Ma used prepositionally assigns ablative...
Me davrae ma koholoon ma loqamoon sekke. - "He is very good with bow and arrow(s)."

Can you explain why you assigned ablative?

Thanks for the tips, they are extremely educational, much more than the lyrics themselves. I don't think I remember complementizers in Sunquan's tuturials, but I've found the wiki page summarizing the difference (http://wiki.dothraki.org/Other_word_classes).

"Mra qora" is an interesting way to think about possession and getting around "to have" when we can't just use the genitive. I was relieved to learn that there wasn't some obvious word I was missing ("ray" somehow felt incorrect even before I read why it was).

and would be best handled with k'atthirari.

Ki to genitive apparently means "by, because, of". Making the line "I'm feeling of life". That is quite a useful word. I could say anha frakhok k'vorsaki etc, making it a significant way of avoiding using adjectives as objects, or having to nominalize them.

The verses left are:

oh, vojjor anni, frakolak mae mra asavva
fiez towak oleth anni ven orzo
gizikh, nem virsalak, frakholak ei gache
vosi rokhi anna ajjin

Dirgak fin avigererak yeraan ayyey
Ven shieraki avigeri shekh mra asavva ajjalani
Ajjalan asvezhvan vosi
akka yer e, anha adothralak

Anha nemo frakholak sisi ajjalan
Dothralak osaan qisi chiqazat ma qazat
Rey khal anni dothralae hajekh anni
hash ek, nem adrivolak ajjalan layaf

Here is my updated version, with a lot of similar mistakes fixed:

oh, vojjor anni, anha frakhok mae mra asavva
towak nem shina oleth anni ven orzo
gizikh, anha nem virsak, anha frakhok mae mra ei gachesi
vosi rokhi anna ajjin

Anha dirgak meavigererak yeraan ayyey
Ven shieraki avigeri shekhes mra asavva ajjalani
Ajjalan asvezhvana vosi
akka yer ee, anha nem adothralak

Anha frakhok sisi ajjalan
Dothralak osaan qisi chiqazat ma qazat
Khal anni nem dothrae mra hajekh anni
hash anha nem ek, anha nem adrivolak ajjalan layaf

I'm interested in learning Dothraki but not Valyrian, is it possible to filter out all the Dothraki related ones?
