Does anyone know what Geros ilas actually translates to literally?

[OliverBens1]

Sorry I don't actually know yet. Maybe check the wiki? Let me know if you find out :) The only thing I could find was "Original meaning to lay straight preserved in expression geros ilas good bye, literally something like may the path lie straight." under "ilagon". Here's a link to the wiki: https://wiki.dothraki.org/High_Valyrian_Vocabulary

I also found out that "geron" means "to walk" so maybe it comes from that?

[MadLatinist]

geron doesn't mean "to walk" (which is dekurūbagon or rēbagon), but "a walk" as in "Qilōnario Geron" 'The Walk Of Shame'.

But yes, geros is clearly related to geron "walk(way?)", and geralbar "road." It appears to mean "path," but I don't know if it is still a word in HV, or if it is only preserved in that expression.

[OliverBens1]

Ah I see. Kirimvose!

[DiontisSub]

Meaning is approximately "may your path be straight."

A polite phrase in a rude language. :)
