382nd Ebisedian lexicon entry: w'ri ["?8r`i] - (n.) "ether".
Refers to the parallel hyperplane that lies alongside "space". (More on
this later.)
383rd entry: ww' ["?8:] - interjection.
An exclamation of surprise or disgust. ["?8::::]! :-)
384th entry: w'i ["?8?i] - (n.) "surprise", or "disgust".
Obviously a nominalization of the exclamation _ww'_. :-) (E.g., "how much
ouchness did you have?" or "how much ewwwness is in the gutter?")
Just wondering, how many of yall's conlangs have a way to nominalize
interjections/exclamations?
