"We seek the longest, most hard-hided and sharp-toothed rormasu in Shadowfen today," Footfalls-in-Snow remarked with a giddy clicking to his voice. After I asked, he explained rormasu (and I write this spelling without qualification as a scholar of language) means "big-mouthed reptile that blinks above water," or in the vastly more common tongue, "crocodile." "We sometimes refer to them as 'marsh dunerippers,'" offered Namasur. Footfalls-in-Snow had drowned a marsh crocodile using only bare hands and bravery.
