Bilbus

Shouldn't this be "bilus"? And the notes reference a "bolb" word for "bump", which doesn't exist

Hezdremhah

should be modern (unless you think that the musicians (esp. lute players) in Skyrim had a concept of this, in which case "ahzidremhah" would be semi-canon or something)

There are songs within Skyrim played in major - and minor, I think - so regardless of its existence in the real world at the era TES is set, it's in the game.

I fixed the notes of "Bilbus" to mention to correct word "Bil." It's a modified version of the suffix to make "Bilbus" rather than "Bilus," not for much reason other than the way it sounds.

The murky thing about musical terms is that we don't know what kind of musical notation The Elder Scrolls has, if any, or how developed their musical knowledge is. Music has existed for tens of thousands of years but these specific terms have only existed in the last thousand or so. Then it becomes a question of - would dragons innately have words for these? As far as we've seen dragons aren't a musically inclined culture, so my instict is no.

Are you thinking 'petty'? That would be 'sahlag'.

As in "a pet raven?" I'm inclined to say only a noun. Maybe a separate word like rezusrezus ruvaak "a petly raven."

Premaal

Synonym: Forbearing. Maybe also tolerant, but that could root from 'tholah' somehow instead.
