I must say i love your work...! Is there a translation for the word immortal in high valyrian? I am greek, and immortal is what my name means in my language, so i would be grateful :)

Wait… So you mean your name is Ambrosius? Like the dog in Labyrinth, my favorite movie of all time!?!?

You, sir, are awesome.

So, what was the question…? Oh, yeah, immortal. I don’t know if there’s a word for it, per se, but we could make one. The infinitive for “to die” (a verb we know from valar morghulis) is morghūljagon. Starting from there, let’s think about what immortal means. Immortal describes someone who cannot die—who will never die. So this, to me, sounds like a participle—specifically, a future participle.

So before we do any derivation, if morghūljagon is “to die”, then morghūlilare means “will die” or “to die” (as in “this is a man to die [some day]”). That basically means “mortal”. Now we add the opposite prefix nā- to get nāmorghūlilare, an adjective which means “not to die”, or “immortal”.

If you wanted to go further and turn this into a noun (i.e. someone who will never die), you’d get nāmorghūlilaros—bit of a mouthful for a name, but I bet it’d shorten up in nicknames. Thanks for the question!
