Great idea and I changed a vocabulary entry as a result.  The Senjecan
word for 'planet' was 'helüsteres,' i.e., wandering star.  I changed
that to 'sentësteres,' i.e., traveling star.   The inference now is
that the planets have a destination.  They are not wandering aimlessly
around the sky.

'helüa' means 'to wander, roam, amble, migrate, shift (of sands).'  It
also meant 'to hike.'  I've eliminated this latter and made a compound
verb with 'þrepa,' 'to walk.'  'To hike' is now 'helüþrepa' to wander-
walk.
