nextː manure

Carinnaha:

manure: vril bvni [βɾil pəβni] "animal feces"

next: tofu

[din]

Tormiott:

Since the closest I can get to tofu is /ˈtohuː/ (tohou), which isn't the most natural combination of sounds in my conlang, I decided to go for a little more creative option:

soiatgoume ˈsʊjaˌtʕuːmə (n) tofu
- soia ˈsʊja (n) soy; soy bean
- tgoume ˈtʕuːmə (n) cheese {earlier: *tgounem}

Next: shovel

[din]

Damn, I spent some time thinking about a suitable etymology of this word, and somewhere along the way I must have mixed something up, because I ended up with:

snadida ˈsnɛðɪða (n) spade
- {active participle of *snida, from ON sníða, to cut}


So... shovel. Right.

celthog ˈkəlθoː (v) to shovel; to clear, to move something out of the way (masses, piles; also sometimes figuratively); (n) shovel
- {cel- (pref) from one place to another, from beginning to end + thog (v) to push, to shove; to push something forward}

Next: Earth/the world

[din]

Tormiott:

pied /pjən/ (n) world, planet earth (compare miunt) {from ON bjǫð, ground, flat land}
