Orcish Primer
Here are a few of the more common Orcishphrases. Orcish is a coarser language than Common,and many words lack the subtlety of Common.
Orcs rely on context, repetition and volume to addemphasis or meaning.
• “Aka’magosh.” = “A blessing on you and yours.”
• “Dabu.” = “I obey.”
• “Gol’kosh!” = “By my axe!”
• “Kagh!” = “Run!”
• “Lok-Narash!” = “Arm yourselves!”
• “Lok-Tar!” = “Victory!” (A war cry. Also agreeting while in combat.)
• “Lok-Tar Ogar!” = “Victory or death!” (A war cry.)
• “Swobu.” = “As you command.”
• “Throm-Ka.” = “Well met.” (A greeting.)
• “Zug-zug.” = Acknowledgement and agreement; roughly the equivalent of “okay.”

Mok’nathal
I can’t discuss ogres without mentioning their kin, the half-ogres. Orcs today respect the massive creatures,naming them mok’nathal, which I believe translates to “The Sons of Nath,” who I hear is an ogre war god. It is an honorable title. For a while everyone though half-ogres were extinct, and I had never heard of them before tales of Rexxar circulated. I was pleasantly surprised by what he had to say of his race.
No one really knows how it happened, but some orcs a while back would get a little frisky and decide that ogres weren’t that ugly after all. Probably after drinking five gallons of ale. Their offspring showed the intelligence of orcs but the strength of ogres. Orcs realized how useful these creatures would be, and bred more. However, like their ogre parents, mok’nathal were too darn stubborn, and after awhile the breeding stopped. Half-ogres crossed into Azeroth with several ogre clans during the First War and disappeared into the wilderness, preferring to be left alone. “Wild” doesn’t begin to describe these guys, who believe that tree-living critters are more interesting than we are. They don’t hate other races; they just want to live their own lives, by themselves.
Apparently some orcs still get drunk today, as after Rexxar’s exploits, half-ogres appear again. Following their hero’s ways, they joined the Horde, telling the orcs to call upon the mok’nathal should Thrall ever need them.
Perhaps, with the Stonemauls rejoining the Horde, we’ll see a rise in their ranks. As of right now, though, only a handful, probably no more than a hundred or two, still exist in the world. Rexxar believes that his people can make a comeback, and I don’t doubt him. Half-ogres are the ultimate survivalists, and I doubt they’ll ever completely die out. Not while orcs and ogres share barrels of ale, anyhow. |
