of kittens. When the kittens are set on fire, a chain reaction occurs, causing a thermonuclear catsplosion, burning to death anything in a large radius. (This weapon is still in R&D stages).

Spoiler troubles, there. Also, add this to Armok:

"The variable that reports number of un-mutilated arms."
