dragons have lips

this isn’t a shitpost. in skyrim’s dragon language there are pairs of distinct words such as: ‘nid’ (no/none), ‘mid’ (loyal/loyalty), ‘mu’ (we) vs ‘nu’ (now), and ‘aan’ (an) vs ‘aam’ (to serve). this indicates that dragons are able to distinguish between the sounds ‘m’ and ‘n’. 

the only difference between ‘m’ and ‘n’ is that the latter is formed with the tongue, while the former is produced with the lips 

therefore, dragons have lips 

This is some solid linguistic field work and I look forward to the followup post.

I am not sure what to do with this information, but I too await any follow-on research

i knew exactly what i wanted to do with this information
