Wikilret still has a limited vocabulary. But last night at work, I
thought
of:  aza and ësa.

aza /&z&/
1. an exclamation of triumph; for example a runner winning a  race
       might shout aza as he passes the finish line or troops after a
       battle might shout aza (possibly multiple times)

2. an exclamation of contentment or bliss, a little like a sigh of
       contentment; spoken slowly and drawn out; for example, after
       a hard days work, it might be said as you slip into a hot tub or
       said after a fine meal

ësa /iS&/
1. an exclamation of frustration (similar to damn it!)
2. has come to be used as an exclamation similar to the English
      "Idiot!" or "*sshole!"
