Lexember Day 29: Colors

[aldersprig]

The Calenyena love color, really, really love color. Everything about their world is bright and colorful.

Here are just a few color words:

I have already kat, red, len, orange, and paato, yellow.

gomol, from the old gom, means green. It is speculated the the -ol brings it closer to the Bitrani word for green, miagermo

Tien, from the old teetaanzhun, sky-like, is blue, a broad term encompassing most shades, as are kat and gomol.

And just because we only had it tucked into another word -liz means "brightly rainbow-colored."

Is "tien" related to "Tienebrah"?

Of course the Calenyena would have a word for "brightly rainbow-colored" XD

Nope, that's an accidental similarity. Tienebrah is a Bitrani (Tabersi) word.

'though now that you mention it, Tienebrah is the god/dess of the sky.
