Rusalka
Are you sure that "rusalka" is not a Rashemi word? Just because it's a monster doesn't meant that the name didn't come from that language. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:49, March 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. But there's no meaning ascribed to the word in the books, so it's invalid for a dictionary. It's just a name. In Rashemi, it could mean "river ghost" or "naked girl" or be the given name of the first one. The Russian word is often translated to "mermaid" or "siren", but it's actual original meaning is unknown, though it might derive from a word for a certain dance or festival. (The rusalka is a creature I've become intrigued by and tend to use in urban fantasy games, so I've come off a rusalka research kick.) So we just don't know what it means. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:14, March 13, 2017 (UTC)
