Re: Vocab #10

Kaidha.
1. house
duom
2. wall
salith, related to selnitei "to stop"
3. door
fien
4. threshhold (That's a funny word. It has nothing to do with threshing
or holding.)
gatheim, related to "to step"
5. window
darfin ("see-door", a door you can look through)
6. lock (v or n)
eikaf (ekatei), related to ikeptei "to fasten"
7. room (I could swear I made this and a hundred other words that don't
appear in my lexicon. Perhaps I'm clairvoyant, but it's annoying.)
dharost
8. bathroom (I don't know if this fits into my conculture. Ah well, I can
always remove an unwanted word.)
nampis, from nomsei "to wash"
9. corner
kainus (related, oddly enough, to genu "chin")
10. ceiling
dasa (a scream of pain). Seriously, tokiv (from "house sky").
I'm having a bit of trouble making a fluency-level lexicon from 640 root
words. My muse is demanding hazardous duty pay.

  My house has a door that faces north, but windows that face east and
west.
Ik duom kardag fien sol othan huri sedhil, bid a darfini othan huri sagen
ak salona.

  That unusual house has 6 walls per room.
Fe afalen duom kardag dhuv salithi len saret dharost.

  The threshhold is where the door is.
Fe gatheim asag sen a fien asag e.

  There aren't any locks on the doors, not even on the bathroom door.
Nai anlesa eikafi reib a fieni nai reib a fien a nampisel.
(No there are locks on the doors no on the door the of-bathroom.)

  In the southern corner, against the ceiling, there are many cobwebs.
Len a uneval kainus, kenet a tokiv, anlesa mein sataisi (from sal "dirt"
+ tailos "veil").

I needed house stuff. Mercifully, I already had the direction stuff. I'm
starting to feel that, while it isn't all down-hill from here, at least I
don't have to scale cliffs. Sturnan is a friend and a companion, not a
challenge any longer.
Uh-oh. Now she'll throw some really tricky things at me.

Laimes,
