yéhnār - husband

[gestaltist]

taʕǝ

I like the word taʕǝ and its meaning a lot - with your permission, I might 'borrow' it into proto-Qutrussan as *ta:ʕa with a similar meaning...

Thanks Davush. Sure you can use it. It's not like Nakarian is patented or something.

Lexember 19 - Nakarian

Spoiler:

Continuing the theme. You probably noticed ta- is the class prefix mostly used for plants. Here, we'll have the class prefix used as a root and reduplicated for a collective meaning.

tara - plants, bush, overgrowth, flora
