CTHUVIAN
/ ENGLISH
DICTIONARY
The works of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft and his proteges, collectively known as
the "Cthulhu Mythos," often contain fragments of an alien language. HPL himself
never gave this language a name, but fan consensus has settled on "Cthuvian."
HPL also provided translations of several fragments. Intrigued, I set out to learn
more about Cthuvian, woefully unprepared for the sanity-blasting ordeal I faced.
Fortune smiled, however, and the small lexicon below is the fruit of my efforts.
For more information about the Mythos, please visit the newsgroup
alt.horror.cthulhu, or search for "Cthulhu Mythos" on the Web. You'll find more and
better information than I can provide here.
A Note about Grammar: Unlike Earthly languages, Cthuvian makes no
between nouns, verbs, adjectives, and other parts of speech. Pronouns may
appear. Verbs have only two tenses: present and not-present, since
experience time in a non-linear fashion. Taken out of context, any
translation is nothing more than guesswork.
