(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈɡeːlior/

gēlior

gēlior (third/sixth declension terrestrial, nominative plural gēliori)

money

Gēlȳri^[1] 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)

↑ The form gēlȳri (which should be gēlȳndi) 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.
