Talk:Lament of the Kaldorei

Out of curiosity, do you have a source for your use of "Xaxas" in the Kaldorei version? I've seen absolutely no usage of X or similar sounds anywhere else in Darnassian language fragments, which linguisticly speaking makes it highly aberrant. It seems more in line with the phonetics of Elemental or Demonic fragments seen on the game.

I know jack about WarCraft languages, mind ... I can't even be arsed to remember "hello" in Darnassian, this is just my inner linguist talking. Neat project. :)

Over at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/361.xml :''xaxas elemental fury 	This term has many alternative interpretations, including "chaos" and "catastrophe". When used as a proper noun, Xaxas refers to Deathwing.''

I do agree that it doesn't sound very much like the other sounds of the language, I think that only adds to the harshness, the insulting noise of the letters.

For all we know, the word might have demonic origins! I don't know when this word is supposed to have emerged, but if it came after the Sundering, then the Elves may have adopted it to use against those they hated the most, including Deathwing.
