Re: Lexicon Building
Poswa: pubžiblob — pubži "to reunite" (from pop "twins, two symmetrical pieces" + labe "to return") + blob "date, appointment". One can also say pubžipavba if you're specifically referring to a married couple who've been separated because, e.g. the husband's been away for years and they haven't seen each other in a long time. Pavba is a compound of pape "marriage" and bamma "date, appointment (archaic)" plus a bunch of sound changes.GrinningManiac wrote: Next word - a reunion/to reunite

Poswa libaeka, Pabappa libapa (ler), both descended from a phrase meaning literally "grasping air", as if expecting something to be there where nothing actually is. liba = air, -ʷaik- = an infix historically meaning to grasp onto something.

Pabappa: pibi or pibup lumpa, but the latter may be a typo for pibup lubum
Khulls: sìmpʷà ... if we assume it was taken as a single morpheme 4000 years ago instead of a compound of sí "spider" and bʷà "maze" ... which is simpler but not as interesting. In Moonshine sìmpʷà would appear as sūb.
