I have both |lâkne| and |lun| listed here next to |lâmdé|, but what
distinction I was trying to draw between "lamp" and "lantern"  I cant
begin to remember (electric vs non-electric?  portable vs static?  being
mainly an object with a light associated vs mainly a light with enough
object to contain it?).  They're cognate, the first being yoinked from
Greek |lúkhnos| and the second native from *lowksneH2.

sunlight specifically
   - bluke hovné'f
     /'vlukE 'o:nef/
       (bluke = glow, light from incandescence, < IE *bhluk-wo-)
       (hovné = sun, < some weird form of IE *suH2e:l)
       ('f possessive)

The only line I already have a word for is the feline (élle, /'ellE/)
And I dont appear to be in a logopoetic mood atm.  :|
