widazhad: to be pregnant late in term and eager for the end
radiídin: a non-holiday, a holiday more work that it’s worth, a time allegedly a holiday but actually so much a burden because of work and preparations that it is a dreaded occasion; especially when there are too many guests and none of them help
rathom: a “non-pillow,” one who lures another to trust and rely on them but has no intention of following through, a “lean on me so I can step aside and let you fall” person
rathóo: a non-guest, someone who comes to visit knowing perfectly well that they are intruding and causing difficulty
ramimelh: to refrain from asking, with evil intent; especially when it is clear that someone badly wants the other to ask
bala: anger with reason, with someone to blame, which is not futile
bina: anger with no reason, with no one to blame, which is not futile
ab: love for one liked but not respected
doóledosh: pain or loss which comes as a relief by virtue of ending the anticipation of its coming |
