Creation and Usage Notes
| I thought the optional marking of inalienable possession with the ablative was pretty slick. I'm pretty sure the idea came to me in the second round of the Dothraki competition, because it wasn't in the language at first. But I got some good mileage out of it—shortened up the phrase "Blood of my blood" pretty well.
