jasūmārwe

jasuumaarwe

jasūmārwe

the feeling that one has finished a search or a journey and now one is done and can move on to the next thing. In Kēlen culture, the feeling one has when one realizes that one is at the end of one’s period of anrāona. il anrāona is the period of wandering that a Kēleni youth experiences at the start of adulthood to see the world and to experience the different areas one could live and professions one could work in.

That’s the end of the emotion words, for the most part. Next, we have words for experiencing, thinking, and knowing, which are considered to be antōli as well.
