Re: CHAT Re: Can't stop agulunating, HELP!

Agulunulative.  ah-gu-'LUNE-yoo-la'tiv.

Okay, here's a great new word in search
of a meaning.  It needs to be broken down into its
parts, though:  to lunulate; I'm sure this must mean
to howl in the light of the moon, especially with one of
those wavering howls.  Agu is anybody's guess as well as
mine, but I think it could mean "to do something with a
cold."  So: agulunulative means given to howling like
a siren by moonlight with a stuffy nose.  It's quite an
eery thing.  Even wierder are the people given to it.

So you saw my "hirie," did you?  heh heh... It was very naughty of me.
I have quite a little lexicon growing of words from other people's
conlangs.  Does anybody else do this?

Hirie, from Valdyan:  "nyah nyah."  Ex.  "Hirie, I told you so."
Smalk, from Draseleq: "skeleton."  Ex.  That's a smalk idea!
                (meaning ghostly and dreadful and cool)
Kemet, from Tokana: a collection of objects that whirl around and
        take off, like blown leaves or flocks of birds.
                        Ex.  "My mind is in a kemet of confusion."
Lamay, from Denden: a charming, naughty little poem or lay:
                Ex.  "Sing me a lamay, darling."

(Bear in mind, that their induction into Teonaht changes their original
meaning somewhat.  Maybe even their spelling: smalk-->smalik in T.)

What other cool words have you noted from other people's conlangs?
I seem to remember "vrindo" from I've forgotten whom.  It sounds VERY
Teonaht, which is why I noted it.
