Actually you can add me to BOTH lists, and I was only male last time I
checked :)
Actually I let the computer help me with vocab building, and sometimes it
presents me with pleasant surprises. The oldest of all roots in Sohlob is
*tyasl-; impf. _saehl_, perf. _sohl_, inf. _sahl_; "flow, well", found both
the name of the lang and in the nominalized form _sohl_ meaning a large body
of water -- used both in referring to "The White Sohl", which is the great
lake in the desert around which the Sohlob culture is centered, and to "The
Black Sohl", which is the ocean. Now recently the computer came up with a
new root *tyulsy-; impf. _sihl_, perf. _suhl_, inf. _sohl_; "wrap, enfold",
the meaning of which fits remarkably well with the "ocean" sense of "sohl"!
