Quite a number of contributors to Project Aon have reported inconsistencies regarding the use of words such as Drakkar across the series. After much research into the usage of Drakkar/Drakkarim, Nadziran/Nadziranim, and Ligan/Liganim across the books, we have decided to standardise the usage of the words in the following ways, which represent majority usage:

• noun (s.): Drakkar
  
• noun (pl.): Drakkarim
  
• adj: Drakkarim
  

• noun (s.): Nadziran
  
• noun (pl.): Nadziranim
  
• adj: Nadziranim
  

• noun (s.): Ligan
  
• noun (pl.): Liganim
  
• adj: Liganim
  

All of the other words ending in -im either already conform to these rules (i.e. gazim, kuzim, lajakim, rekenarim, Sharnazim, and Tefarim) or cannot be conclusively tied to Darkland languages (e.g. Ghagrim).
