A word from Hindi, meaning "the madness". It is known from Rudyard Kipling's work The Jungle Book as a sickness known to be caused by the bite of a jackal, potentially referring to some form of the rabies or another.
"Even the tiger runs when little Tabaqui goes mad, for madness is the most disgraceful thing that can overtake a wild creature. We call it hydrophobia, but they call it dewanee-the madness-and run." - Passage from the first page of The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Get the Dewanee mug.Delanee is a caring, sweet girl who is so beautiful but denies it entirely. She is always willing to help her friends. If you ever find yourself a Delanee, keep her and never let go. She is a diamond in the rough.
Girl: “Did you see that girl?”
Me: “Yeah, her name is Delanee. She’s by best friend and if you mess with her I’ll hunt you down and murder you!”

Get the dhwaneel mug.
The wielder of the master sword. A devanee is also a proud attender of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardy (gryffindor). She commands her pokemon with the power of the force to eliminate any and all Death Eaters around, and at the end of the day, she slaughters hordes of orcs while making sure frodo goes unharmed. Oh yeah, she's also a god, and the granddaughter of Gandalf. Her name must also not be spoken of.
