There’s a fun multilingual pun referring back to the last post. We had some good suggestions for “ice cream”—too many, in fact. I think there’s only one thing to be done: We need to start up several different Dothraki ice cream chains, each one using a different word for “ice cream”. One year later, we’ll… Continue reading Vekhikh Fishi

Dothraki Ice Cream
I was just up in Chico for a day, and I managed to hit my favorite ice cream store Shubert’s twice. As I was eating my mocha chip, I came to a decision: Dothraki needs a word for ice cream. Not an “in-universe” word, of course, but a modern one that I we can use… Continue reading Dothraki Ice Cream
Indefinite Relatives

Erin has stood beside me and supported me ever since we’ve been together—and that can’t have been easy. She supported me… Continue reading Jalan Atthirari Anni
Anha Tihak Yera
Little multiconlingual pun there for you. A while back, I was profiled on the CNN show The Next List. When I was prepping for the show, they asked me if I could get some videos of fans speaking Dothraki—about a minute, they said. I don’t think they understood just how long a full minute is,… Continue reading Anha Tihak Yera
