Classical Tarandim:
regger , from proto-Tarandic *renkrhr , itself probably a compound of uncertain meaning: *ren probably meant 'wood, forest', *krhr seems to be an onomatopeia.
An equivalent to 'ursine' would be reggers , 'bear-like'.

I thought I had the word for "transfix", but it seems I only have for "affix", so let's try:
Hellesan:
m. rostec "transfix", lit. "truncated affix". Etymology: from rost- "truncate" + Sarden artekos "affix", (from ar- "towards" + tek- "to fix").
Next word: tundra
