- Thu'um are actually words from Dragon language
- All Thu'um consists of 3 words.
- Thu'um's power comes from the understanding of the words.
Considering the nature of their language (and the dragons themselves), it's baffling how dragons haven't invented a Thu'um for conquering the world or hypnotizing people (or at least killing people by just speaking). Especially considering the purpose of Alduin. Yet they have Thu'um for mundane things like clearing morning fogs and insulting others.
