Vanga:
1. nýkt- (nýkt-dd-); to power; to turn on (transitive) [nyːxt], [nyːxt-ðː-]
Etymology
From the word ný-g- (ný-ks-), originally meaning 'to burn' and formerly mostly being used of volcanic things such as lava, which by extension has gotten the sense 'to be powerful' or 'to give power' ('to power', intransitively) (having yielded words such as nýhs, which originally meant, and still means, 'lava' and 'magma' as well as 'volcanic rock', [and the relative clause 'which is powerful/burning/gives power', intransitively] and now also means 'battery') used together with the causative (sometimes reflexive) suffix -dd((y)dd).
2. nýg- (ný-ks-); to power; to turn on; to be powerful; to burn (intransitive) [nyːɣ], [nyː-ks̻-]
Etymology
Same as above, but without the causative suffix.
Next:lava; magma

1. ýs(t)-tųw- æiji; "not possible to explain" [ˈyːs̻tːʊ̃w ˈæ͡ɪjɯ]
Etymology
From the word ús(k)- meaning 'to be bright', either through ablaut turned into ýs(k)-, or with the with the causative (sometimes reflexive), also ablauting, suffix -dd((y)dd), giving ýskt-(dd), both formations meaning 'to illuminate' and by extension 'to explain', used together with the word tųw meaning 'to be possible' or 'to be able' and slightly simplified phonetically. The negative particle æiji is then used, since negatives can not be incorporated in Vanga.
Next:nostalgic; dreamy (yielding happy or sad or even bittersweet or indescribable feelings through thoughts of the past)
EDIT:
Haha. Indescribable feelings... Didn't even think of that when I wrote it.

both meaning "cage paper" where the word for cage is from "to bite" since cages are what let animals see out without being able to stick out their mouth and bite you
