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.

Probably a typo for investigate. The "swap and remove" type of typo, along the lines of 'ecomoic' for economic. In fact I almost typed "investiage" right now. Anyway, Poswa doesnt have a word that specifically means investigate, but it does have maebae "watch for", and ina and žetšo "search for", and pibis and plopiub which mean "to spy while invisible". Oddly, I thought I had even more near-synonyms but they're just not there.

next word: farm animal (in general)

High Eolic's closest bet would probably be rúc, which can be used to refer to animals in general, but more in the sense of "beasts" or "predators". In a more abstract way, it can also mean "nature" (ie. anything not directly produced by humans).

As for the "farm" aspect, one could use humbert, which has a range of meanings from "bored" to "placid" to "comfortable" (in a given environment), but can also mean "domesticated".

So: rúca-humbertas.

Next word: full, filled up (or any relevant verbal root, etc.)

eproze-Unconcerned with the affairs of others; hipster-like, loner-like; showing neutral intent (in a political sense). Originating from Teronese: sprosel-uncaring, which is an affixation of the word root spro- being the stem of "callousness" and -sel an adjectivizer used for people. On a side note, espro- has been adapted as a prefix meaning "malignant or non-effective"
