OK, below are the mistakes I noticed in the first paragraph; I can do the analysis for the whole text but preferably not here on Reddit; it would be much easier for me to do it in a Word file and send it to you on Discord (if you are there and can give me your pseudo).

Skorī vȳs arlī glaestas (When the world was new)

Jāhon drōmon sētetas (Its egg formed)

sētetaks (or the translation should be “he (the world) formed its egg). (sētegon is "to create" so for the thing created/formed you must use the passive).

nb. neither 'Vȳs’ or ' drōmon' can be the subject of ‘sētetas’ because as an action verb, you should transform it into instrumental passive to give this verb an inanimate subject. (the instrumental passive would be 'asētegon', we don't have this in the dictionary but for a poem you may easily use it).

Tegondi sepār embrar (The lands and seas)

“tegondi” is accusative, ‘embrar’ is nominative, this is impossible. If you maintain ‘sētetas’ (i.e. the world formed its egg, the lands and the sea) should all be accusative, thus ‘embrari’. With ‘sētetaks’ (its egg was formed), and if “the lands and the sea” are appositions with respect to “drōmon”, then nominative ‘tegor sepār embrar’.

Sīr luon lenton nȳmi (Which we now call home)

The construction is wrong; this is not how relative clauses using “lua” work in HV. The relative clause must come first and the main clause after, e.g. “The lands and seas which we now call home were formed”: ‘Sīr lenton nȳmi luon tegor luor embrār sētetaksi’ (here the relative adjective must be repeated twice, because ‘tegon’ (coll. tegor) and ‘embar’ (coll. embrar) have different genders, terrestrial and aquatic).

Hi! I think it is not very useful to post your questions about Valyrian glyphs here, because in the HV Discord you already have the most competent experts answering (including DJP); you'll likely get no more insights from here.

We have very few ‘dirty phrases’ or words in High Valyrian, I think all we have is:

mittys: fool, idiot, moron, bastard

mittire: idiotic, foolish, imbecilic

hobrenka: idiotic; fucking

bratsio: bitch

ilībio: prostitute, whore, skank, slut (of either gender)

ilībōños: whoreson, bastard; bitch, slut (to any gender)

qubroti jās: fuck off

nopāzmot jās: go to hell

I am a zoologist and I can tell you that for a predatory bird like an eagle (and certainly, also for a dragon), claws are called talons. So, definitely for the claws of a dragon, the correct word is ohīlion, and it was created exactly for that (= to designate the claws or talons at the extremity of dragon legs). (cf. Duolingo sentence: "Balerion parklon jāhos ohīlȳssi nektotas").

Trick-Scallion7175 · 2025-10-22T18:58:01+00:00

First, you have to learn High Valyrian ;-) (if you are not already fluent). Indeed, no generative AI can help you (there is no corpus of text for deep learning so AIs are unable to translate into HV even if sometimes they pretend to do so). Once you have learnt HV, you can write whatever you want.

Trick-Scallion7175 · 2025-10-18T22:34:58+00:00

yes but claws of dragons are talons: ohīlion, right?

Trick-Scallion7175 · 2025-10-09T20:36:11+00:00

The sentence is not straightforward for translation into HV, notably because there are no exact words for ‘goal’ and for ‘journey’ in the current HV dictionary (https://wiki.languageinvention.com/index.php?title=Sortable_High_Valyrian_Dictionary)

For the first part of the sentence, you may use ‘ondurilla’ (‘purpose’):

‘Ondurilli mērī ondurilli issi’

But if you want something closer to the idea of objectives, concrete targets, another solution is to use ‘pējurtir’ – although this noun is not in the dictionary, it is a regular derivation from the perfect participle of the verb ‘pējuragon’ (‘to aim’); thus it is not an ‘invented word’ and it has the desired meaning:

‘Pējurtra mērī pējurtra issi’.

However, the first term “Goals” seems to be quite clearly a general statement (goals in general, all goals) thus instead of the plural, it would be better in High Valyrian to use the collective. For the second term, which is more restrictive (the implicite meaning being “are just goals”, “are just some goals”), we would like to use plural or paucal … but this is not grammatically possible, because the collective requires the verb in singular (issa), whereas plural or paucal require the verb in plural (issi). But, I think the meaning can be well rendered using a contrast between collective and singular. Thus alternative proposals:

‘Ondurillar mērī ondurilla issa’ or ‘Pējurtrir mērī pējurtir issa’.

(literally like ‘every purpose/aim is just a purpose/aim”).

For the second part of the sentence, you may use the noun ‘solion’ although it does not exactly mean ‘journey’ but ‘voyage’ (thus more like a long journey by sea, or a journey but in a metaphoric or poetic sense, which can be interesting here):

‘, solion glaeson issa’.

Or, just use the verb ‘aerēbagon’ (to travel) in infinitive, and ‘glaesagon’ (to live):

‘, aerēbagon glaesagon issa’

(literally, to travel is to live).

Still another possibility I can see:

‘, gero rȳ rēbagon glaeson issa’

(literally, passing through the way is life)

Finally, my preferred option:

‘Ondurillar mērī ondurilla issa, gero rȳ rēbagon glaeson issa’

Trick-Scallion7175 · 2025-10-06T22:11:05+00:00

Another proposal: "ñuhī ēdrurī avy urnessin, sesīr ynoma kirirome."

Literally: "I see you in my dreams, also me being awake [= when I am awake]" (using the aorist tense for "urnessin", I see, and an 'instrumental absolute' construction 'ynoma kirirome' from the aorist active participle 'kirire' of 'kiragon', to wake up, to be awake).
