"Domus Durbentia" - The Cultist Language

Domus Durbentia, or Dark Wisdom in English; is the made up language by Monolith the cultists in Blood and Blood 2 speak. It is a mix of Latin and Sanskrit. The only words and phrases we know of were released by Monolith many years ago, and it is a shambled incomplete list. Even the Wiki page for Domus Durbentia contains words that don't have a translation. It has two forms, Formal (for writing) and Colloquial (for casual conversations). It was made by Daniel Bernstein.

I've had a passion for dead and made up languages, and the sharp and commanding style of DomDur is appealing. I've linked the websites and sources for DomDur and a few sites I use myself when coming up with my fan additions to the language. I will post the words known from the wiki; but first post my ideas on some potential words for the language. Please feel free to add your own, there is no one to dictate what goes and what does not for DomDur.

Pronunciation: http://preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Int ... iatio.html
All latin letters are pronounced exactly as they sound and there is no silent letters.

I've been tempted to mail that guy from LangFocus just to ask him for some input on this. It'd be very interesting to know how in the world the whole thing was pieced together and finally be able to come up with fresh vocabulary no guesswork involved.
