I hear another site has the monopoly on that. Yes. And in fact, the answer to that particular question was "no." No sauce was harmed, in the making of those posts. (Though the word "sober" might be misleading, given the natural side-effects of a slight head cold and lack of sleep.)

Why is the language of giants and the original language of First Men the same language. Old tongue.

What language does the word maegi belong to?

What language does the word maegi belong to? Interesting question. Could it be Dothraki? Mirri Maz Duur, the Lhazareen, is called maegi by the Dothraki. The other maegi, Maggy, came from the east. Could Maggy have been one of the dosh khaleen perhaps? I ask this because MMD mentions a Dothraki woman she learned the art of Dothraki healing from during her stay in Asshai. Apperently Dothraki travel abroad to learn and/or escape. Or is it a Valyrian word that spread over time? The pre-dragon Valyrians were said to herd sheep in similarity to the Lhazareen. Is that enough similarity? Is that too many half-answers riddled with questions?

I'd initially answered my own question one way, but later changed my mind for a very specific reason. And I now have an intriguing pseudo-theory about the Dothraki people. But one thing you mentioned will send me back to the text. I did not remember MMD's Dothraki tutor in Asshai...

What gods did the First Men worship before they took the Old Gods of the Children? The classical answer on this from Heresy still suits me best.

Oh, it's that as the First Men invaded Westeros, they came from the south and migrated north up the coasts, including the islands. Then following the Pact, when the continental First Men gradually adopted the old gods, the island populations represented refuges of the original faith and culture.
Which is why the Iron Isles and Sisters both have, historically in the case of the Sisters and currently in the case of the Iron Isles, binary faiths of two gods involving sea and sky. In the Iron Isles, you have the Drowned God vs. the Storm God, and in the Sisters, you have the Lady of the Waves and Lord of the Skies. These anomalous religions, which have no continental followers, might both trace directly from the original religion of the First Men in the Dawn Age, which presumably would also have been binary.

Why did Davos take so many risks to bring foodstuffs to Storm's End during the seige?
The usual answer is that he knew what it was to be hungry, etc. But who's buying that story?
