Speculation
| This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.
It should not be taken as representing official lore! |
It is speculated that there are other meanings for the word.
- Zul may mean "Great", hence "Zul'jin" would mean "Great Chief" and "Zul'Gurub" would mean "Great Gurub" or "Great City of the Gurubashi".
- Zul may also be a troll god. Pointing to this is Altar of Zul in the Hinterlands.
In fact, these two explanations may not be in conflict. Historically the Urgatic term "Ba'al" and the modern English term "Lord" have also been applied both as substitutes for the names of deities, and titles given to important people.
Each of these ideas essentially apply the English linguistics system onto troll language. We do not actually know how the troll linguistic system works, however. In the troll language, Zul could have more than one meaning based on context and syntax.
