[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="mudshark"]It sure [iost_uid0]looks[/iost_uid0] like it ought to be Dutch. If not, what is it really?[/quoteost_uid0]
Supposedly, it's dialect. I still don't buy it though. :eyeroll:

[quoteost_uid0="mudshark"]Edit: BabelFish thinks it's Dutch, too; most of the pages on which the word appears have the .nl coding; one of them even shows you all the ways to conjugate it ... in Dutch.[/quoteost_uid0]
Oh, it's Dutch alright. It just means something else. See, as it turns out, that word has many meanings, one of which I haven't even heard of before. But "to depart" is not one of them. :eyeroll:

[quoteost_uid0="Nan"]No word for evil? But it's the fun alignment![/quoteost_uid0]
...And that's why we just call it "evil".

Of course, we don't translate "good" either... :eyeroll:

And I don't like it if someone says he's a "barbaar". Generally, we just don't translate anything dnd.[/colorost_uid0]
