@Mirkrilaar about 'embark': Since a Dovah wouldn't likely be getting on a boat, maybe there is a word for 'lifting off the ground'/'taking flight' that could contribute as a root word or double meaning.

That was just the French translation, which is why I changed it for that reason.

@Mirkrilaar I didn't mean to criticize. On the contrary, I was saying we could use the equivalent concept.

I didn't take it as criticism at all! I was saying that since it kind means that there is travel involved, we relate it to the word for "travel". It doesn't neccessarily need to refer to ships or boats.

@Mirkrilaar ah, I get it. Sorry about that. That's a great idea. Perhaps there is a way to use both 'travel' & 'lift/take off'. Any preferences?

Is there a verb prefix for 'begin'? (As in "begin to 'verb'")

@Cinnamon Tiger,

I have added the word meyzah "to emerge" to my list. I also find the word bokur to be worthy, unless there are any final suggestions on the matter.

I've just noticed that two of the words meyzah "to emerge" and meyzahmiik "troublesome" are very similar, even though they come from different words (meyz "to become" and mey "fool"). Perhaps meyzahmiik should change slightly to something like meygahmiik or meydahmiik.

I agree with meydahmiik

Im in favor of 'Meydahmiik'

Actually, think about this. (I'm not great at explaining, so bear with me.) When some trait emerges from a person, we are suddenly able to define them with it. 

When humility emerges, we are able to call that person humble. When deviant behavior emerges, we can call them troublesome. It makes sense for emerge and troublesome to have commonalities.

I see that it gives them both the same root word, but there are several examples of this already, aren't there?

I'm in favour of Bokur over Bokir.

That makes so much sense I can't even believe it. But that still means that every single word that describes a trait should be simmiliar (I can't spell) to meyzah. While it is a great idea, it would take a lot of work.

@TheFemaleCharlie,

@TheFemaleCharlie,

Emerge is a very broad word that we can't really define exactly. Especially as something as farfetched as personality traits.

Eh, it was worth a shot. 

I do wonder when we are going to get a word for "emerge" approved...
