Duel of the Fates - lyrics... etymology?? was created by Tarran
Okay, I have a question about this, but before that, here's first, the music (lyrics below it);
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzVBqBosf5w
And now here's the lyrics (after which, is my question);
*****************
Kor-ah, Mah-tah...
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah...
Yood-hah, Kor-ah...
Kor-ah, Syahd-ho!
Rah-tah-mah, Daan-yah!
Kor-ah!
Kee-lah!
Daan-yah...
Nyo-hah, Kee-lah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah,
Syahd-ho, Kee-la, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah,
Kor-ah, Daa-nyah,
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Kor-ah, Daa-nyah,
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah...
Nyo-hah, Kee-lah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Syahd-ho, Kee-la, Daan-yah, Rah-tah-mah!
Kor-ah!
Kor-ah, Mah-tah...
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Kor-ah, Daa-nyah...
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Nyo-hah, Kee-lah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah!
Syahd-ho, Kee-la, Daan-yah, Rah-tah-mah!
Kor-ah!
******************
Now, obviously, these mean nothing in any human language ( - or do they? Muahahahaha... ), but are they... Sithian? Or... something? They obviously should have some SWUniverse etymology, whether written out, or merely assumed and as yet unmanifest... I just wonder if there *is* any light to shed on these, and if so, might anyone here please shed some of it?

It is equally likely that it just "felt" or "sounded" good, and is in some unnamed, not-exactly-canonical language, hand-waved in because those particular syllables in those particular tones evoke a certain intended feeling in the listener.

What? No no no. It's in Sanskrit:

That's an easy google search. lol. But, the translation is a bit fuzzy, I'm told. But, it's not nonsense.
