daltli

Daltli is a term that appears in several unrelated contexts, with no single, universally accepted definition. In general usage, it is most often encountered in fantasy literature and worldbuilding discussions as a proper name or category rather than a technical term.

In fictional settings, daltli is frequently used as the name of a city, region, or cultural group. Authors describe it as a coastal mercantile center or an ancient scholarly polis, though the details vary by work. In game lore, daltli factions may be depicted as merchants, navigators, or scholars, and the term can serve as a placeholder for an unspecified people or language.

In speculative linguistics and language design, daltli has occasionally been used as a placeholder label for phonological or morphological patterns in hypothetical languages. It is not a standard linguistic term and has no fixed features across sources.

Etymology is uncertain; the word is likely constructed or borrowed in modern contexts, without a canonical origin. Its use tends to reflect authorial preferences in naming rather than historical or linguistic lineage.
