Creation and Usage Notes

See my note on zaldrīzes. As a small note, I changed the spelling for the sake of consistency, as with, for example, Cohollo in Dothraki. I figured changing a hard C to a K wouldn't be a big deal for the fans (after all, you can still spell it with a C if you want). -David J. Peterson 18:19, 6 September 2020 (PDT)
