Dothraki place names for THE LANDS OF ICE AND FIRE

Last year's Lands of Ice and Fire introduced a large amount of new territory and new names to the geography of A Song of Ice and Fire. However, many of these new names were Dothraki, and no translation was provided. David Petersen, the creator of the Dothraki language for the Game of Thrones TV series, has now provided some translated names for these locations. Note that these are not 100% canon until confirmed by George R.R. Martin. They also show a distinct lack of imagination on the part of the Dothraki in naming places: what's wrong with 'City of Rainbows' or 'City of Adequate Nightlife and Cheap Parking'?


Adakhakileki: Eater of Skins.
Ifeqevron: A Dothraki term for a deadly forest spider.
Krazaaj Has (formerly Ghardaq): Sharp Mountain
Krazaaj Zasqa: White Mountains (the Dothraki name for the Bone Mountains).
Vaes Aresak (Ibbish): City of Cowards.
