Zahr

This was edited from "Zaar," but should be edited to avoid "ah" in the middle of the word. It could possibly be deleted in favor of the canon "Jot," "maw."

Zahk

This word should likewise be edited. The notes mention it derives from "Zahkrii," but that comes from "Krii," so "Zahk" would not make sense as a derivation.

@Zahr, I believe there should be separate words for mouth and jaw, just like there are the separate words for engulf and cover. Or head and brain. Maybe the word for mouth (or jaw) could derive from Jot.

@Zahk, Perhaps a derivative from the word Zeik or the canon word Kinzon. A compound idea is Klovzeik. Lit. "Head spike". Or an original word itself.

Tinvaakin

Request change to tinvakiid for consistency.

-in is another possible suffix, as seen in qahnaarin "vanquisher." Alternatively could be interpreted as "vanquish-master" or "speech-master."

Yes, I think that'd be a good idea.

@paarthurnax, as a reminder, -in still needs to be added to the affix list.

Hein

I suggest another word for the alternate spelling Heim to match the alternate spelling of "Him" from "Hin".

@Doj, much much agreed. Feel free to name any suggestions.

@Mindokziin, edited to mindok-sik.

@Hein, if we establish a rule for when him and heim should be used, then we can use this. For now, him is attributed to a spelling mistake, so it wouldn't make sense to create heim.

This is my word. It appears there's already a word "Tinviis" meaning Accent.

This is my bad, I didn't check before publishing. Perhaps an alternative based on rot "word"?

@Tinviis, Perhaps Tinviir or Tinviik? If not, maybe "Ofanrot" Lit. "Give word". I actually like the sheer sound of Ofanrot.
