ro rrotafa = interferer, close-and-blocked (-fa without wo may be a shorthand)Torco wrote:next: cock-blocker, like when another male hinders your advances towards the opposite sex.
/ro.r: o.ta.fa/ (space added to avoid smiley)
or, used as much (at least nowadays) for the general-purpose "interfering" and "obstacle" as "woman blocking your advances to the opposite sex", is
rɤ rrɤtafa
either way, if its someone who does this frequently, then hiyro rrotafa & hiyrɤ rrɤtafa (or would rohiy be better?)
hiy = iterative, plural
the /ɤt/ {fm} /ot/ {m} are optional prefixes, ...in this case, providing gender.
-fa: = likely a marker to denote closeness, intimacy, in great confidence.
Next: covert

tkeykede (t.k.ey.ke.de) = Of I {dual}
Gmarani(_)o /Gmara.ani._o/ = to go off, to beach yourselves together.{no longer in use; discouraged due to the strong association it had to one of the less savory* aspects of their past}{reconstructions differ as to what the missing letter was}
* = in the eyes of the missionaries and the diaspora, possibly because it reinforced the idea that dirt and soil are never a good place for a home, much less as the origin of mankind. a young couple would find themselves an unoccupied rise in the atoll, a home base from which they could fish and gather what they need.
formally - ulnukede wed / ulnukede kasene
ul.nu.ke.de
ulnu = definateness
kede = dual (its accompanied by a t- when there's a pronoun involved)
wed & kasasene = loan from missionaries (the latter being khasasene)
next: silk

Now have a go at fear.
esem - a more literary/almost archaic term
setses - this comes from the sound a tseun (a carnivorous bat) makes. (The equivilent of "BOO!" is "SETS!" or "SE!")
estem - This is what the Ministry of Words compromised on so that people can talk about fear without sounding like idiots.
Unnecessary:
Naoc setsesé uakoá. It's scary in here.
Uaua, ó estemace! Jesus, don't be a baby!
Sao naoc esemé ko... It is a fearful place...

/al.no.ʘi:.ni/
indefinate . fish (as their favorite fish have glowing/highly-reflective properties)
but if you want to talk about glowing fish, you have to say "ulnuʘiini" followed by the locative.
(indefinateness, with fish, addresses the glow)
Next: impact, strike, collide, hit (tk and ʘp both serve all four in my conlang - that's the sound of slapping your fist into your palm)

Ewed: bak describes a colision between two bodies of decent size (eg. two heads, fist and wall, stone and ground). Two larger objects colliding and breaking into pieces with a crunching sound is barak.Rodlox wrote:Next: impact, strike, collide, hit (tk and ʘp both serve all four in my conlang - that's the sound of slapping your fist into your palm)
To hit somebody is tsaha. With a closed fist (ie. punch) is balu (whence tsim balu, boxing, from tsim = sport). To slap sb is tcak.
Next: dishevelled, messy (of hair)
Edit: Sorry, same time. I think "song" has already been done anyway ...
Song = liaala, from laala ("sing", "singer") + the causative infix -i- meaning something to be sung.
