Attestations
Sul'imsoen, ayende alkarye
"Stay true, do not falter"
— Alkarye (Last Light)
Notes
- 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.
