paarthurnaxFaraanus has a pretty narrow meaning - it only relates to monetary fortune and wealth. "Saavir" is more broad. For example, a rich land, a rich-tasting cake, or a rich color.
Then can we add notes or more definitions to clear this up?

hiithpaarthurnax I added some notes to saavir that should clear things up. When it comes to expanding word definitions, words that are made using suffixes are going to be less flexible. For example, faraanus comes directly from faraan, which we know from canon means "wealth/fortune." This makes its closest English equivalent "wealthy." Removed ho. The canon mentions that hi is the formal version of "you," so I think ho was created under the thought of "well, then what is the informal pronoun?"

hiith Changed to "Koraavnu." I think there should be a separate word for the verb "to blind" then. It could be "Gekoraavnu," "to make sightless," or some shorter alternative. |

qobofuspaarthurnax Sure - I think a better way to think of "Vokoraav" might be "desight;" "the light blinded him / the light desighted him." |
