Today's topic is... Clothes
Okay, let’s see.
We need people who weave, which means we need something to weave.
vinkin is a sort of linen-like fiber which grows easily in their environment. vinken is the fabric made from it, and vonken is to weave or to make fabric.
rortlon is to sew; rirtlin is a sewn garment, rertlen is “sewn.”
in most cases, rirtlin has come to mean clothing as a whole.
lenlen is a sewing needle; hinlon is thread.
hinhin is embroidery, which is often done with beads made of wood, metal, or clay.
oh, yes, beads.
Ishji, ishin, jijin. (wooden, metal, clay beads).
The main garment worn is a folded sheet of fabric joined at the shoulders and often belted (kedvel; kidvil, a belt) around the waist; when the weather is cold, a tube that would probably be considered a shrug in modern terms is worn under or over this main garment. The garment is a tilri (telren, folded; tilren, fold; tolren, to fold); the sleeve/shrug is a nini.
(none, to give someone the shoulder, to turn your back on them).
