Muwani

Derogatory variation of Danthae-Gelvani, used almost exclusively among the Grey-Gelvani and Drey-Gelvani.

In the Gelvani tongue, ‘Mu-’ is the preposition meaning ‘mixed’, and ‘-wani’ is a derivation of the supposition meaning ‘blood of’, but more accurately ‘descended from the blood of’. Muwani are thus those elves whose parentage or lineage is mixed from the different creeds of Gelvani. As such, it is an accurate parallel of the more formal term (above), but time and usage has rendered it almost vulgar in most ears.
