Whenever I post in the forum I get an error message. I have tried it in both Firefox and in Chromium.
This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://forum.dothraki.org/index.php/board,1.0.html (http://forum.dothraki.org/index.php/board,1.0.html) has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
I don't think it's a cookie problem so it's probably some forum config problem.

Payoang says it's fixed.
He really needs a Dothraki name...
Yep! Fixed.

Ok, cool.

Dothraki name
As soon as there's a (public, announced) word for "fish."
-
Do the Dothraki even know what fish are? They tend to avoid water...

Going by how temperate the dothraki sea seems to be with all the grass they should see some rain from time to time which means there are probably lakes here and there. So they might at least know some fresh water fish.

I think the conversation went something like this:
[22:32] <ingsve> payoang needs to know the word for fish or seabass in dothraki
[22:33] <DavidJPeterson> Sea bass? Probably would be a borrowing, if it made its way into Dothraki at all.
[22:34] <DavidJPeterson> Their ocean vocabulary is scant, at best.
[22:34] <ingsve> I was speculating that the dothraki sea might have lakes at least so a fresh water equivalent probably should exist
[22:35] <DavidJPeterson> Oh, certainly. The Womb of the World is a lake, after all.
[22:35] <DavidJPeterson> There's a scene in the book where they bathe in it.
[22:35] <Payoang> But yes. A fishy word-- I mean, word for "Fish" would be lovely
[22:36] <DavidJPeterson> Hang on, I want to explore this "bass" bit a little bit. There are freshwater bass, are there not?
[22:36] <ingsve> yes
[22:37] <Payoang> Allegedly, basses come in various varietals: black, giant, chilean, european, spotted, largemouth, australian.
[22:37] <DavidJPeterson> I do have a word for that.
[22:37] <DavidJPeterson> It's a back-formation, in reality.
[22:38] <DavidJPeterson> In the context of the language, though, it's the name from which Zhaqo (in the book Jhaqo) comes.
[22:38] <DavidJPeterson> The word is zhaqe.
