Here is what I'd think to be the final copy. Words found in The Imperial Library Translation Dictionary, Interview with Book Sellers, and the Azhirr Tralalal-something.
I'll alphabetize it and I think that'll be it, unless a miraculous breakthrough in Ta'Agra occurs.
Quote:The Imperial Ta'Agra Dictionary
By Phillus Adalla
Welcome to Elsweyr. Dealing with people can be difficult, if you cannot understand what they say. Even though they are part of the glorious Empire, some Khajiit are insistent on using their native tongue, Ta?Agra, I have devised this helpful dictionary to help you understand the beast-folk. The Elsweyr Confederacy is young, henceforth some of their language remains unknown.
