Creation and Usage Notes
| During the final round of the Dothraki competition, John Quijada, creator of Ithkuil, suggested that the finalists all coin words based on the other finalists' languages, so that no matter who won, we would all be represented. As a joke, he suggested we make the words mean something nasty or unflattering, so that future historians would think we all bore a grudge against one another. Of course, it was all a joke. My word for John was based on his language Ithkuil, and the meaning, brittle or fragile, was to suggest that I thought his masterwork Ithkuil was in fact poorly constructed. As fate would have it, John would go on of his own volition to completely remake Ithkuil, radically revising almost every aspect of it. I take no credit for this.
