Cathbad wrote: Next: shark
Icastrian has a few words for shark. The general and scientific word is horaig [ˈhɔɾajj]. Another is förtenano [ˈfœr̥tʃəˌnano], literally "sea-bear." This term is mostly used in coastal areas where fishing and whaling are primary economic activities, as sharks are minor sacred animals in the professional-religious traditions of fishermen and whalers. In the navy, where a very different professional-religious tradition predominates, sharks are seen as loathsome creatures that portend calamity; sailors know sharks as förteangrou [ˈfœr̥tʃˌaŋgrʌʊ] (sg. förteanger [ˈfœr̥tʃˌaŋgɛr̥]), literally "sea-demons."

Poswa:

besfap = league, religious sect (religions and political parties are generally the same thing on this planet)
piššep = the government

piššwes petem besfap = (a/the) religion supported by the government
(piššwesfap for short)

piššep besfwap petembwob = (for) the government to stop supporting a religion

piššep besfwap petembworpete = to support (the idea of) a government no longer supporting a religion

piššep besfwap petembworieše = to oppose (the idea of) a government no longer supporting a religion

piššep besfwap petembworieše bumbem = antidisestablishmentarianism

But most likely if this became a commonly used phrase it would be shortened by piššwesfap bumbem, "the alliance (in favor of) the established religion", or at least piššep besfap bumbem.

Pabappa would most likely just loan everything letter for letter from Poswa, but if it were native it could be something like pisep perap pimpem.
