I always get asked in interview what my favorite word is, or what some unique word is I’ve created, and I can never come up with anything, because most of the time I don’t get to use the fun words I come up with, and so I forget they exist. I just came across one such word in Dothraki, so I’m sharing it somewhere (i.e. here) before I forget about it again. Here it is:

zirgloro (ni.) peacock

What’s so fancy about that? Well, the word zir means “bird”, and the word gloro means “medallion”. Thus, a peacock is a medallion bird.

Yeah, baby! Shake what you got!
