Creation and Usage Notes

This word, of course, is one of the few words of High Valyrian created by George R. R. Martin. It figures in one of the most famous prophecies of the books which claims that the valonqar will choke the life out of Cersei Lannister. There have been a lot of theories about this word, given that Tyrion is Cersei's younger brother and Jaime is the younger twin, but one of the more interesting fan theories is that valonqar means younger brother or younger sister, and so someone like Arya might end up killing Cersei. When I built this language, I didn't imagine that George R. R. Martin had intended words such as this one to apply to more than one gender. Should it turn out to be the case, I will take it upon myself to emend the language so that it jives with Martin's work, as he is the ultimate authority on the world and characters he created.
