Poswa: the most common word is bampta , which etymologically means "deep tree" (as in deep in the Earth). This doesnt really distinguish it from any other tree but it was convenient at one time when almost all trees had some similar name. There are also a lot of names for individual types of mushrooms, since the Poswobs eat a lot of them, such as biželli "springy", which do not hjave the -ta suffix. Dictionaries also list the word paba , but it is not in common uise because it has a lot of other meaniungs including the capital city of the southern Empire.
Pabappa: panta , pampana , pielli , all of which have the same meaning of mushrooms in general. Pampana is related to a slang word for penis but i forgot the original etymology of that. It may have been mushroom before it was penis, or it may have been a tree=related word used metaphorically in both cases.
