Re: Weekly Vocab #1.2.1 (repost #1)

I must have ignored much of this the first time round....

Some items are still not possible.

> > 1. crowd
Neutral: pangaçu, which seems to be a compd of pando- many + kaç 'person;
people' + the pej. suffix (why?) -çu; perhaps because Kash consider some
crowds unpleasant?

Others:
kambamara-marak 'angry crowd, mob', agent noun < marak 'angry'
ilongo 'crowded but fun, like a good party, street-fair etc., lots of
interesting things going on'
cakafocip 'crowded, jammed'-- like, packed in like sardines :-) < focip
'touch, abut'

> > 2. lead
basic verb: saren
> > She led her dog into the field.
> > Her dog was on a lead.
There are no pets, so no need for "leads"; a farm animal would probably be
"pulled/led with a rope"

> > The pipes are made of lead.
kerekoram (shd. be kerekorem) keret 'metal' + horem 'dead'-- no longer
satifies me; we'll probably introduce a Gwr loanword.
> >
> > 3. ready
haram

> > He's ready to go now.
yaharam yacosa

Some inchoative forms could have the sense 'ready to...'
> >
> > 4. slow
fanan
> > Snails are slow.
ain't no snails...yet
> > He runs slowly, and I bet he won't win the race.
fanan yamani, facimi cakenda liri añamani
slow run-his, bet-my ACCID-defeat w.r.t. race-its/his/the

No word yet for win...

> >
> > 5. rent
sema, noun atema

> > I have to pay rent on the 5th of every month.
macayi mahanga atema(-ni,-mi) lero nim açuçurak
I-must I-pay  rent(the, me) day 5 REDUP-month
> >
> > 6. popularity
We didn't find this then....I think:
samar 'everyday, common' > sama-samandri (/sama-samar+ni/) but it needs
thought.........

> > 7. -ion
> > two parts here: first, how are verbal nouns formed?
> >    act > action, move > motion, see > vision.
usu. by adding prefix añ- to the verb base
> > second, the sentence:
> >    His action was hasty.
     ambepuni cakaniçur (cakuluñ)  (añ+mepu 'to do, act'
action-his  rash/foolhardy (too quick)
> >
> > 8. addition (technically akambos < hambos 'add, mix')
> > Even the addition of an extra student increased class sizes beyond
> > tolerable limits.
One would probably use the verbal form, something like 'even if one
added.....
> >
> > 9. hat
Kash don't wear hats (their ears would get in the way)
> > Today is a say-something hat day!
letrayu, endo elimbemim çindi uçombim!!
today, may.it-be clothing.our speak for.us[=our benefit/behalf]
> >
> > 10. pack
Probably "to fill" [suitcase] or an idiom of some sort...
> > I need to pack for my trip.
As noun: epilan (< filan 'carry') is generic for small bags, purses, etc.--
epilan elimbe '...clothing' could be compounded to epindimbe (maybe + -rak
'big', epindimbrak), the colloquialized to something like epindipi,
pindiprak etc.

> > The pack she wore on the trip was way too heavy.
epiluno (< carry all) refers to a large shoulder-bag or tote-bag; I'm not
sure ordinary people would use it as a back-pack; soldiers might, but that's
getting into specialized vocab. :-)))))

kanjun is any grinding device; cangacun, spec., millstone (both < cun 'imit.

Now this we have!! kaket 'linked/joined together (logically or
mechanically); interconnected' and derivs. The accidental form is a favorite
of mine: cakaket 'of a device or situation, very complex, difficult to
puzzle out because of many interconnections'
