The Dovah, or dragons as they are more commonly known, have a simple rule when it comes to names.

Every Dovah's name is actually three words in the Dovah language. Furthermore, they always consist of three syllables. No more. No less.

Remember this rule, and you will find it very easy to pronounce the names of the dragons.

To give a famous example, Alduin's name is actually made from the three Dovah words "al du in", which roughly translates into "Destroyer Devour Master".

All Dovah names follow this naming convention.

    Sadly it looks like it’s not being supported anymore. I grabbed it from an old bookmark, i used it for naming parts of our storage array back when I was playing Skyrim a lot, but it’s not returning translations for these words.

    I was wrong, it works but requires the dovahzhul words to be separated.

    Bahlokdaan = wrath sky doom
    Kaalgrontiid = champion bind time
    Yolnahkriin = fire fury slay
    Mulaamnir = strong serve hunt
