Munja'kin

Etymology

From jilan +‎ -ri.

Pronunciation

IPA(key): /dʒaˈlindɾi/

Noun

jalindri (nominal form (irregular), verbal form jilan)

  1. birth, being born
    Mia koa niu vozoku an jalindri an Oza.
    Magic has existed as long as Oz. (Lit. Magic has existed from the birth of Oz.)
    -Nahara (Emerald City, Episode 109)

Creation and Usage Notes

Of course the one nominalized form I absolutely use I screw up... The terminative suffix -n comes from Proto-Munja'kin *aŋ, which means that when the suffix -ri is added, it's supposed to take a [ɡ] as its epenthetic consonant—not a [d]. That's what made it cool! But of course I forgot this on the one stupid word that actually showed up in the script... Classic.
