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.
