    Sarna Kontakawk (The Warriors’ Chant) is another longer example of the Carpathian language. The warriors’ council takes place deep beneath the earth in a chamber of crystals with magma far below that, so the steam is natural and the wisdom of their ancestors is clear and focused. This is a sacred place where they bloodswear to their prince and people and affirm their code of honor as warriors and brothers. It is also where battle strategies are born and all dissension is discussed as well as any concerns the warriors have that they wish to bring to the Council and open for discussion.
     
    Sarna Kontakawk (The Warriors’ Chant)
     
    Veri isäakank—veri ekäakank.
Blood of our fathers—blood of our brothers.
     
    Veri olen elid.
Blood is life.
     
    Andak veri-elidet Karpatiiakank, és wäke-sarna ku meke arwa-arvo,
irgalom, hän ku agba, és wäke kutni, ku manaak verival.
We offer that life to our people with a bloodsworn vow of honor, mercy,
integrity and endurance.
     
    Verink sokta; verink kaŋa terád.
Our blood mingles and calls to you.
     
    Akasz énak ku kaŋa és juttasz kuntatak it.
Heed our summons and join with us now.

    4. A MUCH-ABRIDGED CARPATHIAN DICTIONARY
    This very much abridged Carpathian dictionary contains most of the Carpathian words used in these Dark books. Of course, a full Carpathian dictionary would be as large as the usual dictionary for an entire language (typically more than a hundred thousand words).
