* Suspected connection to kar, or harshness/suffering, combined with the abstract intensifier suffix -ye
* Only attested in [[Last Light]]. The phrase "ayende alkarye" is officially rendered "do not falter". Given the contained ''kar'' (harshness, suffering), the context, and the [[-ye]] suffix as an abstract intensifier, alkarye likely means something like "hopelessness" or "despair" — a state one must not fall into.
