Re: Weekly vocab #3

Haha, I also have many of these.

>    1. doctor / healer
wuthen (an agentive of the next word, with a nonproductive stem vowel
change)

>    2. medicine
wutha

>    3. ear
kel (U-class)

>    4. eye
ona

>    5. friend
anath

>    6. itch and/or scratch
tus (U-class. This is the noun "an itch", and there's a couple of related
words)

>    7. hurt / pain (the verb ... or not)
vurith (the noun)
vurithya (the verb "to feel pain)

>    8. diagnosis
wuthapelasí (a compound, lit. "medicine-saying")
wuthapeyya "to diagnose" (the related verb)

>    9. cure / heal
well, "to heal" is "wuthya", the verb form of the noun "medicine" given
above.  But "wuthya" is really more like "to practice medicine on," and
doesn't necessarily mean that the person is made better.  For that use:

tuanya "to make well"

>    10. ill
karil < kara "illness"
