In Hangkerimce: PU_HIN/LA_KUN~PO/YI_KUN/HA\
In Kizidanoce: pu hein la lengquim yi koungha
KUN~PO/, quongpo: erotic (and romantic) love.
LEN^KIM~, lengquim: love of family or friend.
Kizidanore would use "lengquim" for the love from God and romantic love.
Hangkerimre would use KUN~PO/ for any love between a couple.
In Rithian: le laha
