Dreamlandic

bue ō emu ōnu seri elenu, an umbrella. A soft object (bue) which protects humans' heads (emu) from rain (ele). Though given the climate they might be expected to follow the parasol model and use umbrellas to protect from sunburn, i still think the rain metaphor makes more sense right now ... it may simply change meaning later.

𝚚𝙵𝚋𝚖𝚐

# Pronunciation

huff, late falling weakening whine, short low strong grunt, short low weak growl
# Etymology

from [[𝚚𝙵𝚋]] (to jump) + [[‑𝚖]] (customary verb suffix).
# Definition

## Noun

a jumper, a type of four-wheeled combat vehicle able to jump into the air by rapidly pushing the wheels downward.

# Lore

Jumpers are a compromise between a conventional wheeled vehicle and a mech. Like a mech, jumpers have some vertical mobility, often able to hover and climb vertical surfaces in addition to jumping. They lack a mech's versatile prehensile extremities, but the pilot need not undertake the additional training to learn how to control a mech's paws and tail.

scéliun [ˈskeːlɪ̯ʉn] - acne
tuveló [ˌtuːʋəloː] - acne

Etymology I: portmanteau from scelad "skin" + yéliun "moon", literally "moon skin", due to the craters on the moon.
Etymology II: lexicalized collective form of tuvel "pimple"

USAGE NOTE: Both words can be used mostly interchangably in colloquial language. In a more formal context, scéliun is usually preferred.

In summer I've got terrible acne on my back. Sometimes I cannot wear a backpack or sleep on my back because it's too painful.

New word for the example sentence:
baraniys [bɐˈɾaːna̯iːs] - on the back (physical position)
Etymology: from baran "back" + aniys "side"

New grammatical structure:
In a negative sentence, the word ùpa "or" won't be used anymore to concatenate two negated verbs. Instead, the classifier cou "not either" is preceded to the second verb form.
