        Vaior is also fairly fussy about this distinction.  Quoted
from the primer:

------------------------------
 Good. There is no single word for "good" in Vaior. In English, the
word covers a lot of ground, with meanings from "pleasant" to
"ethical" which is quite a stretch. In Vaior, you must choose the
correct one:

     LAM for "skillful, functional, appropriate for a function"
     SEN for "ethical, nice, kind"
     VALD (valda) for "pleasant"

 Most of the time when you want to say say "good" during a
conversation mostly as filler, you should normally use
vald
