This is what ive got so far, Keep in mind, im still working on it, But this is the majrity of the basics, i may have left something out.
Astheric Language- Basics.
"Bah"
-A confused snort, often made by Astheric wolves in times of outrage, surprise, or even confusion.
"Nei"
- A singular word meaning question, questioning, and the five questions, -what, who, when, where and
how. It is quite a confusing term when translating and understanding, but the tone of this multi-meaning
word dictates what meaning it has taken.
"Fem'me'"
-A easy to understand portion of Astheric, Meaning Female.
Linked to the word "Femat" Meaning a rellationship, or mating between Astheric wolves. Because of the
nature of Astheric Sencitive woo'ing, it is considered that Mating is a Feminine act. Usually leading to
Female Dominancy In Astheric matings.
"Murr"
-meaning canine or wolf, when used in a singular term (On its own) it means ordinary wolf, as a plural
it is represinted by "Murr'a" meaning more than one wolf.
"Dach Murr"
- a simple and widely used terminology for Demon wolf in Astheric, Dach Meaning demon or in some cases
Angel, and Muur Meaning Canine, or wolf. This terminology can be applied to many races, as the Astheric
variant of Demon/Angel, not only means saviour and/or vindicator, but unusual, anything "Dach" means out
of the ordinary, hence the terminology of "Dach Murr" can be interpreted also as unusual wolf, and
sometimes is used in Astheric culture and word usage.
"Amou're Dach"
-The single terminology in Astheric for Dakkan, "Armoure" Meaning armour, or protection, and Dach
meaning once more,Demon/Angel/Unusual.
"Beff"
-A connective of words when needed, the Astheric variation for 'The' but is rarely used as Astheric
language is harsh and to the point, unless a sentence is very long but in Astheric it also indicates a
break to pause or breathe.
"Ka"
-Meaning in, Or inside.
"Vaga"
-Meaning with, or in the presence of. This strange word is actualy linked to vision, Via the word
"Vagun'" Meaning to see. Astheric is strange, instead of saying "I am with my cat." you would be saying,
"I see you're cat." Meaning to be in close proximity "with the cat" in order to see it.
"Alif'"
-An easy to understand term, Meaning alive, Related to the word "Alif'vur" meaning Living.
"Kraga"
-A form of greeting, meaning hello, or welcome. Another version of this term is "Vaga Kraga!" a playful
term meaning "Hello! I see you!" in Native Astheric to a small cub or youngling, as if playing Hide and
seek.
"Madeh"
-Meaning male, Linked to the Terminology of "Madu'n"
"Madu'n"
-Meaning Second best- Linked to "Madeh", Yet again Masculine wolves come second best to Female ones, as
Females are respected in cultue, being the mothers and bearers of life. This term means second best in
the sence of a "Women and children first!" Basis. Hence why in warfare on an Astheric front, it is rare
to see any female wolves taking roles in battles, as Asthera would frown upon putting them at risk.
However male wolves are also respected in society as they are seen as protectors of women and children,
even sacrificial doings in some cases, in order to not only protect, but to impress the one they are
protecting. Allthough harsh in interpretation, 'second best' when used among Astheric wolves is not a
sign of bigheadedness, but infact a resectful way of adressing those of a lower rank/role. In Astheric
reality, there is no second best, as every role has a purpose in an Astheric pack.
"Du'hf"
Meaning Goodbye, or until next time we meet. Linked to "Du'hfa'n"
"Du'hFa'n"
-Meaning departing when in the eyes of a foe, a way of showing dispicion, and confirming an oath that
when the pair next meet, it will not be on the good graces with the wolf saying it.
"du'Sakun"
-To die, Linked with The goodbye phrases, as In Astheric culture, death isnt the end, only a temporary
departing from this realm. Asthera beleives strongly in re-incarnation, and thus is reflected in the
efforts of Dakkanism.
"Du'naysh."
-Linked with the Du' words, allthough instead of saying goodbye, the terminology actualy means bleeding,
This phrase litterally translates as "Blood departing/Leaving" instead of the term "Bleeding."
"Ko"
-Meaning yes, or confrimation.
"Duta"
-Meaning no, or Denial, a phrase not only meaning "no" But can also be interpreted as a form of denial.
"bi'h" Meaning sorry, linked with "Bi'h Dann'e" -An apoligetic term when the person apoligising realises
they are in the wrong, Literally translating to "I am sorry, i have yet to be punished" Can also be used
in the phrase "Bi'h Duta" An apoligetic form of denial, meaning "I am sorry, but no".
"Ko 'Tuch' "
-Meaning yes sir or alpha, indicating that the person they are adressing is better than them, often used
as apreciation of a higher rank, but more commonly said as sarcasm when instructed to do something by
another wolf.
"Squar"
-Meaning to bite or talk(Use of the mouth), Because of this terminology, it is hard to say "Dont eat
with your mouth full" Interestingly enough, because of this language barrier, eating with you're mouth
full is socially acceptable within Asthera as no-one can realy tell you off for doing so!
"Sqai'en" To roar or scream. this word generally relates to agony, or the thought of causing it.
"Dann'e"
-A harsh word meaning one who will be/ is yet to be punished, Or one who as wronged. Broken down in
lemans terms, it means misdoer or evil, Astheric wolves beleive strongly in a variation of Karma.
"No'kh"
-Pronounced "Nork" Meaning to sleep, Linked to the word "Nyak", also Death is seen as a form of
sleeping.
"Fask" An astheric word, related to "No'kh" Meaning to awake, This word is also linked to birth,
interestingly, they do not say Born, Astheric wolves would infact be saying "First awoken".
"Nyak"
- Meaning night, linked to the Astheric word of sleep, as by indication, Astheric wolves are not
Nocturnal. Interestingly enough, "Nyak" or any variation isnt used as a goodbye phrase, since By saying
"Du'nyak" they would be uttering "Goodbye night" However this rule is broken by the exception "Du'
Naka'm" translated litterally as we will meet at night, but in Astheric culture, is interpreted as "We
will meet tonight", or in some cases "Du Vagun Naka'm" Meaning "I will see you tonight."
"Sah'fa"
-Meaning me, or myself, Interestingly enough ther are no words for 'you' in Astheric as wolves tend to
address others by gender, name or rank.
"Stut"
-a multi used word, meaning 'thing', can also be used in the sence of everything, or anything.
"Dun'z" a simple word meaning Now, This can be interpreted as present tense, or a way of saying
immediately.
"De'Stak" An astheric noun conveying challenge.
"Den'Stak" An Astheric alteration of "De'stak" Meaning to rise to a challenge, or tackle a problem head
on.
"Kais" A generally brutal word, meaning to maim and kill, with any means Necessary.
"Ban'de" Astheric terminology, meaning smart, or in some cases, sly.
"Ban'duin" Related to "Ban'de" meaning a cunning plan, or to plot.
"Kask'e" To deceive, or lie.
Astheric Numbers.
"Un'z" -One
"Don'z" -Two
"Quais" -Three
"Shtees" -Four
"Stant'e" -Five
"Ba'sun" -Six
"Kah'lum" -seven
"Kahstu'hm" -Eight
"Ka'noh'k " -Nine
Astheric numeric's are intregueing. Instead of saying ten, they would say "Un'z-bel" Bel is a word
meaning "In tens" as another example ninety, would be "Ka'Noh'k Bel" Meaning Nine tens, I.E ninety.
Hundreds also work in a similar process, yet the word meaning "In hundreds" is "St'un" In astheric, if i
were to say te number 193, i would be saying "Un'z-st'un beff Ka'noh'k-bel Quais" Translated literally
as - "one in hundreds, nine in tens, and three." Notice the use of "Beff" the connective also used to
breathe between long numbers.
Astheric Phrases, or terminology in which the above are generally used:
"Duta Beff Dann'e Squar Du'Naysh No'kh."
-No, bad one, i'll bite you till you bleed and die.
"Ko 'tuch madu'n, Sah'fa ka beff nei Dach Murr'a"
-Yes sir, who'm i am second best to (a sign of respect). I am inside, questioning the unusual wolves.
"Nei Stut Dach Murr?"
-Any questioning answers/things demon wolf? -Questioning can also mean seeking answers in Astheric,
linked to finding truth.
"Bi'h Duta 'tuch. Duta-stut"

Astheric culture is rich and full of interesting quirks and behaviours, yet the language is dull andharsh, reprisenting their rocky homeland in the mountains. Because of the contrast between language and quirky behaviour, Many Historians beleive the Astheric packs to be compensating via their nature and behaviour for their dull Language.
