Help your conlang fluency (2)

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I used to think that, but I've learned that it isn't always the right thing to do.

How do those words differ?
Lufai is physical exertion or challenge, tasiu is a verb meaning rest or sleep and in compound/adjective form also means lazy, zegi is a noun referring to tiredness and also means sleepy or satisfied.

There's also pezi which is more like bored and laseta, which is the mentally exhausting counterpart to lufai.

I wonder what this says about my mental state when conlanging :p

No, we must be polite and talk one after another. It's a good thing that the board software doesn't scramble our posts.
