This page, when complete, will be a reference of all the ultra-obscure words in the books of The Wheel of Time. Not just words of the Old Tongue, but also Aiel terms (which, I suspect, are derived from the Old Tongue anyway), the few Trolloc words we know, and anything else I come across.
Note 1: Parenthetical defenitions are given for those words which have no direct translation. For words with translations, only that translation is given.
Note 2: Aiel terms will be included within the Old Tongue listing, but will be noted as Aiel terms if used exclusively as such. The same goes for Seanchan terms, also derived from the Old Tongue.
Note 3: Some terms listed are not explicitly defined, but derived from usage in phrases. For example, "Caldazar", the Red Eagle of Manetheren, and "Far Aldazar Din", the Brothers of the Eagle, lead to 'dazar' meaning 'eagle'.
