DRISH FETTS, DRISH FETTS, LORGON TRITTS....

...... damn. fireball didn't work.

anyways, it sounds vaguely babylonian to me. think about some of their names:
Nebu-chad-nezzar (remember to hack a lugi on the 'ch').
maybe persian? just my couple of random guesses

Tracy Hickman spent some time as a missionary in Indonesia, and thought some of the local languages were so interesting and different that they would work as inspiration for magic.

Neraka is an Indonesian word, for instance, which translates to "hell."
