General Discussion / Re: Passover:The four Questions

here we have a good collection of words we just don't have, like herb or leavened. We can speculate and we can ask David for specific words,

I'd been thinking of some lack of words.  There are several real languages that lack say a general word for herbs, and in those cases vegetables is used instead.  Leavened/unleavened often rely on bread/matsa (a guess at  the dothraki spelling) as a loan word.  I found it interesting that Hindi has no general word for bread, and I've been told some rice based cultures have no concept of leaven at all.When it was translated into Na'avi 'hametz' became 'hametsi' so if this were also transliterated into dothraki, then 'khamets' maybe.

As this was a topic about passover, can someone please start and move the discussion of the Lord's Prayer to another subject

Some Haggadahs substitute  this other question for the fourth:

Why on all other nights do we eat in an ordinary manner but on this night we dine with special ceremony

Winter may be coming,  but now it's spring, which means that Passover will be here soon.  Has anyone translated the 4 Questions into Dothraki yet?
