So apparently I missed the memo at first that we're constructing these words through communal discussion rather than the "Submit New Word" function - my apologies to whoever handles those! But anyway, might I be allowed to join this most interesting of discussions, and toss in a new word for consideration?
I thought to tackle the verb/noun for a tail strike, and immediately wondered, what would a tail strike remind the dov of, in a visceral sense? After much scribbling and word-combing, I ran across Thul "Thunder," and I thought it fit - it's loud, abrupt, and physically powerful if you're caught right in the middle of it.
Aaaand I'm going to stop there before I sound anymore like some stuffy stuck-up intellectual type, haha. But anyway - what do you guys think of Rokul, from Wahrok "Tail" and Thul "Thunder"? Sharp and snappy like the action, but not a super-obvious compound (I hope)?
