sawūta
one’s feces or shit. This is a bad word in Kēlen.
sarēxa
sarēxa
one’s urine or piss.
The bodily fluids are generally classed as body parts and thus obligatorily possessed. But there are some dialects that class these as collective nouns (like most other liquids).
sawūna
sawūna
one’s sweat;
sapāla
sapāla
one’s tears.
ñi sapāla sū anxūri hāl sū jēwāri nū;
He wept in front of the gates beside the lakes.
samāna
samāna
one’s blood.
The inanimate collective anmāni would refer to a quantity of blood without reference to any human origin.
ñi sāen samāna;
She is bleeding.
tamma samāna;
She gave blood.
sawāla
sawāla
one’s senses.
There are four senses. They are: sakerōñ sight, vision; sakexīr hearing; sakehūñ smell and taste; and sakekīwwe touch. These words are used when referring to the actual sense. Otherwise one experiences with one’s eyes, ears, nose or mouth, and skin or hands:
tele jāo mo lerōña;
I saw that.
tele jāo mo lesāra;
I heard that.
la sakexīr jakāpa;
Her hearing is bad.
sasōna
sasōna
one’s brain; what one thinks with, one’s mind.
The Kēleni do, however, think that thinking happens in the brain. sasōna does not cover all of our meanings of mind. It does not contrast with body, it is a part of the body. It is these days seen as where senārre manifests itself, at least partially.
samālle and samāca
samālle
one’s heart.
samāca
one’s liver.
In English, the heart is where one feels emotions, particularly love. The liver, not so much. Other cultures do it differently. I have no idea how the Kēleni divide these things up. I would love to know how exactly other cultures and con-cultures view the heart, liver, whatever in terms of emotions and judgment and thoughts.
sakerēl
sakerēl
one’s lungs.
Lungs sort of come as a pair. A single lung is sakerēl jaþēlle. jaþēlle refers to a part of something, but only in a limited sense. For instance, samālle jaþēlle would refer to a chamber of one’s heart, sasāra jaþēlle to one’s earlobe, and anmārwi jaþēlle to a hemisphere of the planet.
samōla
samōla
one’s womb or uterus.
A woman who has given birth, and is now considered ‘mature’, can be called mamōlanen.
