Title: Translating "All Men Must Lift" Into High Valyrian
Post by: gymherogear on January 16, 2016, 03:50:50 pm

Hi guys and gals!

I broached this request to Tim, one of the admins, and he told me to direct my query to you guys. My name is Mike and I'm obviously a noob to this page. I was hoping you could help me with a translation of "All Men Must Lift" into High Valyrian. I own a fitness clothing company and was hoping to design something along those lines. I would gladly send you a copy of the finished product for your help. You can see the kind of products that I make on my website:

While there isn't a known specific translation of "to lift", we do have a word for "to raise" - manaeragon - and given that David J. Peterson is sparse when it comes to coining new terms, it seems likely that it would be the same word. "All men must lift" or "all men must raise" would thus be Valar manaeris. For an answer that is definitely correct though, I would advise to ask DJP directly.

Thanks for the effort at all, sir!

I'm sure it's amazingly close enough for my purposes.
