Hey everyone,

I thought I'd let you know that we now have a forum up at Dothraki.org for discussion of the Dothraki language. We hope to be the base for the dothraki language, and we'll pretty much be recording everything on the wiki and the forum. I sometimes feel like I wouldn't want to start a topic here about, say, Noun-adjective ordering in Dothraki. Our forum is the place to do that.

I've talked to Elio, the master of this here website, and he said it was cool if we linked here.

The link is here.

Hope to see you lajaki on the Dothraki sea.

I just now tried to access Dothraki.org and I got this error message: "

... the one to take a knife to my heart!?...

That sounds different in these times of routine heart operations.

I once found in one of the books, a boy wondering why a dragonfly (the big insect) was so-called when it does not look much like a dragon. That text likely has caused nuisance to translaters, e.g. the French for "dragonfly" and "dragon" are "libellule" and "dragon".

So much untranslatable play on words will NOT be appreciated by people who have to translate the books into foreign languages.

I found an ambiguity in the online Dothraki to English dictionary:

dishah: [d iSah]DPni.bark

Here, does "bark" mean "bark of a tree", or the dog noise?
