suggestions more sense related words

Rick,
Here are some more suggestions for words related to the senses. 

venze-eye
vezdi-see
vete-looking like
vensa-lit
veski-read

vonze-skin
*vozdi-feel (by touch)
*vote-having texture like, having feel of
*vonsa-rough (in texture)
*voski-reading braille?

funze-tongue
*fuzdi-taste
fute-tasting like
**funsa-tasteful (currently means "heavy")
fuski-eat

*finze-ear
*fizdi-hear
*fite-sounding like
finsa-loud
*fiski-?listen to?

*??nze-nose
*??zdi-smell
*??te-smelling like
*??nsa-smelly
*??ski-breathe

*menze-skin (as heat sensor)
*mezdi-sense temperature of
*mete-having temperature of
mensa-hot
*meski-???

Based on the current dictionary, the only conflict is "funsa". 
Other possible words are "bizdi"-"sense (in general), "kozdi"-"sense (by thoughts; telepathy?)"

I'm basically using the meanings:
X-nze - sensory organ X
X-zdi - sense (using sensory organ X)
X-te - similar to, using sense X
X-nsa - having/emitting stimuli for sense X
X-ski - taking in substance or information via pathway of sense X

Then there are other kinds of stimuli that people and animals don't normally sense directly: other electromagnetic radiation, particle radiation, infra/ultrasound, electric and magnetic fields, etc.

Then there are words for NOT having a particular sense:  deaf, blind, 'blind' to other types of stimuli.
