Talk:Elder Speech/@comment-46.182.153.181-20170130103611

I'm italian and while reading the books I couldn't help but to think that Elder Speech has some words which are closely related to my language - mostly in its southern dialects. Many of them aren't listed in this page; I'll post them in this comment.

spar, aespar, spar’le - to shoot, shoot him - “sparare”, “spara”, “sparagli”

dearme - good night - “dormi” which literally means "sleep" imperative

dice - to speak - “dire”, “dici” (mostly used in southern italy)

d’yaebl - devil - “diavolo” (even better “diablo” in spanish)

ess - to be - “essere”

foilé - mad - “folle”

invaerne - winter - “inverno”

mire - look - “mira” in spanish, which is also used in some dialects of southern italy

muire - sea - “mare”

naev’de - nine - “nove di” (nine of) as spoken in some southern dialects

que - that - “che”

scoia’tael - squirrel(s) - “scoiattolo”, "scoiattoli"

straede - road - “strada”

tìr - land, ground - “terra” which in some southern dialects is spoken in a similar way to "tir"

va - go - “và”, “vai”

veloë - fast, quick - “veloce”

Some other words which are listed as similar to Welsh are also similar to italian, so probably they have a common root of some kind - dunno, not an expert.
