Verak:
Greetings all.
In everyday life I'm Britton. Several of the Na’vi langauge tribe know me in person and at least one of them has slept on my sofa in San Francisco. If nobody confesses, then you can figure it out through a game of akathi questions.
;)
I have not read the book(s). I don't have HBO. I'm disappointed that there is no Dothraki word yet for "lurker". I'll try to be polite.
My native language is English.
We can leave it at that for now. :)

Welcome.
I know Lajaki was at a Na'vi meetup in California so that would be my initial guess at least.
As for a word for lurker. I would guess that it could be a word derived from the word esshey which means roof since everything that is done under a roof is considered dishonest or secretive and that would sort of fit for a lurker (the secretive part, not the dishonest). I guess it would also work to use a metaphorical use of a word that would mean to sneak or prowl or something like that as well but we don't have a word for that yet.

Thanks for the warm welcome and for the guess. Congratulations! You're the winner!!
To understand things like metaphors/allusions to esshey and the like I really am going to need to either read the books or get HBO. Hmmm... books cheap from library... HBO, ?, not so much...
For now I think I'll stick with Verak. I'm already being too vociferous to qualify as a lurker anyway. :P
PS: Seems I've made my first careless error in Dothraki already. I *think* I meant to spell that above as akatthi. I'm not exactly sure *why* I'm under the impression that it is a more correct spelling, but oh well... I still felt the need to confess.
PPS: If it is possible to turn on the "Modify" option for posts for which a logged-in member is the author, I suggest/request doing that. Somehow I can never catch (all of) my sloppy errors via that Preview button. I'm sure it's one of my (many) character flaws.

Well, the dothraki believe that anything important in life should be done under the open sky (they are a nomadic tribe that spends a lot of time on horseback) so in contrast things that are done under a roof is seen as dubious.
I have emailed the admin of the forum about the issue with the modify option so hopefully it will get resolved.

Anha chomak. (fingers crossed: both for "Modify" appearing and for that verb being a verb and being properly conjugated.)
