Statistical analysis of altman in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
If you ever find yourself explaining altman to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of altman will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
