son, daughter, step-kid, kid²; person who you are a taba of (i.e. you were not in the mibtu when they were born but you were in the marriage elsewhen)
root word
practically, this only really applies if you are an "after" taba of said person, i.e. you joined the marriage after their birth. this is not used by a "before" taba (i.e. you were in the marriage before their birth but weren't in the marriage for it), because this either means you are dead (and thus... cannot be speaking about your ulu) or you are an "ex" of the marriage, at which point most everyone agrees they do not deserve to be related to you
e asa e Ne'omi ulu asan jaqi joftemko na mibtu uzi upaunor... - seeing my kid² Ne'omi moving on from us and marrying is bittersweet...
ulu, tzat oto asa sucra? asa seika omalxun... - kid, do you like me? i'm trying hard...

nata noxnonoka natan suan tiwī - he's testing out his new algorithm
i'm not gonna sugarcoat it this is building up to a different entry which has a more fitting note but i didn't just wanna leave this in the paratext unexplained since i quite like it. so hi. you'll hear about my grievances tomorrow, not today. i like chocolate but not as much as i thought
(after physically or mentally having sorted through / "tested" the options) decide on, choose; [❌] pick, elect

yeah hey remember the last day of may where i sent the entry comically early so i could prepare to be a potential booth leader at the elections? yeah well we didn't get a majority vote that first found so we had to do that again yesterday, and i (clearly) didn't prepare as hard this time, which is of course the actual time when i got chosen to do the whole 9 hour spiel. the irony am i right gamers. anyways contrary to popular belief i liked it! it was a pretty by the books monotonous experience but i like by the books monotonous experiences because that's when you get to lock in. i also got to eat a crepe. so i dedicate this word to the june 21st 2026 colombian presidential elections in which i counted the votes for my booth in. even though it's june 22nd now but you don't care. i had fun. even if that catbombing moron ended up winning by less than 250k votes out of 25 million. i hove (hatelove) democracy. goodnight and stay woke we're gonna need it
posthumous commentary: wow, transgender woman doesn't like Abelardo de la Espriella? fork found in kitchen. anyways another change of definition. i forgot natzoka ("pick, (s)elect") already existed when i wrote those so i'm taking them out.

ok see now that i have a reasonable amount of night time to write this here's the geography thing i promised. boom! double feature again!
"west" and "east" were named in the phase of selsian transcontinental exploration, where many selsian travelers were sent out to check out more of the world and either survey it or settle in it. this started from Micemta and expanded outward. "east" was by far the most prosperous direction, since going east from Micemta allows you to travel to... well, basically every single Niburu continent reasonably, whereas the west has an incredibly vast ocean you'll have to cross before getting anywhere. thus, "east" was the direction of the "winners" of this exploration game, and "west", to those winners, was the direction of home, where the remaining selsians were forming the empire of "archival", the Language Capital (Micemta itself)
anyways i have my A1 german final tomorrow and i have not studied soooo wish me luck chat (i didn't study for the last one we did either and got a 93 we're fiiiiiine it's fine)
North
from sol "free, able" + -xe "-like thing"
solxe fej nu'a ipol nokao bewten - to the north, everything stays the same, characteristically
...AND!
South
from praq "root, depth" + -xe "-like thing"
raqexi fej nu'a pabēl bewten - to the south, everything changes, characteristically
the good thing about introducing words that are in a set is that it makes my next days sooo much easier. here's all your cardinal directions!
"north" and "south" are also named after anecdotes exploration relative to Micemta. Micemta sits to the southwest of the selsian home continent, so exploring north of Micemta lets you go... everywhere else! and basically stay on land the whole time. meanwhile, exploring south of Micemta means you must traverse the ocean extensively, but in exchange reach many new lands! however, you can't contact explorers at sea like you can explorers on land, so seafaring becomes a "quiet zone" of exploration, as if traversing by the underground "roots" of the world, while the surface is the flowers!
here's a map of Niburu with a shoddy compass so you know what i'm talking about. boom diagram. goodnight!
posthumous commentary: image!

i had the other four basic tastes done a whiiiiile ago but this one is unironically really complicated so i hadn't done it until now. the secret is that, with words, it only has to get complicated later... you can make comically simple words to begin with and then just leave the language with them even as the concept they refer to expands... food for thought. soup for thought. cheese for thought? nutritional yeast for thought? vegemite for thought? ok no more thoughts it's getting confusing again
