Dunmeri Translations??

Being the guy with way too much spare time that I am, I delved into the Dunmer's language itself. I was quite surprised by how many people had resources in the language, but there are a few things that I've still got on my mind. After searching seven or eight sites, I still haven't been able to find out what 'Ald', 'Ur', "Amur" and "Mar" mean (any help would be nice). I have, however found out alot on most of the other words, which are listed below. I thought everyone should know the english name for their favorite city (or, more practically, how to name a new town in a mod). Dunmeri is phrased like normal english, so, yes Balmora does translate exactly into Stone Forest, etc.

Bal=Stone
Molag=Fire
Isra=Row
Gah=Great
Sadrith=Mushroom
Mora=Forest
Morag=Harvester
Camonna=Bandit
Tong=Guild
Kogo=Unbreakable
Ruhn=Home
Tel=Tower; Tower of....
N'wah=Fool
S'wit=Outlander

Wondering if Oxford makes a English-to-Dunmeri dictionary,

jumping from klingon to about a dozen of elvish language types, this is quite a nice setup for a change.
way to go :)

I enjoy researching the Dwemer and other things. However I do not know much of the Dwemers language, so what you have given me is much appreciated. If you are a fellow fan of Tamrielic lore than I suggest going here http://til.gamingsource.co.uk/ ;)
