Auran is a language spoken by air elementals hailing from Skywall. It is also known by conglomerates with the sub-type of air.[1] It is perhaps a dialect of Kalimag.
Etymology[]
Auran is derived from the word αὔρα (Anc. Greek for 'breath of wind','breeze'). It's the same word that passed into Latin as aura and via Latin into English, albeit with a different meaning. The term was coined by Galen to refer to an epileptic seizure. Its first usage can be found most conveniently in Kuhn's side-by-side translation into Latin.[2]
Trivia[]
- "Auran" has an apparent connection to DnD derived generic languages which apparently can be found in DnD rule books.
