Orc (Language)

Greetings
Err’ret  = Good Day. The saying ‘Good Day’ is not normally used by orcs, for they prefer to say, ‘ret’ which means day. Since Orc is by default negative, it really means ‘bad day’. So that I don’t have to say ‘bad day’ or ‘bad this’ or ‘bad that’, I will use a ∘ before the word.

Err'
Err' is the prefix used to make a word positive. Prefixes in Orc use a apostrophe before the word it’s linking to. There are only two prefixes in Orc, d’ which I will explain later, and Err’ which makes it a positive word. A word used often in Orc is mataa, ∘battle or ∘fight. Err’mataa, therefore means Win, or Good Battle.

‘D
‘D is probibally the most complex thing in Orc. It is similar to ‘the’ in English, but not entirely the same. d’Orch means ‘the orcs’ or ‘us’ or ‘we’. Whereas d’mataa means War, not the battle. This happens when a noun is made up of many other, or another noun, such as water is err’řuz, and lake is d’err’ řuz. Tree is merku, and forest is d’merku.

Grammar
The sentence “We will win this ∘forest battle!” in Orc is “d’Orch d’err’mataa d’merku d’va!” not “d’Orch d’err’mataa merku d’va!” which would mean “We will win this ∘tree battle!”

d’Orc = We

d’Err’mataa = Win this

d’Merku = ∘Forest

d’Va = ∘Fight

Lit. We win this ∘forest fight

We            win this       forest          fight

d’Orc        d’err’mataa   d’merku     d’va

Tense
Tense does not really come into Orc except for past tense. It is identified by a suffix ax. It can be seen in the word Chanaxax, which literally means “Was leader”. To make the sentence ‘we will win this ∘forest battle’ mean ‘we have won this ∘forest battle’ you add ax onto the end of the predicate d’err’mataa, making it d’err’mataaax, hence “d’Orch d’err’mataaax d’merku d’va!”
