Creation and Usage Notes

Do you know how grateful I was for this? I swear, it's like George R. R. Martin was laying out all the conlang elements in his book as if it were a teach yourself manual. With translations occurring directly after the Dothraki, and repeated elements like this where there could be no possible confusion as to which word is which, and what the order is supposed to be... What a gift. He honestly could not have made my job any easier.
