"recording-medium"' (=human memory), MIPYPAU 'the secret part', BEVYVAU 'carry-container' (i wouldn't call this canvas bag with my stuff in it a Purse--), JIKYKEI 'socialize-player' (vs. JIGYKEI 'someone who plays to win'), DILYLOI 'cloud-floor' (what you can often see from a transatlantic flight), JADYDAI 'adorn-object', KABYBAU 'compare-language' (one way to talk about metaphor), CAFYFE'U 'often-angry one', CUNJEVYVAI 'random & important', XAGJOLYLA'E 'good-mixed with-probable', MUBYBRE 'at the point of being ready', ZUMYMLU 'the activity of seeming' (another name for Politricks), PUPYPEI 'the process of thinking' (emphasizing the nature rather than the product), SIZYZEI 'the idea of crime' (="transgression", an important component in PostModern aesthetics), XEMYMRI 'mail-carrier', ZUKYKA'E 'one who can do something' (let us not talk of "speakers"--yet), PEVYVLIPA '(fig.) "powerful", NORYRE'U 'quasi-meat' (easier than trying to coin a more literal word for "tofu"), NORYRU'I 'quasi-spirit' (use this for "ghost"), PEVYVRO '(fig.) "door"' (i.e. computer "windows"), TOLYLA'A 'unfasten', TOLYLA'E 'improbable', TOLYLAU 'soft (as in: a "soft" sound)... can anyone make a stuttering word for "stuttering word"? co'o mi'e maiky'elsym.
