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.

sakāena

one’s flesh, muscles.

In contrast to antāka, ankāena would mean ‘fleshy, having lots of flesh’ rather than ‘having muscles’.

sakīwa

one’s skin.

The animal equivalent jakīwa would mean ‘hide, skin’ and the stative ankīwa means ‘made of hide or skin’.

sakāca

one’s fingernails and toenails.

The inanimate singular of this stem, jakāca, means ‘claws’, or an animal’s fingernails and toenails. Almost all of the body-part stems have a corresponding inanimate singular for referring to an animal’s body part.

sakū

one’s hand or hands.
