So is Senjecas, based as it is on Pokorny's PIE lexicon & on other
proto-languages. But in the Senjecan conculture, it is the Ursprache.

There are two words for "imagine" in Senjecas:

lâcwa, 1) t.v. mask, disguise, pretend, feign, simulate, make out. 2)
i.v. mask, pretend, feign, make believe, imagine.

mîna, 1) t.v. believe (in), think, assume, imagine, deem, hold (to
be), consider; mean, intend. 2) i.v. be of the opinion, think,
presume, imagine, deem; mean, intend.

I took "religion" from Pokorny's root "jeunis, jounis," meaning
angewiesener Stätte and richtiger Weg.

Thus "joûnos" (concrete) means designated-, allotted-, -place, and
joûnas, (abstract) means right-, true-, -way, religion.
