Cool.  I'll borrow that for Jovian: |ouglaevel| /Ug"lajv@l/, from
|ouglare| /ug"la:r/ "to ogle" (fascinating similarity...) from
|oggul, ougli| /"Agg@l "Ugli/ "eye".

In Obrenje, I have two gender-specific words for sexy: |taminje| and
|tumanje|, derived from |tami| "babe" and |tuma| "hunk".  The latter
two nouns used to mean "virgin" and "unmarried man" in some long
forgotten age, but now refer to any young adult.
