Today’s word for Firen:
lůffotuf, “soul”
Coined for use in the compound lůffokofso, “soul-fire”. Lůffokofso is the name of the magical fire created by Rajafaṙ to animate the sůṙjafia. (Well, that’s the Firen name for it. In Jafren it has a different name, but I haven’t even started on that language yet.)
How beautiful! I love it!
fifpē: to cringe at, be embarrassed by. It conjugates as the second verb in the sentence, the same way as himna- (to make someone do something).
Unrelated bonus (derived word, not a new lexeme): bēkok: the Christian season of Advent (from a cognate to “coming;” the conlang word is more literally “arriving, arrival”)
Ouch. And great sounds for that word!
Another day, another bodypart.
Ilo = belly, stomach. I think both the abdomen in general and the food-stomach in specific. Not sure if also used for wombs as in referring to pregnancy or not.
Nice!
sosen – adj. spicy, flavorful and with moderate heat
