@Travotavo,

The word kem is completely unrelated.

@paarthurnax I definitely feel that that is much better. I was trying to go with the entirely original approach, because I assumed that was what you meant in your earlier post, but that works great. Nox!

has anyone suggested bogin for embark? i use the root word fly but added spice since gin has no meaning but sound similar to begin in english. could also use alternates of it as well, such as bogiin or ginbo, giinbo. they arent compounds to my knowledge unless your counting the pause between sylables.

another idea for embark could be guth or guuth using root word begin with command only i took out the on in gon. ik thats mashing words together but you said simple and i really liked druth for the one added.

could try bovath meaning to fly early then again its a compound :(  an alteration of it could be bovaath.

gezunun-To emerge, I was thinking that it would be similar to genun, to appear.

I was thinking of gonaasa for to embark unless someone's beaten me to it.  I was using the translator and a thesaurus to find synonyms for embark and ended up with begin and commence.  After skimming through the grammar guide for the part on making a verb into an infinitive form, it looked almost natural for me to add the -a suffix.

@Soulrider,

The -a won't be necessary.

Lifstaad, literally means 'Leave Place'. This would work well for 'To emerge, Come out from.'

We should keep a trend of staying away from compound words.

Yes, but combining two established words to reach the required meaning is much easier than attempting to craft a whole new word for a language such as this.

Then we'll do it the hard way. We already have some great, non-compound words on the list.

@Paalkriiokaaz,

1. Hard work begets greatness. Taking the easy way isn't how we advance.

2. There is absolutely no difficulty in making a unique, thoughtful, non-compound word if one takes some time to actually think about it. Especially for a language such as this.

Glif or gliif might be possible for 'embark.'  There aren't any canon words that start with gl, though, so it might be less common, and giif is 'sake.'  Don't know if that's important.

Veim for 'emerge' as a kind of opposite to 'fade,' which is feim.  The sounds /f/ and /v/ are made at the same part of the mouth with upper teeth and lower lip, but /v/ has voicing and /f/ is silent, which represents the essence of the words as coming into or out of being.
