talenarksas --> Does this cover relatives, too?

How about a word for a type of extremely vivid dream wherein you agschully DO make contact, e.g. you remember the conversation almost verbatim, their smell, their touch, their hug?

A kind of talenarksas-fulfillment of sorts.

Kankonian:

tzintairak: African butterfly cichlid (Anomalochromis) (tzin, tea + tairak, fish)

dazyau: or, because then (daz, because; because of + yau, then (apodosis)). This word is used in sentences like:

Is os wahazas uhu geye*itz, dazyau is ikhazizek horkhara we.
1s NEG be_able_to-PRS go outdoors because-then 1s freeze-PSV-STAG fatal ADV
I can't go outside or I'll freeze to death. / I can't go outside because then I'll freeze to death.

This is used with the stagnative tense (although I've come to wonder more and more if stagnative is really a mood, especially with the way I've been expanding its uses.) Unlike khat (lest), it's used when someone said s/he can't do something in the first clause.

poskmeya (pl. poskmeyez): band person (member of a band, usually a young person who is in a garage band) (posk, band + meya, person)

zentenzneshi: swidden (zentenz, to raze + neshi, ground)

forsihumbar: launch (captain's boat) (forsi, head, lead (adj.) + humbar, boat)

kogazhdos: wireless earbuds

khorpos: bushcraft knife

yetzuwasamaut: bushcraft (yetzuwa, nature + samaut, to take to heart, to heed)

okvoprok: sheathbill (borrowing of local name)

dosptos: knack, crispbread
