They seem fairly clear to me, except for where some IPA letters
are showing up as little squares in my browser.  I'll try coining a
few words; let me know if I get anything wrong.

Feel free to coin some words and show me whether my
description is clear enough.  I'll even give you some meanings
I've been meaning to make words for and haven't got around
to yet:

dismay at realizing someone has misunderstood everything you've said
home built by its current residents (incl. beaver dam, spider web,
bird nest, some people houses)
authority, expert opinion, authoritativeness
to act as agent or intermediary for someone
straight (non-crooked)
whistling, whining, high-pitched sound
thick; fat
balance, equilibrium
to scratch, to scrape
