New Latejami words from 2012/06/08



Rick Morneau last published an update of his Latejami dictionary on June 8, 2012. I neglected to add the changes to the Saweli dictionary that resulted. 

Here are the Latejami changes and the current Saweli equivalents, where applicable. 

 

added 'assail' to definition of "zobusa". [tu'atrov, 'attack, assail']

changed "bun" 'dangerous' to "bun" 'danger'. [-ta-]

changed 'complaint' from "bontegenvi" to "fyutegenvi". [tavonfot]

changed definition of "fufusi" from 'plow, tiller' to 'toothbrush', a new word [ne'egyisot]. 'plow, tiller' becomes "fujayfusi" [ne'eplat]. changed etymology too.
