I don't really want to touch the formating in this page, so someone braver than I should attempt it. The word is "Her'ex'vre' which means "Mantle of the Hero", and is in reference to single-pilot battlesuits.

Article Title

Shouldn't this be called dictionary or Tau Language or something like that? --Inquisitor S. 10:53, 27 March 2007 (CEST)

By a 'dictionary' someone normally expects a book one can hold. 'Tau language' is a bit too vague. 'Lexicon' is a fine name. Notice that all these terms are quite similar. Irulan 19:07, 27 March 2007 (CEST)
Lexicon --a book containing an alphabetical arrangement of the words in a language and their definitions. Most often refers to a foreign language dictionary. --Rlyehable 19:50, 30 March 2007 (CEST)

I am more less finished with my work at the Quotes-articles. I wish to improve this article in the same fashion as the Eldar Lexicon (centering everything, and making the article a bit smaller and easier to see by copying the alphabetical system). But I am not going to do it if you like the present article better. So: improve or not? Irulan 10:37, 10 June 2007 (CEST)

Words that I cannot verify

The following list of words are ones I have come across, but do not have the reference to confirm the source. If you can confirm the source for a word, please move it to the article and include the source. --Rlyehable 12:13, 29 March 2007 (CEST)

Tau names

The shortest form of Tau names does not include the Caste. For example; Commander Farsight is known simply as O'Shovah. Darkened wings 20:52, 7 June 2008 (CEST)

What does this mean?
