As I have said before, creating vocabulary is the most interesting
part of conlanging to me.  I have come across a few words in the
dictionary which may be of interest.  I like using compound words to
express nuances of a basic word.  These words all use "bear," as in
ursus, as the modifier.

rþßêlcin; rþßen, bear, + êlcin, hungry = ravenous

rþßëpââltin; rþßen, bear, + pââltin, wide = huge, enormous

rþßëßêmvin; rþßen, bear, + ßêmvin, toothed = grumpy

ß = dz); c = k.
