Raxzuth

Can this be a verb?
If so, can it be added to the word notes?

No, it is a noun only. It refers specifically to the tool. You could perhaps use it as a verb in the sense of "using a rake," but not "raking claws," etc.

Thank you Liis. It's much better than in my initial submission.

Skovaan

Kilts are body wrappings more than they are skirts, so I would like to suggest using a root word from "wrap" or perhaps something from "man/male-wrap" or "waist-wrap" rather than an altered version of 'skirt'.

Originally kilts were put on by laying the fabric out on the ground and a man lays on the ground, and is literally rolled into the kilt, which wrapped around his waist/hips/body a number of times (example:5-10 times). This is very different from a dress or skirt.

Sulsinak

I propose this definition for Sulsinak: "Visible beams of sunlight which pass through/around trees, clouds and other photoporous objects." The same for 'Vulonsinak', but with 'Moonlight'.

I know I already said this but I would really like to see the definition phrasing changed. My first attempt seems very clumsy in retrospect.

Lax

Does Lax refer to a violin bow, or just the kind you shoot with? I was trying to figure out whether there should or shouldn't be a separate word for a musical bow. Would 'Laxstrin' be a good disambiguation word or is none needed?

Lax specifically refers to the weapon.

I propose Mirozun be revised to "Lonlax" from "Lon" (Fist) and "Lax" (Bow).

@paarthurnax I think there needs to be a disambiguation between an elastic sling used for projectiles and a stationary sling such as a hammock or medical sling (such as an arm sling that helps support the weight of the arm while healing from a structural injury). Does "Mirol" fit one definition better than the other? Either way, there should definitely be two words for the two different 'sling's.

This word is in reference to the weapon "sling". Perhaps golrokiiz "stone-whip."

@paarthurnax Are there going to be separate words for "slingshot" and the old fashioned sling? If so, I think "Golrokiiz" is perfect for the old fashion rotary 'David and Goliath-style' sling. 'Whip' is a great description of the motion involved.

Bo

Perhaps could contain above. The banners in High Hrothgar state Lok Bo, Thuum Tuum. Most likely this means Sky Above, Voice Within. A commonly used phrase.

There is no indication that this specific plant exists in The Elder Scrolls universe, so it is Modern rather than non-canon.
