I just realized that the Freudians are going to get excited when they discover
that I assigned the meaning "(mountain) peak" to [fak] in Tairezazh ...
phallic symbolism at work, they'll conclude.

To make it even worse, it word was invented during the process of inventing
the masc name _Fkaz_, which at an earlier stage of the language appeared as
_Fakàzz_ (accent marking stress). I'm so not going to be able to convince them
