Creation and Usage Notes

Believe it or not, this was one of the first words I created on my own for High Valyrian. Simple, uncontroversial, utilitarian... It's the word I used to fill out the -y paradigm. I didn't think too much about it. Once I'd decided that there would be a very old word for a hammer, I said galry, and that was it.
