Back to words aplenty, aww yeah. Fun fact: “Fair folk” and “fairies” refer to the same horrible magic critters, but the terms are peculiar to racial dialect. Ogres, and by proxy orcs, favor the term “fair folk,” whereas humans are more likely to call them “fairies.” Having spent much of her formative years around humans, El tends to use the human terminology.
@Lemniskate: The first syllable's accented. Ogrish is pretty much a simplified pseudo-German (since I'm not exactly a Tolkien-level linguist), so you've pretty much got it except for the stress. ORK-eh-shoon-geh, secondary stress on the third syllable and a gutteral, almost umlauted "oo" sound.
@artdude2002: Not quite. As tough a time as El had just getting one satyr to take her at least somewhat seriously, imagine what would happen if a much more traditional orc tried to bargain with him. Whee fantasy racism!

Where's the stress on "Orkeschunge"? I'd put it on the first e.. "ohrk-Ashoongae".
