Usage[?]

True... But qostiid - prophecy - tells what may be, not what should be.
Qostiid= prophecy (KWOWES-teed)
(Paarthurnax, 0003F9E1)

Qostiid sahlo aak. Just because you can do a thing, does not always mean you should.
a Qostiid sahlo aak. (“Prophecy is a weak guide”)
(Paarthurnax, 0003F9E1)

Connotations[?]

Dragons are ‘specially... attuned to the flow of Time’ (Paarthurnax, 0003FA42), and regard qostiid with less reverence than mortals. Represents what may come to happen, not what should. Action for the sake of prophecy is not always right.

Etymology[?]

Related to tiid ‘time’. May also relate to qolaas ‘herald’.
