More Dragons

[ami_ven]

It's been a while since I posted any dragons... I've been trying to get at least one egg of each different kind, but it's getting harder *g*

Here are the ones that have grown up, hatched or been added to my scroll since my last post:

clicked the eggs.
These are lovely names!

So very pretty.

New eggs duly clicked, of course.

I keep meaning to ask you. Your names, do you have a particular website or book you use to know these different meanings, or are you multi-lingual? If website or book would you mind sharing the details, please?

[ami_ven]

Oh, I am so not multi-lingual *g* I took Latin in school, and that's really not useful. Actually, I have a bunch of books I use (I collect random 'reference' books that I think might come in handy some day). I have an English-Latin dictionary from school; two English-Japanese dictionaries; mini/pocket dictionaries in German, Italian and American Sign Language; Frommer's phrasebooks/culture guides for Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French and German; Lonely Planet phrasebooks for Mandarin Chinese, Hebrew, Middle East (several different forms of Arabic), India (again, several different languages) and Scandanavian (same deal); and an English-French dictionary that was my dad's from high school. The Welsh dictionary I borrowed from the library.

*g* I'm sure there's an easier way to look that stuff up, but I like the books.

*Waves to fellow random reference books collector* Interestingly enough, my own vast collection of such books are lacking in that kind of dictionary. Methinks it's time I remedied it *g*

There are some very good name sites on the web I use, but I just really love the way you have so many different languages. I can feel a visit to Amazon coming on (except we are meant to be getting rid of some books at the moment).

Thank you for the information.

They look all grown up! How time flies!

[cyad]

aww... cuties! And I love how you picked their names. And I didn't know you were a polyglott, that rocks! :)

Just... *whispers* in french "horn knight" would translate by "Chevalier corne". Yeah, we do it the other way around much of languages by putting noun before qualifier. *ahem*

OMGibbs! You have a pigmy and a sky serpent! *iz jealous* seems I never spot those.

*will get another shot of coffee before turning into babble brook on you*

[ami_ven]

*coughs* I'm not a polyglott, I just have a sizable collection of foreign-to-English dictionaries.

And these are so gramatically incorrect! The Latin words aren't declined at all, and I wouldn't even know where to start in any other language.

I've been trying to collect one of each dragon type, to figure out which I like best:)

Ooh, more coffee sounds good...

[cyad]

oh, my mistake. I have that sort of collection as well.

From your POV but, for us, it's for us, it's french grammar book 101. I guess every languages has their own proper inner codes and that's what I love about them. :)

Oh, Well, I'm a newbie in the dragon cave so... I still hope to find a Pigmy and maybe winter egg but... Hope you'll collect them all. :)

More coffee is always good, especially italian expresso! :)
