Also, English speakers borrowed a word from dwarves in your con world? That’s some crazy world building🥰 and I mean that in a good way. Tell me more. I’m curious how that plays out
That’s really neat! So is this a regular sound change in dwarvish? Like would thier word for “hot” be “huut?” It’s be easy to expand, e.g. stúne—>stone; rúke—>rock; ix—>axe. The pattern I’m using is vowel raising. If a vowel in English is pronounced in the middle of the mouth,raise the tongue to the roof for the dwarvish

I came up with a language for dwarves. One of the words is 'guld' which was then later adopted into English as 'gold'.
