Thanks, that's a good one. I don't know if I'll keep this, but it could be nice to derive a word like that from a pre-existing word that means "stormy waves", which is xʷoxʷà in Kuroras (I know the orthography is ugly). That could be used to make xʷuxʷâ, roughly meaning "where the waves are stormy (or choppy or just excessively high, as they often will be on a rocky coast)" (the ^ represents pharyngealization). But this would be a better word in Poswa or Pabappa than in Kuroras, since the Kuroras speakers aren't really that fond of derivations like this. So even though Poswa has very few loanwords, I will consider adding a new word fwufwa (because there's no /x/, or even /h/, in Poswa) which means "rocky, jagged, or irregular coastline". Of course, Kuroras and Poswa were spoken 4000 years apart, but the Kuroras daughter languages are extremely conservative, and very likely would not change that word at all except maybe for the tone, so all I really have to worry about is the semantics.
