Day 21 of #BooksAreMyJam, in which I pair a linguistics-y book from my shelves with today's jam from the Bonne Maman #jamvent calendar Raspberry lychee jam paired with The Art of Language Invention by David J Peterson: the multiple pronunciations of lychee/litchi reminded me of the retconning necessary to make some of the original Game of Thrones names fit in with the subsequently fleshed-out Dothraki language
