What does "a toothy grain" mean?
Hello. What does "a toothy grain" mean? Does it mean "a big and sharp grain"?
Here is the context (from the game Fallout 4):
Razorgrain. This species appears to be quite promising. It's a toothy grain that we may be able to grind in order to replace wheat, which is untenable in the Wasteland. We are uncertain how to increase crop yields, which are very unpredictable. Will continue to study.

What does "to fall with" mean?
Hello! Could anyone please explain what "fall with" means in the context below?
"A railroad was being built near Tell Basta, and workmen hit on a treasure hoard buried near the remains of the temple. [description of the treasure] Workers found another cache later that fall with more treasures, including gold armlets inscribed with the name of Ramses II."
At first, I thought it meant "a cache that was filled with more treasure." I checked several dictionaries, and none of the meanings of the word "fall" matched that. It's also written in a present tense, so it has got to mean something else. Right? "To belong to a particular group", one of the meanings of "fall", kind of fits the context... I think. For example, "the material falls into three categories." But I'm not sure if it's really the right meaning in my case. Please, help! :) Thank you.

Korean Practice #3. "New"
I made a bunch of mistakes using the words 새롭다 and 걷다 in my previous notebook entry. I've just realised that I learned how to use 걷다 only in a general situation like "I walk a lot". I have yet to learn how to use 걷다 in situations like "I walked to the store".
In this entry, I want to practice the Korean word "new".
그것은 새로워요. That is new.
그것은 새로운 접근이에요. That is a new approach.
저는 새 차가 있어요. I have a new car.
이것은 새 차가예요. This is a new car.
이 차는 새 거예요. This car is new.
친구는 새 컴퓨터가 있어요. My friend has a new computer.
친구의 컴퓨터는 새 거예요. My friend's computer is new.

Как бы вы написали имя Катя на корейском?
Как бы вы написали имя Катя на корейском? Мне кажется, что 가댜 звучит ближе к "Гадя". Может быть 카탸? Я новичок в корейском и мне пока что сложно понять разницу в звуках ㄱ, ㅋ и ㄲ.

What does "to play shop" mean?
Hello. What does "play shop" mean in the text below? This is from the video game Fallout 4.
I put in years of my life to keep this factory running and this is how they treat me? I'm supposed to babysit a bunch of robots while they play shop? This is ridiculous.
-------
Edit: I don't know if this is helpful, but the text was found on a computer at a robot factory. I think the factory didn't just create robots, but they also sold them. So... I guess I just answered my question.I guess the person who wrote the text wasn't happy that the factory had started to sell robots instead of focusing only on their production. So I assume "while they play shop" means "while the management sell robots". Maybe the person thought it wasn't serious or something and that's why he wrote "play shop"?

Two questions about articles
1. Why is there no article before the words "family tradition" in the sentence below? Shouldn't it be "in a family tradition"?
On her treks to the family farms, National Geographic photographer Rena got a first-hand look at the Aguadas process — a painstaking, artisanal method rooted in family tradition and a regional passion for coffee.
2. Why is there no article before the word "town"?
The burlap sacks of beans are loaded onto colorful chiva (goat) buses that rumble into town to the cooperative where coffee is graded, sorted, sold, and, sometimes, roasted.
