I remember reading somewhere on these forums that it may mean "invader". Which would explain why native Dunmer call the Imperials n'wah.

I read somewhere that its just generall abusive language. Like something that is elvish that the dumner still use instead of using enligsh words. After all, it your gonna insult someone, do it in your own language.

N'Wah... I think I heard the deffinition before (that'd be funny if it did mean "You douche bag!", though!)...

Here's where it was!

Meaning: Foreigner or Slave - An insult/taunt. (tmx got it)
Origin: Dunmeri
Usage: ''You N'wah!'' and ''Drive the n'wah from Morrowind''
Source: People of Morrowind
Reliable: Yes

I always thought it was like being called a "Cracker" or somkind of similar racist slur, after all it is an "N " word

Hi there Apoxc... please read our rules on thread necromancy (and everything else too). Thanks. ^^ The last post in this thread was many months ago and your post doesn't really add anything, so...
