Well, heres a list of some of the words i got out of the root for plant :
Him - having to do with plants
Hima - plant
Himeka - garden (group of plants)
Himura - plantsman, nurseryman (one who works with plants for a living)
Himisa - botany student (one who studies plants)
Himisura - Botanist (one who studies plants for a living )
Himona - seedling (offspring from a plant)
Himuna - a planter, a plant pot, etc. (a container for plants)
Himsha - dwarfed plant....indirectly: Bonsai (a small plant)
Himiba - tree (a large plant, very vague, i know)
Hopefully this comes out right (it's supposed to be a list)! At least one
of those examples is a bit vague on meaning. Himiba could be a tree, a
large bush, an abnormally large plant, etc. I could probably compound
Himiba with the word for wood (i dont have it yet :)) to come up with tree.
