Other notes
Prefixes:
äf- : gives a word a negative connotation ('taka' to take VS 'aftaka' to steal)
eld_- : (needs the space, but pronounced as one word) turns words into agents of action
Suffixes:
-ar : pluralizes when they end with a consonant / if the word ends in 'r', just add the 'a' before it / it the word ends in vowel and 'r', the suffix '-ya' is used instead
-í : forms past tense of words that don't end with 'i' or 'r'
-o : forms the past tense of words that end with 'i' or 'r'
-r : makes a word masculine
-s : makes a word possive
-ya : pluralizes word that end with vowels (the suffix replaces the end vowel). Also pluralizes word that end with a vowel-'r' combination
Other:
descriptions follow the item being described
a verb in its base can mean any present tense version of the verb -- past tense is created by adding 'o' or an accented 'i' -- future tense is created using 'will' or 'shall' -- there are no present participles (-ing)
titles, honorifics, and descriptions follow the word being described (usually) -- order does not matter if the descriptions are all modifying the same subject

Wow, how did you come up with this list? You find it somewhere?

[1newhope]

lol no, actually, I made this myself, though not recently:
after Eragon came out, I used the language guide in the back to start my own personal dictionary, as I had the crazy idea that I could maybe learn to speak AL as if it were any other language, like fans of Star Trek and LoTR learn Klingon and Elvish. I expanded it after buying Eldest and copying info the the Deluxe Edition Eragon.
as such, though, this is far from complete (this list only includes I was able to definitely isolate, and there were some long phrases in those language guids I didn't touch) and I wouldn't be surprised if it had errors.
so, if you wish to have this expanded/edited, feel free to post your words (preferrably w/ the text backup for your addition/edit) ;D

A few questions:
Is there any equivalent to "to" or "at"?
Is there any word for "too" or "also"?
Is combining words in general fair game? e.g. "skulblaka"

I don't know if you've got enough information to answer these, but they seem like they'd be handy things to know.

[1newhope]

'yes' to most of your statements;
to = eom
dragon = skulblaka (lit. 'scale-flapper')
bird = fethrblaka (lit. 'feather-flapper')
the Ra'zac = lethrblaka (lit. 'leather-flapper')
birghtscales (another word for 'dragon') = bjartskular
I could not find 'at', 'too', or 'also', though....

sorry, the guide as I originally had it was full of holes, and still is; I need to add to it.

[Helluinriel]

I found another guide online just looking around.

[vanyaliknifr]

just so you know, riel that dictionary is not comlete, they don't take apart full sentrances from the dictionary like, "se onr sverdarsitja hvass", which is "may your swords stay sharp!"

[Helluinriel]

No dictionary is complete, however that dictionary does not have words that are not included in the above list.
