Kala Lexical Participation Thread
Kala Lexical Participation Thread
...
A few years back, when Qatama was my main project, I posted the phonotactical guide and asked people to recommend definitions and make words...well, with Kala I already have a list of lemma...so, I though maybe people would want to suggest some definitions.
If you think the definition might already exist, simply use the Ctrl F, or whatever search function you use, to find that word. Feel free to suggest words that are not "one-to-one". I have, for example, nipa - to stretch the back by extenting one leg at a time, and huku - to politely wait for everyone to sit before sitting.
Thanks, and have fun.

OK, everything suggested has been added and the page updated. I sorted it in an almost categorical way...to make it easier to search for lemma. The undefined words are toward the bottom.
Thanks again, guys.
