Re: Lexicon Building
Since you didn't give a new word, I'll choose, and do, the next one, which will be rain, since you wrote about a rainforest.
Vanga:
míjja; rain; shower (broad /ˈmiːjːa/, main dialect [ˈmʊːjːɑ]) (dictionary entry)
Next word: to listen (to)

Oh, sorry! Didn't see that! Would've taken that instead of rain if I had seen it.Christopher Schröder wrote:Next Word: Assassin, Hitman since it was unfortunately skipped over.
I don't think it's that fitting a word for my culture, though, so I'll let someone else take it.

Re: Lexicon Building
Poswa: tšušibi "to hatch and then kill" because of the way assassins hide in harmless objects such as trees and then come out and immediately fire their weapon. Sometimes tšuširafe is used to give more emphasis to the "kill" part of the word, which is mostly obsolete. Even though there are no guns or other such weapons on my conworld, it is still possible for someone with good shooting skill to kill from a distance.
Pabappa: pubapuradi "hidden killing" ... the same idea but with different morphemes and without the past tense infix that Poswa uses.
next: to jump with all four legs
