next word: to percolate

Thurzjeisern [ˈɵʊʀ̩ʒɛːˈzɛʀn] v.t. to percolate, to sink through (thur "through" + zjeisern "to sink")

Next word: holy

wow, you have [8] for ‹Th›??

*shakes fist at Corel*

That thing looks like a theta in WordPerfect...

No, it's just a boring, ordinary [θ~ð].

I do have an absurd number of ways of spelling /ʒ/, though -- ‹d g gn j il sj zj› can all be pronounced thusly under certain circumstances (or always for ‹gn zj›), though /ɛː/ rivals it with ‹e, eh, ê, ei, ey, ai, ay› (‹e› only before single consonants in stressed syllables, though).

next word: to percolate

Thurzjeisern [ˈɵʊʀ̩ʒɛːˈzɛʀn] v.t. to percolate, to sink through (thur "through" + zjeisern "to sink")

Next word: holy

wow, you have [8] for ‹Th›??

Or more likely θ was meant instead of ɵ, which is one of the main reasons I used to stick with X-Sampa. I just assumed he meant T, since it was an elipse with a line through it and <th> often is used for /T/.

[Christopher Schröder]

Also, look at where they put the blasted thing!

Naturally, but sarcasm is often the best way to point these things out.

My suggestion is to create your own keyboard.

Lest we forget, next word: bed covers

[Acid Badger]

krepaonos bed covers from krepe "Bed" and onos "cloth"

Next: bubble

[daryush]

tseqer

Next word: genetics

[Izambri]

f. erneghinea

Etymology: erneche- "origin" (from Sarden ernechis "genesis", from Meg. erneh-, from Sing. ergh- "genesis", "origin", "beginning") + -ghinea "science" (from Sarden ginea "science", "measured knowledge").

Next word: parallax

[din]

I think that'd just be 'parallax'. But /ks/ is not a legal final cluster, so it could be Tormiott-ised into parallacsa /'paɾaˌl:aksa/.

I wouldn't even know where to begin coining a word for that. Distance-speed? Condomoin (meaning distance, from cond- {prefix} = elsewhere and moin = walk) and Odaroha (meaning speed, from oda- {prefix} = likeness, similarity and roha = white-tailed eagle.

So... Condomoinodaroha? /ˌkon:o'məjnˌoða'roɦa/

Yeah, I'll probably go for parallacsa.

Thanks for the challenge though. Made me come up with words for distance and speed, which turned out to be tougher than I thought. Especially finding a quick bird that could fly over my con-country took a while.

Next word: Barbecue (or something similar)

[maıráí]

murksletamha - "meat cooking in a pit" pit referring to the bowl part of a grill

next word: arcology

We should do a simple word and a complex word each time.

[Christopher Schröder]

Naturesepijteisme n.f. (Nature "nature" + sepijt- "build" + -isme a derivational morpheme) -- Arcology
Arcologie n.f. (phonetic borrowing)

Next Word: Porcelain

[prickly pear]

There is no real word for porcelain in Chatter. There's a word for ceramics:

daiti kosi "cooked dirt"

The only way to refer to porcelain is indirectly:

daiti (kosi) pa olya di tsa "(cooked) dirt for tea pots"

Next word: controversy, scandal

[daryush]

buutsuk

Next word: moisturizer

[Foolster41]

Shasesteha

Shase = Water
s = verb form
teha = it, thing, thus making it a noun again.

Literaly "Wetting thing", or I guess it could be rendered as "drinking thing" since shases is also to drink, but context would make it work.

Next word: Bridge (I havn't read this whole thread, so if it's been done, feel free to suggest a new one)

[Acid Badger]

mosta

Next Word: traditional

[maıráí]

ose - o, an honorific, and se 'old'
osé - 'traditional'

semoí - 'traditional'
semoié - the "grammatically correct" form of semoí

Uan semoí sensur, luacavau. This is traditional (and old) clothing, be careful with it.

O' rei semoinan, rei uanan. Don't do it the old way, do this.
Ose navva taibon. The old way is better.

next word: clock and/or timer

[Christopher Schröder]

next word: clock and/or timer

Inaugre n.f. -- clock (as a piece of furniture)
Horiloge n.f. -- watch
Horologie n.f. -- clock (in a generic sense)

(The first is a corruption of Hungarian ingaóra, the second a borrowing from French of an older form of modern horloge, and the third a Latin term, which, like most other neuter nouns of classical origin, has inexplicably become feminine.)

Edit: Forgot one for "Timer"

Hûrre n.f. -- timer

(This one was originally Uhre, but was somehow recreated on the pattern of words like Flûra and Flûte and gained an initial <h> by confusion with Heurre, meaning "hour" and all those other words relating to timepieces with initial h, in all of which it is silent.)
