Thank you, they write first, because they're grateful for him and his telling them tales.
Not the only thing that they've gotten from this, though. I think she Ze'mer called her lover Khukri as a name. Does that seem right? I'd like to add that to her grave later, or otherwise acknowledge it there. They're partly writing this to try remembering, partly to confirm they weren't misinterpreting the language. It's Lemm's job to know such things, after all.
The Knight's had to learn many by immersion in their wanderings, and while they've got good at it, there have been many, many accidental misunderstandings that lead to later confusion or offense. Less than for those who would speak, but still enough to be wary of such without it being as important as honoring the Traitor's Child.
