Re: Lexeme Request: Water and Fire

My languages (at least to me) sound melifluous only because they're 
influenced by languages I know or at least have studied a bit, which tend to 
not have lots of harsh sounds or complex ones. I do think that at least 
Ayhan can sound ugly to those who like lots of liquids and flowing 
dipthongs, but to me it's pretty. I think most would find it funny sounding 
(sort of like friends who think Tagalog sounds hilarious when spoken).

Even in natural languages, I think at least two words are a lot of times 
mellifluous:

English: fire, water
Spanish: fuego, agua 
Hiligaynon: kaláyo, túbig
Tagalog: apóy, túbig

By the way, I accidentally used the old name for Ayhan for my entries. It 
shouldn't be Saalangal, but it should be Ayhan.
