Funny this should be discussed now as I've been fiddling with the colors
lately.
Hmm... târuven has the infix -'i- for "light, bright" and the infix
-su'- for "dark"... there are several names for colors but they all end
with -ar "color", though the `prefix' is rarely analyzable. Exceptions
are utar'a which is an intense, bright blue and pan which is indigoish.
They are probably both borrowings anyway.
I really should get around to finishing that page...
