I really ought to have a word for "fuzzy" in Tir`elhat, but the best I can
do for the moment is "more than one furry blue capuchin monkey".
khami zhaftami nuri xhan
khami zhafta-mi nuri xhan
more.than.one fur -having blue capuchin.monkey
(Thus far, I only have words for "capuchin", "baboon", and "mangabey", not
a generic word for "monkey".)
