Word of the Day
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Tiurlang (proper noun) – The underground city or region where the Ungol live; a network of underground villages where the Ungol create and live and guard the prophets and the prophecies they dictate; in the Ungol language, it means "at peace with beauty"

Etymology: Same story as yesterday's word, the fantasy author, Sandy Lender, created this word so long ago that she doesn't remember how she came up with it.

Word in a Sentence (from the high fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods, page 133): There was only one reason anyone went to Tiurlang—to read the prophecies guarded there.

Your turn! Got any traveling sentences in you?

"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."
