The Dovahzul concept of fiction

In brief; I’m trying to work out a few conceptual words for “Story” and related ideas.

The Dovah didn’t really have a concept of fiction, near as I can tell, probably because of their unique relationship with time. But they definitely had an understanding of metaphor, so it seems plausible there might be a term or two that works.

The best I’ve come up with so far is “Looevahzah”: literally “Deceptions true”. Not quite the connotation I’d like, not to mention pretty hard to pronounce. Any other ideas?

I’d also like to find terms for “storyteller”, “teacher”, and the idea of keeping knowledge via stories. I’d say “library”, but I’d probably end up with literally “place of words” or similar.
