Feedback & Content Suggestions
General / Intro
- A quick note at the top explaining when to use Ibbalese vs. Valakese (central docks vs. older/rustic folk) so people know which column to speak. [Done]
- A quick Emergency / Survival block right at the start (Help, Guard, Stop, Doctor, Fire). If someone gets mugged on the dock, they need immediate words. [Started]
Salutations & Social
- Some basic travel staples: Yes, No, Please, Thank you, and “I only speak a little Valakses” to slow down fast talkers.
- A firm but non-swear “leave me alone” phrase for pushy vendors.
Swears & Taboos
- The detail about Shiiferaf (Liar) and death taboos causing fights is great. [yay :D]
- Highlight that warning clearly. Travelers need to know calling a dock worker a liar will get them punched, not laughed at. [added some more highlights]
Important Spots
- Action phrases alongside location nouns: “Where is [X]?”, “Which pier?”, “Is it far?”, “Left / Right / Straight”.
- Good spots to add: Customs House, Harbour Master, Ferry Slip, Bathhouse.
Market & Docks (Suggested Add)
- A port town needs haggling basics: “How much?”, “Too expensive”, “Weigh it again”, “I only have [X] coin”.
- A quick tip on local dock scams or short-changing.
Activities & Poetry
- For time-keeping, maybe base it on tides instead of hours (“before high tide”, “when does the boat leave?”).
- Poetry section is neat. A quick tavern toast or a short sea shanty would fit well there, for mingling.
