Let's see. I already have

anen [ˈanə] n. 1. line 2. argument; line of reasoning
minen ['mɪnə] n. 1. point 2. conclusion; consequence

so how about "plane" for the general or broad concept of an argument?

mimit [ˈmɪmɪt] adj. flat
> mimitie [ˈmɪmɪtsʲ] n. 1. plane; plateau 2. background; vibe; general or broad concept

Both minen and mimitie can be used to speak about the "main idea" of an utterance, with the former conveying precision and the latter conveying approximation.

Next word: legal guardian (someone who is responsible for a "minor" but is not necessarily related to them)

Lirsh (a descendant of my first language I posted a while back on this forum) has:

pidiyáyan /pɪdɪj'ɑːjən/ - lit. „child caretaker“ - refers to the (de facto) guardian of the child. Also means „parent“.

khark /xɑːrk/ - „legal“

So: pe pidiyáyan khark = „the legal guardian"
