Next word: patent medicine, substance which does not possess the properties it is advertised to have

eiguerea - "snake oil", patent medicine, literally "sea turtle blood" after the famous case of the Bahan (≈ emperor) Pelu IV. One of Bahan Pelu's imperial concubines was, unusually, dismissed from her role and, apparently feeling jilted, went on to publicly perform a theatrical piece in which she outed the Bahan as both impotent and poorly endowed. For this dishonour, she was sentenced to le xagu (execution by being pressed face down into mud) and then the Bahan retorted with a popular counter-performance in which his actors extolled the wonders of sea turtle blood as a natural booster of virility. His concubines backed up his story and sea turtle blood briefly became popular as a kind of non-functioning placebo Viagra and was sold for exorbitant prices. Because of the difficulty in collecting sea turtle blood, some simply sold goats blood. This craze lasted until the Bahan suddenly died and several of the remaining concubines staged a show in which they claimed that the sea turtle blood had never worked in the first place and told that they had backed up the Bahan's story out of fear of le xagu.

Nice answer, I think that's the most detailed response so far.

Poswa tiffateppti essentially "hanging(v) rope" although just teppti would do.
Pabappa wunudepa where the first morpheme is different and the second is the same.

Neither of these cultures use hanging as a punishment but they used to in the distant past and it is referenced in their religious texts. In fact their religion's closest equivalent of Satan tried to have his (human) wife hung for disobedience, but she was rescued and sent out an army against him.

next: downtown, central focus point of a city
