Mmm... in English, probably |katabatic|, "blowing downhill" (used of
wind). Something like [%k_h{4_h@"b{4_h1k_}] (I'm not sure exactly if it's
[1], but I'm certain it aint [I]...)
Possibly Spanish |pato| "duck" ["patO].
Bosnian |dubok| "deep".
|hoplack| ["hAp_}l&k_h]. :)
I spose that lil cross-section exposes my biases ....
