There's a downloadable D'ni dictionary here: http://www.ipde.cjb.net/

Hope this helps.

thanks for your help Dot, unfortunately, the words I'm looking for just don't seem to exist. I have a hard time accepting we don't know the D'ni word for Page :P

Yes, as far as I know none of these words has a known (to us) translation into d'ni. Are you trying to make a particular sentence? If so, there might be a way to rephrase it in terms of concepts that we know how to convert into d'ni.

PAGE....hmmm..... let's see... a simple word like 'page' should work within the creation of an age that works when even the Bahro could make ... well......... a 'page'...Maybe we are looking too deep into the meaning of that word :geek:
