So, how and where does one go about coining Orcish words...?

I'm eligible for 3, but can't find any info.

Thanks...and good luck to you! :D

Hi Tim,

Reposting the info on how to submit :

1) Choose a word that you want. It can be a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb.
2) Decide who or what you want that word named after (the subject).
3) Send that information to Orcish.JQ@gmail.com


If the word you want is available [BTW -- unavailable words], Matt will take your subject, adjust it so it fits Orcish spelling and syntax, and then send it back to you for approval. If you approve, that word and its meaning will officially enter the Orcish language, and will be part of the Orcish/English dictionary!

Example: Strick Strickland (not a real person) wants to name “to audit” after his favorite accountant, Throckmorton. Matt takes the subject (“Throckmorton”), adjusts it to fit Orcish and comes up with throkkmorta. Strick approves. His word becomes an official part of the Orcish language, and is attributed to him in the Orcish/English dictionary.


Words are first come, first serve. We will not coin words that insult any group or organization. There is no guarantee that a word you coin will be used in the season; however, the more common the word, the more likely it is to be used.

It's always a good feeling when that email comes through from Matt saying how much he appreciates the suggestion and then he tells you his translation.

A warm fuzzy feeling is guaranteed.
