Re: Norreyna again (long-ish)

<<If I have the root SIW, which indicates the idea of
following, how do you derive the noun meaning
'travois'? I want to avoid Tolkien's method (using the
same suffixes over and over so that all the nouns end
in -wa, for example). How about verbs? Adjectives?>>

I'm...not sure what a "travois" is. I looked it up in the dictionary, and I'm even less
sure, and I don't understand how it comes from the root for "following"--maybe
if understood "travoises" I would. But anyway, in my language (if I'm getting
the basic understanding down), if, say, "SLW" were the root for "to travel"
(vowels can't be root letters in my language), then "silejwat" would be
"traveling", and "saelIw" would be "an object one uses to travel", or, a
"travois". At least, I think... Why "travois"? I think my life would have been
richer had I not known this word. But it's too late now...
