Old Dwarven

Old Dwarven refers to the language of ancient Dwarves. Despite Common Dwarven being the dominant language of Bormar, several words of ancient tongue are still used today. For example, it is custom for Dwarven settlements and holdings to be named in Old Dwarven, although that is not a hard rule. Additionally, several words have simply continued to be used in daily life, such as molir.
