Creation and Usage Notes

Despite my love of the show Daria, the similarity was entirely unintentional. I was always slightly troubled by having separate words for "king" and "queen"—and with a Romance-looking -a ending on "queen" to boot—but not "prince" and "princess". Thus far no one's skewered me for it, but it may be that the Valyrians were not supposed to have separate words for a male and female monarch.
