    Hi Steven,

    Never thought anyone would want my master list. For now, I have copied the sorted portion to a Google Doc Candlekeep-Realmstalk. It is missing about 40 entries (recently posted entries and entries that contain edits that I still need to make to this forum thread), but I should have it up to date with my master list after I post my next update. It is up to date as of this edit.

    Let me know if something is not working with the Google Doc.

    — George Krashos

    The FR wiki says it best: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Peril_in_Pinebrook?so=search

    I recently picked it up and was pleased to see that it's free and that the Draconic appendix matches (for the most part) other products like Draconomicon. I don't own the latter though so couldn't use it as a corroborative citation (used the FR wiki "Draconic dictionary" to cross-check that Pinebrook isn't the only reference).

    Do you see any glaring contradictions to what's in your Draconic lexicon?

    Hey George,

    Thanks for the catch. A copy-waste error from elsewhere in my list carried over to all 145 words. It's actually Dragon #279 (so corrected now).

    For the superseded words, I currently have them as the following example:
  • “chas” – Elvish:- (adjective: colour) green (Dragon Magazine #279)

  • “sy” – Elvish:- same as “chas” (Ed Greenwood on Twitter - June 25, 2021)

    • I don't really want the superseded Dragon words simply excluded from this list (as that may lead to "Hey there're some words in Dragon #279 you should add scribe Kyrene"). Perhaps I should list them the other way around:
  • “chas” – Elvish:- (deprecated) superseded by “sy” (Dragon Magazine #279)

  • “sy” – Elvish:- (adjective: colour) green (Ed Greenwood on Twitter - June 25, 2021)


    • Of course, you could let me have a peek at the master lexicon(s) you and your partner in crime keep updated, to see how you guys do it...
