    Really interesting. One thing that stood out to me from the dictionary is the word for dragoon (dra[h]or[h]) using the "non-life" [h]. Is this to distinguish them from the life [n] in dragon (dra[n]), are they not considered "beings", or is this a case of the word in Eorzean being approximated into Dragonspeak?

    Perhaps it is because the function of a Dragoon is to remove life from dragons? They turn dra[n] in to dra[h].

    It may also be out of pettiness. They refuse to acknowledge the loathsome Dragoons as living beings even if, intellectually, they know it to be true.
