anehār
This is the word for liquid or fluid, as contrasted with yesterday’s word for solid.
anēta
anēta
This is the word for solid, an attribute common to many of the recent entries. 🙂 In the singular, it can also be used as a generic word for some solid thing.
sū anjēlti anwīwi āñ alxien te jēta jatēspe to jampāenten to manahan sakēwīke;
In the middle of bare wilderness, this was unexpectedly a relic of civilization, of someone’s labor.
In this sentence, te jēta jatēspe to jampāenten is parsed as SE.past (it has to be se, because of to) solid.thing remaining.thing from civilization.
This word is possibly related to the –et ending in words like ansīweta, anēkketa, and ankōreta.
ankīþa
ankīþa
I blogged jakīþa “rock, stone” earlier. This would be the stative, meaning “made of stone”.
se jōnne mo mārōni makāsāti sū ansūni ankīþi;
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
ankōreta
ankōreta
This is the word for gems and for precious metals or for any other fine and valued materials. The singular jakōreta can be used to mean gem or jewel or a piece of gold (or other precious metal).
anlūña
anlūña
And keeping with the theme, anlūña means gleaming, shiny, or bright, and refers to something that is reflecting light rather than emitting it directly.
ñatta sāen rā jaþīña sū jēwār kiē sū ankōnōri anlūñi tā;
He went along a path at the far side of the lake under the gleaming towers.
anlū
anlū
Since I mentioned anlūi yesterday, this is the stative form, which means light, lit, or shining. It also appears sometimes in the singular.
te jalū jalō nā ñe malō;
The light was brighter than the sun.
anxēla
anxēla
Speaking, of shadows, anxēla is the word for dark or darkness. This word is the opposite of anlūi or “light”. Darkness can be either stative or singular, but light is generally collective.
rā anxēla mē makkāontien
And in the darkness bind them
anniþen ñi jaxēla janāra;
Soon it became complete darkness.
antēña
antēña
antēña refers to something thin, long, and/or narrow. So jaxōññāoni jalōnni jatēñi is “thin veins of gold” as might appear in marble. It also refers to the sixth or last phase of the moon, the thin sliver or crescent before a new moon. I still do not know how many moons I have, but at least I have words for the phases. 🙂
antēwre
antēwre
antēwre means thick or fat, and so is the appropriate word for the fourth phase of a moon, the full moon.
The fifth phase of the moon is antēta, which also means “old” as in useless. The fifth phase goes from a waning gibbous moon to the last quarter.
anrūna
anrūna
Since I mentioned the first phase of the moon yesterday, here is the word for the second phase. anrūna refers to the first sliver after a new moon. It is also the word used for anything that has come back into view after being obscured.
There are six phases of the moon in all. The third one covers the first quarter to a waxing crescent moon. The word for that is anmēλa, which also means “young“.
