Pluton, in his "Abecedarion Barbarico Poplo",
renders it as "Let me be to them [my sons] an
ever inspiring ever guiding bright light" and is
the last phrase of the 'Mothers Prayer', a
meditation used by women of the Westmarche. I'd
have to rummage about to see how all the words
break down.
It is the Old Language, used only for certain
rituals and some meditations like this. The Daine
of Westmarche habitually speak a variety of
Ozmandish, which looks suspiciously like Middle
English. Daine in general speak some form of
Elvish as a daily language. The Old Languages
haven't been spoken as living languages by most
Daine in the North for many ages.
Padraic.
