High Valyrian

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA(key): /ɡeːˈlyːri/

Noun

gēlȳri

  1. Nonstandard form of gēlȳndi.
    Gēlȳri aōt tepagon jaelas, hegnīr aōhys rūs ipradagon kostos.
    He only wants to give you money, so your baby can eat.
    -Varys (Game of Thrones, Episode 601)[1]

Notes

  1. The form gēlȳri here indicates that the speaker is erroneously assuming the base form to be gēlio instead of the actual form, gēlion. This is a mistake that Valyrian speakers in general might make, but which is a bit surprising for Varys.
