Creation and Usage Notes

I reluctantly added to Dothraki a couple of words for basic level terms I didn't feel should be basic level. One of them was hrazef, "horse", and this was another one. I felt that the Dothraki would probably only have words for specific types of trees, probably based on their properties, and how the Dothraki used or interacted with them. I did this because I thought if I ever needed to use the word, I wouldn't know what specific type of tree was being referred to, and if I were forced to use a specific tree word, I'd probably use the wrong one. As it turns out, I never once needed to use any Dothraki word having to do with trees. Oh well.
