No more do lovers pledge their troth,
What means "troth" ?
I don't find the meaning of this word in my dictionary or on google.
Can someone help me, please ? a synonym or to attempt to explain me.
Thanks for your future help. |

The first and third ones are just goofy ways of saying "gnomes" and "glory". "Ga men" is continuing the rhythm, and just means "men". "Hin" are halflings. "But so" is being used to say that "we are like this, but this other race shares this feature." |

Waldham, this is a good online dictionary of American English which has 'ilk' and 'troth' and some other relatively archaic English words. |

"Hamagess" is a term made up by Eric Boyd - it's a combination of hamadryad and magess (i.e. a female mage).

ilk means type or kind, i.e. 'their kind of people'
Never heard of the word Hamagess |
