ürgítörs [ˈyɾgiˌtøɾs] n. plankton

(Originally, this may well have been a calque of the term "plankton" (now supplanted by the more scientific-sounding term, "plangktons"). With the last syllable "-törs" sounding like the native, scratch-'n-sniff word for "small island", the current meaning has shifted to a patch of natural awe-inspiring bioluminescent/phosphorescent phytoplankton.)

(I'm a bit confused about what to do here... Does the word's meaning have to be modified? Does the word I provide have to be from my conlang, or can it just be completely made up? For now, I'll use a word from Lurghinian.)
