A Lesson in Dragonspeak

Oh, and also looking forward to whether or not mor and dhona are conspicuously absent...

Given what we know now and what we know of Mor Dhona, it could be a bastardization like Mourn. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it was a corrupted form of "mor[n] doh a[n]," roughly translating into "I, who has forgotten death." This would be alluding to the immortality of Midgardsormr who resided there.

Of course, I'm really grasping here.

I'm more incline to think it is referencing the significance of Mor Dhona as (apparently) the wellspring of Hydaelyns aether, it is a location which discards death by bringing forth life.

Yes, I could see that approach working, if we take Silvertear Lake as Eorzea's more or less literal "cradle of life" (as in the place where aether concentrates/surges forth). I haven't tried my hand at the dictionary yet, but I guess we might end up getting interesting results for some concepts such as the Lifestream.

Again, thanks a bunch Ferne!... You've certainly made this Paladin happy.
