This means Ruler in Arabic. I just realized something. I could spell the names in Ylaruam in actual Arabic letters. Some words though look more like Persian, such as Parsa and Mikistan. I also know some Teharani Farsi, so I could spell those in Persian script (which is essentially Arabic script with some additions and modifications). Makistan would mean something like "the state of Maki". They might refer to Ylaruam, probably as Ylaristan. The town Parsa, is a name used for RL historical city of Persepolis. The word Farsi, was originally Parsi, but true-Arabic script doesn't have an "F", so Farsi was a close approximation. At least this is what I recall from a lesson in my Persian class. I wonder where Ylaruam comes from? This doesn't sound Arabic. Maybe Yalaruam is an Alphatian language adaptation of Ylari... ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:29:33 +0100 From: Havard Faanes Subject: Pandius 15 Year Anniversary http://blackmoormystara.blogspot.com/2011/06/vaults-of-pandius-15-year-anni= versary.html=0A=0A=0A=0A15 years ago, in June 1996, Shawn Stanley set up th= e Vaults of Pandius. :)=0A=0AIts been a while, but those have been some gre= at years! :)=0A=0A=0A-Havard=0A ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:32:48 +0100 From: Havard Faanes Subject: Vedr: [MYSTARA] Meaning of Mystara in Arabic & Ylaruam I like the Mistara bit!
